I've have used 5 Anderson lowers for different builds. I've used a JSE upper, RedX upper, Anderson "blem" upper that I built on w/different parts, some floated handguard some w/the std bolt. I have 1 more to put together for a 300 blackout build I'm saving for. So far all have been very good...

I've tried Trailboss in the 45/70 but w/cast bullets & not plated. I don't know velocity but it makes the Ruger #1 very easy to shoot for plinking loads. The big holes are the 45/70, the little ones are a 32mag. I shot these a while back and don't remember the particulars, I think the distance...

The first pic is a NOE mold, I believe a #313640. It's outside in the shop & I'm too lazy to go look it up. I have another NOE mold that's a "Keith" design for the 32. Both bullets come in around 113-118 w/check & lube. Sorry for the poor quality pics...cheap cell phone.

I have a Ruger Blackhawk in .327 but haven't shot it in quite a while. I have a new bullet mold to try out but it's cold here & my want to's aren't high enough up on the list to start casting in a 20 degree workshop. Maybe this spring I'll pull it out of the safe and start some testing with it...

I have the 4" stainless model. Purchased it about 2-3 months ago but haven't shot it very much. I only have a couple bricks of 22lr and a couple box's of 22mag so it's sat in the safe most of the time. I like the interchangeable cylinders and it's easy to swap but I noticed from the factory...

I purchased an Anderson from these guys. They're a couples hours away from where I live. Bought the lower & parts kit first. Then they ran a sale on the JSE uppers & I picked one of them up too. No complaints, both run fine...

You might try here. I have a few of Al's molds, they cast great. http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/index.php?cPath=41&osCsid=gemmmtkpifgqqvdv7925gaivo5

I had a similar problem w/RCBS & Lee dies on the LNL press. In my case the die/dies weren't sizing far enough down on the body of the case. I was taking .223 once fired & converting to a 20 practical. I had the barrel in hand and was having problems with chambering. I took a black sharpie &...

I've had that happen a few times also on 38spl and 9mm. I use a small flat blade screw driver or the tip of a drywall screw and wedge it under the bottom of the primer. It takes some prying but usually pops out. Sometimes I scrape a mark on one side till it's scored through and that makes it a...

Not sure what you have to use them in but I use 4759 for reduced loads in my 45/70, also reduced loads in most jacketed bullet cartridges. I use 4756 in cast 9mm & 38spl. I favor it in the 9mm w/cast because it was the last powder I tried when experimenting w/a leading problem. It stopped the...

I use the M die and the Lee Universal Expander mostly for cast bullets. I started using the Hornady New Dimension seater die for my .223, keeps the bullet nice and straight.

I haven't tried 50/50 but I use a version of the CR from Glen. It's his commercial grade, isn't quite as "sticky" so the boolits don't stick together near as bad when storing in a box. I shoot a Miha 359-125 in my SR9C and Hi Point carbine...just cast & sized some 45's using said lube...works...

I like both of mine. I shoot the full size a little better than the commander. I handload and cast my own bullets so a little load development is in order. The full size dosen't seem too picky about what it eats. I've used Red Dot, 231, Universal, & Clays. So far I'm unable to tell any...

These days it seems everything you buy is a gamble. I've read bad reviews on winchester brass, & have also been a victim of bad brass, brand new, fresh out of the package winchester brass. Winchester 22-250 used to be the go to if you didn't want/couldn't afford the higher end brass. I had 4...
