    Reloading .44 Mag for a levergun.

    My "hot" handloads (hard cast) that I shoot in my blackhawk showed signs of overpressure in my marlin 94. I think the chamber in the marlin is tighter . . . . I'll have to back them down a bit and work up a load that works best for the marlin . . .

    Remington 511 Score Master

    The first gun I ever shot. I think grandpa got it in the early 40's. Then it was Dad's and now sits in my gun safe (along with my model 97 12 guage (1911 born date) that was the first shotgun I ever shot and also handed down to me.) I remember when dad taught me how to shoot . . . he used to...

    Filling ammo boxes

    I got a lot of little plastic zip lock bags about 4"x4". Each bag will hold 30ea. .223/5.56. Then toss them into my ammo can. The bag provides a little padding and I've got one full mag worth in each bag, so when reloading the mags, it's one bag each. Just grab a bag and load . . . and the...

    45 acp with Power Pistol

    I've not been pleased with Power Pistol . . . Just can't seem to find a consistant load with it . . . I prefer to use: Unique, Bullseye, W 231, and True Blue. I've been able to work excellent loads using various types of bullets with these powders. Just can't find a combination that works...

    True Blue Powder (Ramshot/Western Powders)

    True Blue meters very well . . . so it's easy to use. I use 6.9gr to push Berry's plated 185gr HBRN bullets and 7.4gr for 230gr FMJ RN. Both loads are very accurate.
