yes but I'm not suggesting to use the same amount of powder. I'm asking loaded at the same velocity (which would require less powder given there is less case capacity). If you have quick load or...

I appreciate all the answers, I have been reloading for a long (20 years) time and have no desire to find the edge of safety. However, I want to use 38 special brass as I have alot of it and it...

I thought I might get the most well reasoned answer here, although it does not strictly pertain to cast bullet reloading. If I have a .357 revolver (S&W 340) and choose to reload 38 special brass to...

as expected reasonable answers based on experience. thanks, btw I trim to length regularly and as stated above the sharp shoulder 300wsm requires this far less often than an '06 (the only advantage...

I have reloaded and cast bullets for 20+ years and have never needed to do any of the above procedures. I now have some 300 WSM Norma brass that has been loaded a dozen times and find that the...

I did try exactly this load. Recoil was not excessive and it shot as well as I can. Thanks

My bullets are solid so no worries blowing the skirt off but I do want to seat them considerably deeper than the 158gr SWC I was using. Just wondering If I have to back off on the load to compensate...

I'm looking for a load using Unique that will be at or near max for the Lee 148gr TL wadcutter. The revolver is a snub Smith and Wesson. Since the wadcutter will be seated much deeper than the...

I recently started reloading 38 special using 158 gr swc from a Lee mold, tumble lubed. As there is often a ring of lube on the shoulder of the bullet, I thought why not roll crimp above the top...

thanks Larry thats exactly what I was looking for - just want to pot a few of the dimmer grouse that sit in the tree and cluck at you in the interest of improving the gene pool and dinner.

I have been wondering about seating a gas check over 10 grains unique then filling the case with #8 shot then crimping another gas check at the top of the case to hold the shot in. I had read about...

If one of the purposes of a gas check is to scrape the bore free from lead deposits, then can one use gas check bullets that are sub optimally lubed without trouble? I've been using allox and been...

whats the powder and charge for the above group with the ranch dog bullets, Im looking to stock up on powder and would like one that works well with both cast and jacketed 350 gr bullets. thanks

several reasons ; I have them and they're too small to be effective paper weights, breaking in a new barrel with jacketed bullets first smooths the throat and reduces leading/fouling later, finally,...

thanks for the replies, Ive narrowed it down to 4198 or reloader 7, 4198 seems to have more flexibility in terms loads, most manuals seem to give charges that cover trap door pressures to as high ...

I'm looking for one powder to stock up on that will allow me to shoot 300 to 350 grain jacketed bullets as well as 360 grain cast GC boolits in my 45-70 guide gun. Looking for moderate loads in the...

I recently started casting for centerfire handguns and have had good results with tumble lube bullets. I now want to cast for my 45-70 and have read here about Ranch Dog moulds but they seem to be...
