Unless you are being threatened by dangerous game, you never  have to pick up the gun and shoot. You always have the option of passing up the shot. I'm with @Varminterror on this one.

I see what you did there. :rofl:

Took me a few meals to get used to the texture of the chick pea pasta, which we eat because my wife believes she is gluten intolerant (not actually diagnosed). I just needed to stop comparing it to traditional Semolina pasta. Many of the meat alternatives are pretty decent, too (she won't eat...

Decapped and tumbled 100+ pieces of .41 magnum brass.

If you're a super cheapskate, you can use spent brass for the .22. Just rotate them after you go round the cylinder once, so the pin is hitting fresh brass each time. You can get half a dozen pulls out of each.

Easy answer. Sell one or two of those five other guns you say you need to pay off. They are undoubtedly inferior and it would thus be an upgrade. You gotta want it.

Oooohh, I'm all a-quiver. I myself only have a measly S&W Model 57-6, so they haven't let me past the bike room yet. Be nice to the peasants as you saunter by us.

One bullet I don't think anyone has mentioned yet is a 148-grain wad cutter. Lots of folks swear by them. MBC and others offer a coated version at a very reasonable price. Looking back at the first post, the OP simply asked if it makes sense to pick one bullet and try different powders...

48 rounds of .357 Magnum using Acme 158-grain LSWCs and 5.0 grains of Universal.

And how! I struggle to get single digit MOA performance out of any handgun.

Are those prices is pesos? First one on the list says it's $15,000.

15.3 grains of 2400 ignited by a Remington 2-1/2 pushing an MBC 215-grain LSWC "Trooper." Now go get me a beer and a ham sandwich, hangaround! ;)

48 rounds of .41 Magnum. MBC 215-grain LSWCs with 15.3 grains of 2400. Avert your eyes if you're one of those who can't stand anything but a full ammo box. I think I may forego loading separate "target" and "hunting" ammo for this gun. The load that shot best with Unique is less than 100...

Loaded some really light .357 Magnum rounds with Acme 158-grain SWCs and Universal, a dozen each at 4.0, 4.3 and 4.6 grains of powder. Just curious to see how they'll shoot in my Model 19. Also wet tumbled some 9mm brass. Normally I use the Lyman 600 buzz bin for pistol brass, but these were...

I ordered 500 of their 215-grain Troopers for my Model 57 in mid-February. Don't remember them taking an inordinate amount of time to arrive.

I have found the Redding Competition die set very useful for finding the right amount of shoulder bump and then replicating it consistently.

I full-length size, moving the shoulder back 0.002". Just started annealing, which should extend case life. I have a Lee collet neck sizer for my .243 but haven't ever used it.

I was thinking you basically described a gallery gun, but @hoardingthemanual beat me to it. A former boss of mine told me he and his college roommate used to pull the bullets from .22 shells, pour out half the powder, then push the mouth of the brass into a wax candle to make a bullet. They'd...

That's some scary stuff, there. I've used brake cleaner for a while because it cleans so quickly and thoroughly, but always outside, always with gloves and never near any source of heat. Might just switch to something else, though.

According to my Chrony F1, average muzzle velocity was 1114 fps, with an ES of 77 and SD of 32. Book data says I should be able to wring some additional velocity out of it; Lyman #48 says 16.2 grains is max with an MV of 1300+ fps, and the Lyman Cast Bullet Manual 3rd edition indicates I could...
