I just wanted to re-up my membership . My avatar is my 41 Magnum S&W model 58 . I have a new .41 Wadcutter mould to try ... NOE #413-215-WC (413432) this design is based on the Lyman 358432 160 gr. wadcutter ... but enlarged to .41 cal. , should be a winner... I got some cast , sized and...

I taught myself to cast bullets and load them with the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook in 1967 ... The Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook is still my #1 source of casting information and loading data . Buy the latest ...4th Edition and read the first 18 chapters before the loading data ... it will answer a...

You ask for #4 Buck and you get #2 Steel ... Don't go back to that store ... The clerk is a crook (he ripped you off) or he's an idiot .... Stay clear of idiots and crooks ... both are just trouble . See if you can find some #4 Buck ... that's what I use ! If you can't find #4 ... good old 00...

Berry's Plated bullets are giving you your problems ... They aren't all that consistent . The plating is not an exact thickness all over the bullet like a formed metal jacket will be . In fact Berry's Plated are about the least consistent bullet made ... it's just the plating process nature of...

Nope ... the 44 has been around far too long to walk off the stage now . Too many good 44's to just all shrivel up and blow away . Mike V. just didn't have anything interesting to write about .... Controversy is always something to toss out when you got nothing . I guess he was tired of the...

Not typical for any SA made by any Manufacturer . I only have two SA's a Ruger Blackhawk and a Ruger Wrangler ... and both can be cocked with the muzzel pointed in any direction ... just did straight up, straight down and out sideways ... with both and no hang ups or binding anywhere . Something...

I was only trying to post some helpful information ... not all want to wait / pay for custom made plugs ... They just so easy to make and you get a perfect fit with J-B Weld . If you have a good suggestion ... pass it along ... we all sailing in the same reloading boat . Gary

I'm looking at the Hornady Handbook 8th edition - 223 Remington - 55 gr. bullet section . With the powders you have , velocity wise ... only one powder beats Varget ... ( BL-C2 ) Now IMR4895 is only 100 fps below Varget ... and IMR4895 has long been used in Service Rifle Match Ammo and is known...

Well ... You Win ! I thought I was Cheap ... but Flip Flop Recoil Pad .... ATTABOY ... You win First Place in the Cheap Contest ! Gary

The Ruger Super Wrangler is a good buy ... it has adjustable sights and two cylinders ... one that shoots 22 CB Caps , 22 Shorts , 22 Longs and 22 LR and a second cylinder to shoot 22 Magnum with . The local Cabela's has them advertised at $229 ... two years ago I bought the fixed sighted...

I began stock piling Powder , Primers , Brass cases , bullet moulds , wheel weights and 22 Rimfire ammo in 2007-2008 ... I have since moved to full blown Hoarding . You a little late ! Gary

Get a custom fit in any seating plug with The Bullet and J-B Weld Epoxy Putty . Clean and degrease inside of the plug ... wax or grease the bullet - so it doesn't get stuck in the fitted seating plug . You can use J-B Weld epoxy Glue but it might run ... the epoxy Putty stays put ... Get a...

Check NOE Bullet Moulds for a better copy of the Lyman ... www.noebulletmoulds.com Look at design #'s ... 453-197-SWC ... 453-198-SWC and ... 453-200-SWC NOE moulds use Lee mould handles (90005) with no modifications required ... Once you try a NOE mould ... you will Throw Rocks at Lee &...

The best penetrating oil is a DIY mix of conventional Automatic Transmission Fluid ( I use GM compatible ) and Acetone ... a 50 / 50 mix ... Now here is the important part .... a choke has a lot of fine threads and it takes any penetrating oil a long time to work it's way all through those fine...

Nailed It ... Give that man a See-Gar ! Gary
