I keep my bullet weight at 158 gr. and use mostly LSWC. For light loads I like -AA No 2 700X Trail Boss Medium loads - AA No 5 HS-6 Heavy Magnum- WIn 296 2400

Trail Boss and AA No.2 with 158gr.LSWC will work.

AA No. 5 for my revolvers (.38spec,357mag & 44mag) Pistol I like 700x. (45acp & 9mm)

Bullseye,700X,Win 231,HS-6,AA No.5 and AA No. 2 all work for me. Bullseye and 700X are powders I use the most for 45acp.

Hard to beat a Smith & Wesson revolver. I like the 357 magnum because of its versatility and ability to shoot mild 38 special loads or powerful 357 magnum loadings. 686 is stainless model and 586 is blued version of the L frame series which will handle any load you put through them . The K...

According to my Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson your 19-3 was made in 1969. 1969 = K848782-K946391 Serial numbers K prefix. Beautiful revolver, Model 19 is one of my favorite Smith & Wesson’s.

My Western Powders Handloading Guide was in the mail today.I bought mine from Midsouth Shooters with US priority shipping it was $36.88 total. The manual contains a lot of useful information including sections about barrel slugging,removal of stuck cases ,finding twist rate and reloading basics...

Accurate. No.5. Meters great and works good in a lot of different calibers.

I do the same I like to write it down on paper and I always later add notes as to how well load performed or other information I learned about load. I also keep all this in a three ring binder so I can cut out good magazine articles or online data from powder manufacturers and add to my data...

Yes I resize all new brass also measure,trim to length ,deburr and give the primer pocket a quick look.

I have two Lyman 55's one from the early 80's the other 2 years old and both are very good powder measures. They both meter consistently even 700X and are easy to use and built to last. The two things to remember is to keep your powder hopper more than half full and the other is to be consistent...

Yes I do. I use Lee Alox with all my commercial lead cast bullets that have hard lube from factory. I thin the Alox with a little mineral spirits then put some in an old Tupperware container pour 500 bullets close lid and shake a little. Then empty onto wax paper and let dry for a day.I figured...

Great idea . I clamp a drill motor in bench vice with same brush in chuck works for me.

Thanks for the heads up and sad to hear Brent was laid off. I followed a lot of his helpful posts here and on other forums I don't know what to think about that decision from the Colt brass, seems to be a bad one . With this news I'm not so excited about purchasing a new Colt revolver any time...
