Thank You bds great info!

Ii am looking for load information for 38 and .357 using 158Gr. Hard cast bullet and red dot or promo powder. My older books don’t have any loads listed.

Would anyone know where a guy could get a take off barrel in 30.06 for a Rem Mod. 700 it would need to be in as new condition

Edmo01, really like your buck knife. I looked for it on The Buck site but could not find it. Can you tell me the model # or some way I could ID it.

I am not new to loading but I want to start loading 30-30 and .35 and I have some question about expander dies. I picked up a used two die 30-30 set and after a lot of reading I discovered I may not have what I need. I plan on loading some cast bullets and i may need a expander die. Will the...

I need a new loading manual. Any opinions on the best overall loading manual that covers a wide verity of subjects including loading cast bullets. :confused:

.38 special is very alive and very well as far as I am concerned. The last 3 gun purchases made by me in the last year were, two .38/.357 revolvers and one .38 spec. Revolver. All three were Ruger. I am now thinking about another .38/.357 single action Ruger. I am a Ruger fan and a .38/.357...

Doing some online shopping for cast bullets I noticed two different diameter bullets offered for the .38/.357, .357 and .358. I always used .357 diameter in loading .38 and .357 cal. With no issues, I guess I never looked into whether there is a advantage using one or the other. I thought the...

All very good info. I can always count on this forum for good information. I think I settled on one of the RCBS units, probably the one with the square tray because of not needing shell holders. We'll see what happens. I always like getting new stuff.

I looked at the Lee and liked it but I thought the down side of the Lee was having to get the set of shell holders. I wonder if the shell holder I use on my RCBS press will fit the lee tool.

I am in the market for a hand held priming tool. So doing a little research I was surprised to find that there are so many choices. I load mostly .38 and.357 and use a RCBS Jr. Press. With age and arthritis creeping up I am finding it is no simple task handling the small pistol primers any...

3031, great for loading 30.06 it has to be one of my all time rifle powders. Never had a problem with it.

Thanks guys, a lot of great info on this site. I see there might be a problem with metering of the powder. I plan on trying 700x but I will weigh every load.

Love that H&R 999. I have one that looks just like that one shown. Probably the last one I will ever part with. It's going to a special grandson. At 11 now he loves it just as much as I do.

Nice shooting . I wish I had your ability.
