    Are you sure? I didn't have any new messages today.

    I need a new step to my process...

    Before I trusted the chargemaster, I would calibrate it with the 2 50g weights it came with, then check a dispensed charge against another digital scale I had which used 10g weights for calibration. I still calibrate the chargemaster every time I turn it on, after letting it sit for half an hour...

    Pay it Forward in Reloading

    It's at least 290 bullets. My bad. I dunno what coated SWC might be, but if they're not happy going 1500+ feet per second and/or don't have a cannelure, I probably don't want them. You can still have the bullets, though. PM me a shipping address. I could really use some thin sheet metal, kydex...

    Shining a Light on One Cause of Pistol Inconsistency

    I had a great day today after a not so good one. Maybe it was just YOU, and by the time you got to the 115s you got used to the gun and shot better with it?

    Thanks to you all!

    I have a Lee breech lock with the quick change bushings and all. Swapping dies takes < 5 seconds. I dunno how a turret press would speed things up appreciably. I'm eyeing the 1050 with an automatic bullet feeder... For the price of a nice rifle, I could load cases of ammo in a day. I...

    454 or 45 Colt?

    Should be fine with a spacer, all other things being equal.

    454 or 45 Colt?

    In either case, reloading both cartridges with the same dies is going to require some fidgeting which will change the settings and require adjustments every time you want to change cartridges. Primarily with flaring, bullet seating, and crimping. That being said, I believe you'd be able...

    I get most of the stuff on the table but what's with the mountain dew bottle?

    Do or don't? 1st gen Colt 45

    I think I just learned something. found some posts by driftwood talking about how to measure bc gap. cylinder forward, the gap is going to be between 3 and 5 thousandths. endshake then is between 0.0251 and 0.0249, respectively. the maximum gap is 0.0254" that is a pretty big gap...

    Do or don't? 1st gen Colt 45

    mec, I saw that too. I also found a discussion about shooting black powder and acceptable gaps were out to .04".

    Do or don't? 1st gen Colt 45

    Wait a minute... One quarter inch is 0.25" which is 25 hundredths of an inch and 250 thousandths of an inch or something a little bigger than 6mm. 20 thousandths of an inch is somewhere a little south of half a milimeter. I think your numbers are wrong. Where did you come up with the 6-8...

    Do or don't? 1st gen Colt 45

    @Driftwood: I measured with my eyeball. They're not super accurate, but being a little more precise, it's going to fall somewhere between 2 and 3 hundredths of an inch. Unfortunately my feeler gauges and such are still packed up in storage, so I'm a little limited at the moment. "Slop backward...

    Do or don't? 1st gen Colt 45

    Yeah, I was reading some of the threads you posted in discussing the fitted cylinders. Would I send that to colt or try to find a Smith in Houston to do it? If the latter, anyone have any recommendations?

    Do or don't? 1st gen Colt 45

    My grandfather passed away and left me a nice old revolver. It's marked Colt 45 on the barrel, PAT SEPT 19, 1871 on the receiver, the dates below that are hard to make out. Serial number 199XXX which should be a 1901 manufacture date from what I've read. Anywho, it's condition is...
