Lyman 452374 two cavity with handles: $70

I’ll take it.

PM sent.

Excellent Lloyd!!! I'm kinda surprised the bullet broke up at the velocity. I have shot a bunch of deer with my 45 Colts using a 260 grain bullet from 50/50 alloy at about 900 FPS and have almost...

I don't have a pic of the 45 Colts but here is a pic of the ACP's.

I have had good luck with 460 S&W brass shortened yo about .01 shorter than cylinder length of the revolver. Then size them with a 45 Colt sizing die. After that run them through a 44-40 sizing die...

I have no problem with heavy bullets in my Freedom Arms 475's. I have a 5" and a 6" barreled 475. They have both shot 12-16" groups at 425 yards with iron sights. That was with a medium dose of...

My gun was built by Huntington! He is the one that made it a 500 JRH! He used one of his octagon barrels! It also has enough room to run my 460 grain LFN's! Anyways I'm done talking about it!!!!...

A Freedom in JRH has the right twist! When Huntington puts a barrel on for a cartridge he created I'm quessing it has the right twist! Do you ever tire of the constant bashing of Freedom Arms?

I can't comment on the BFR, but I have a custom FA in 500 JRH. Brass is as simple as cutting down 500 S&W brass and turning the rims. I don't think the rims need turned for the BFR. Really a great...

Sorry! This is in the wrong forum and I don't know how to move it.

I sold some molds last weekend. I have not gotten them shipped yet. My son had a severe allergic reation to something and has been admitted to the childrens hospital 2 hours away. It has been a...

I like the Premier Grade rear. I tried the Express rear and found it good for about 20-25 yards. The Premier rear along with a Clements front is just about perfect in my book. I have that setup on...

I have one just like it. One of my favorites. Here is a good read for anyone with a S&W in 45 Colt.

For hunting I am a big fan of carrying cross-draw. I have tried many different holsters, but my two favorites are a Simply Rugged Sourdough and a Freedom Arms Cross-draw. The Freedom Arms holster...

X2. This bullet has been a goto bullet in my 45 calibers for a long time.

You can make it out of 500 S&W brass. I use an RCBS power trimmer to do mine. I just get it started then give it a shot of WD40 and it cuts good. Takes awhile but works. I'm thinking about...

I have had bullet skid on both my 475's and my 500. In all cases it started to skid but quit till it got to the last band. In all case I had good accuracy also.

If any of you guys have the Lyman 501680 and the LEE 500-440-RF, I am curious about the nose length of these 2 molds. I just need from the top of the crimp groove to meplat dimension. Thanks.

I have not handled one before, but they look like they would be fun!!

It has been done. Lee Martin from singleactions.com has done it. There is also a conversion that is called the .458X400 which uses 45-70 brass cut to 1.285 and loaded with .458 400 grain bullets. ...

You need to convince my 475's and 500 WE that HS6 is not a longrange powder!! They didn't get the memo!! Hodgdons data for the 500 WE uses Federal 210 rifle primers. Being as the 500 WE and 500...

Well I finally got a chance to try them today. I used a 210 Federal large rifle primer and 15 grains of HS6 under a 400 grain LFN. At 50 yards there was a little improvement. At 100 yards it cut...

I picked up a pound of this today. I wanna try it in my 475 Linebaughs and 500 JRH. Anybody have any experience with it? Good or bad!

Toby

Yeah he has some. I just had some 500 S&W brass I was gonna trim up also.

Toby

Its a Freedom Arms, so they need turned.

Toby

I called Jack to get the dimensions for the length and rim diameter for making them out of 500 S&W brass. I got the length all cut down on them, but can't find the paper I wrote it down on. I think...
