Looks like I have a lot more to think about than what mold to buy.
I will definitely be using this Rossi for plinking and hunting (if my buddy will let me fill a couple of his twenty tags), from what I've been reading the chamber on it is rated at or above 50,000+cup so ruger only loads shouldn't be a problem.
.45c seems to be a very interesting cartridge to reload for, I'm researching the powders that can be used and I was quite surprised by the list.
Paddy, I'm considering the sbr stamp and stock, someday i'll take the plunge.
Correct me if I'm wrong everyone but to push the heavier bullets i'll need a slower powder, all I have on hand is SR7625, SR4756 and IMR PB. I'm looking for universal, 700X, Trailboss, green dot, blue dot and quite a few others locally but as of yet I haven't run across anything. GAH!
I think I need to slow down and really think through a few choices now, there's a powder coating place right around the corner from me, I,ll swing by there and see if I can get my hands on pc. There's a place I can buy cast bullets here , though I'm afraid to see the prices for their "premium match grade" bullets, or ill make a small purchase online of a few different weights to start. I'll try both pc and lube and see which one works better for me.
Will I still need to use gas checks if I powder coat?
The bullets I have laying around here are hornady frontier lead .452 230gr lrn, the bearing surface is knurled, I think these are for cowboy loads. Correct me if I'm wrong but I should keep these subsonic? My only intention for these are plinking anyway.
