    Trying to decide on only one bullet for 357

    Vast majority of what i've shot in the blackhawk has been 158 gr swc coated. I've been shooting 148gr coated in the henry lever lately

    Lubricant for carbide dies?

    I'm sure i still have some one shot around here somewhere but haven't used it since i started using the rock chucker for all my sizing. At least a couple years.

    A New Cartridge For Me - 45 LC - Any Advice?

    been quite a while since I've fired .45 colt in the blackhawk. Maybe its time i revisited it. The marlin is never going to shoot .45acp , It may be possible to make up a .45 colt load that works well in the marlin as well as the blackhawk. I'm getting ahead of myself maybe. I've got an...

    A New Cartridge For Me - 45 LC - Any Advice?

    yep , levergun (marlin in my case) in 45 colt is fun and easy to reload and shoot. I use red dot , clays or 244 cause it's what I have. Wouldn't hesitate to use unique if i had it. I don't shoot 45 colt in the black hawk because of recoil but shoot 45 acp all day in it.

    What have you done in the reloading room today

    my wife keeps finding 9mm cases in my shirt pockets after range day. Yeah i know better that then other things. Some of the loads tightgroup and silohouette for instance , the smith and wesson mp2 really sends them packing. I love the smell of hoppes anytime. The sound on the roof outside is...

    What have you done in the reloading room today

    I was finishing off reloading almost a full box (50) of .45 acp with 225gr acme truncated cone .452 over clays and spp (speer cases) . Late in the game I realized tension was horrible on most if not all. Kinetic hammer to all, recovered and reloaded with berry 230 rn with good tension . I...

    What have you done in the reloading room today

    I've gone through that procedure before - the recoil, flattened primers and stiff extraction told me they were too hot. :) The older i get the more important the recoil gets

    I guess this goes here...I have a new Rock Chucker press

    My rock chucker is a couple of years old and love it, I was looking for something to help with sizing pistol cases with these old hands of mine and thats what it is dedicated too, have not seen necessary to change a thing. Only do 9mm up to 45 colt and no rifle so maybe that has something to do...

    Digital scale recommendations

    For the most part i like my chargemaster, took some getting used to. Recently forgot to close the dump valve when i loaded powder, that kind of stuff. I empty the scale every night and recalibrate before each reload session. Probably in the mfg instructions if i could find them. Arthritis and...

    What Got You Into Reloading?

    yep, late 60's , dove hunting, 12 gauge, only way i could afford was to reload. When you hit a dove close with a 12 gauge there is nothing left to clean. Just thought i would throw that last comment in :)
