This above. I’m shooting a Ruger SSM. I’ve never chrono’d it but my estimates are ~1000 fps. I don’t get any leading.

I have good luck with 3.5 HP-38/231 and 3.5 Green Dot with the 100 grainer.
I've found out for my particular 7.5 SRH that it likes 4227 and a heavy crimp. The only other powders that shoot well are 110/296 or Enforcer. The best bullet weight is around 325-335 from Cast...
I understand your concern. I have bought around 15lbs of TSS in intervals and had no problem. They even sent their load recipes for what I purchased. I have no issues. Good luck.
I don't use 410, but I'd recommend #9 TSS from super18tungstenshot. If you purchase from them, email the owner, hawglips, and he will send you a few recipes once you describe your gun and gauge. From...
Nice group. Plain bore or rifled? Looks stable, no yawing.

Vance Outdoors in Columbus OH area has them. Don't know how far you're willing to go.

Greetings,
I am venturing into Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) and seeing what the hype is all about. I know, I'm always the one who starts late after everyone else has done it. I found that BPI had...
Shoot 45 Colt until you can manage that recoil. Then move up to 454.
I switched over to Enforcer (AA4100) and I4227 for 454. Only problem is little granules of 4227 leftover until I put a heavy crimp and near max load. I really like LG, but the shooting session gets a...
I agree 100%. Even though I have a 7.5 in SRH in 454, I couldn't imagine it with a 2.5 bbl! The extra weight really helps and with bears on the table, I would want a double action with big bullets...

I haven't done anything other than detailing. Currently in the safe and protected. It's action is a little rough, but it has only one action bar. So for its time must have been a great gun. Thanks...

I would just do the 2 shot method. Kind of hard to get accurate groupings with a bayonet attached to the barrel with harmonics. I shoot for recording of velocity, find a node, then load some with...

I have inherited a Winchester 1897 from my wife's Great Grandfather that he purchased in 1908. It has a 28 inch (from muzzle to breach, so maybe 26?) modified barrel and is a takedown. All of the...
+1 With that small of a bullet, penetration is key, and the Fiocchi load is it. It's mostly a "get away from me" gun.
I look for ejection of spent cases. If they're flying over 10-20ft away, might need to up to recoil poundage. My Kimber was making them fly farther, so got a recoil spring package and tested each of...
I found this https://shootersreference.com/reloadingdata/450-bushmaster/
I usually use Enforcer, 4227, or Lil Gun, but bullets are 250-275. Best results for that heavy of a bullet would be a slow...

I just acquired one, and it looks like it's part of whatever holds the corncob forearm onto the mag tube. It looks like there is some type of ring under the forearm. I couldn't get it off to clean,...

LED's do put off a small frequency. I find that it's around 2-3 ft from the light. I usually just check with an old AM radio. You'll hear the difference as you get closer to the light. Mine is...
