When I first tried to shotize my 45 (since living in CA) I thought of going the route of my shot loads in 38 and 44 with the Speer shot capsules. I then tried (don't laugh please) to do a number like the TC Contender use to do. They had a regular brass shell and a extra long capsule full of...

I know that this post/thread is as old as the hills, but if the OP author is still looking and will read this, then I may have the answer. Living in CA is a very strange situation and I too wanted to try my hands at getting a shot load out of a 45LC format. Shell length and cylinder length...

None as yet, however the site I posted has a lot of pictures and they are using of all things a Lee Classic Cast Press just like me. I may have screwed up the top plate a bit though since my extra bonus mounting holes ended up behind the press instead of the side as they should have been...

I came across a really nifty set of products lately on the internet that may be of interest to some reloaders. If you're like me you make do with whatever setup you can concoct as a reloading bench. I happened to buy two six foot high hammer together shelving units that did as advertised and...

It's happened here and I unfortunately was almost a part of it. What I'm talking about is the assumption of what you read or have read on line just has to be the truth, no matter what the truth actually is. I felt like such a jerk for being a part of that and simple apologies are never quite...

Well I've owned many a MEC loader. The only one I chose not to own was their MEC 600 JR. That's because it shaves off brass to build up at the rim of the case. NOT FOR ME!!. So I preferred the likes of the MEC Grabber for a progressive (had trouble with that progressive though since a major...

Thanks guys for all the good information, but as in the above, I'm scared to death of H110 since it has so little leeway. A minimum to maximum loading of only one grain of powder is for me, not forgiving enough at all. With scooped powder, one would have to imagine at least one to two tenth's...

As the title implies, I'm ever so closer to sneaking up on my defensive 410 load but I need to find a forgiving 410 powder that would allow Lee scooping to dish out the powder. I really don't want to mess with scales and tricklers and the like. Just think, even some of the most expensive...

New to the Group Howdy folks. As the title implies, I'm new to the group and got here due to some searching for 410 information that lead me to discussions here on The High Road. I'm still working on the rest of the information I was searching for but kept getting interrupted by folks wanting...

Yeah you're probably right and you also probably called it when you said "unless you don't like the looks of it", because I really do not like the looks of it or what drove the manufacturers to think that they have to include such as that. When I first started SASS, I did not have a double...

Howdy folks I come from the SASS (cowboy action) neck of the woods and in SASS a bunch of time is taken by members in removing safeties that were never part of the gun that current production is now trying to copy. An example would be the bolt safety on a Rossi model 1892. It's ugly, serves a...
