    158 SWC with SR4756 in 357 Mag Load Suggestions?

    Based on my experience with the .38 Special 158 grain LSWC loads using 4756 in Speer #8, I would start 20% below the minimum load and work carefully up. I started 10% below the listed minimum and never made it to the minimum load below I got pierced and flattened primers. I would suggest...

    9mm lead loads

    My 2 cents is that you give the barrel a good cleaning to remove as much copper fouling as you can to reduce leading. Any copper residue will contribute to leading.

    Good Bullseye load for a wadcutter gun

    200 grain SWC and 3.6 grains of Bullseye is what I use in my Les Baer wadgun. Shoots 1" groups at 25 yards from a rest with no problems.

    When does a C&R become economically worthwhile?

    First time you don't have to pay an FFL to do a transfer for you. Of course, it has to be a C&R eligible gun...

    difficulty with the ladder test

    I've shot two ladder test for my CZ 527 in .223 at 100 yards. Both times I was able to identify the "sweet spots". But, take your time and allow time for the barrel to cool. Make sure you fire some fouling rounds first before you start the ladder. As a previous poster said, make sure you're...

    CZ 527 opinions

    I have one in .223 with a 1-12 twist. Shoots great and the set trigger is great.

    Bevel vs. flat Base bullets?

    I prefer plain base since I don't have to wipe off the little bit of lube that gathers in the bevel when I run them through the sizer. I think most commercial casters make them because it's faster on their machines.

    45 Colt - .452 or .454???

    I shoot a .454 out of my USFA Pre-War and a S&W Model 25 (late year model) with great results.

    stonewall bullets

    I've ordered 9mm in both 125gr and 147gr, .45 in 215gr and 250gr, and .45 ACP in 200gr SWC. All have been extremely accurate in my normal 750-950 fps range. I've been extremely pleased with his bullets. He tumbles them with Alox so that's why they're sticky. They may not be as pretty as the...

    9mm fmj + Bullseye- good marriage or not?

    From Encyclopedia of Bullseye (http://www.bullseyepistol.com/reloads.htm) A Load for the 9mm Service Pistol Here is a 9mm load that David Sams has been using for testing Beretta 92 barrels and his completed guns that has been proven sub 1.5" groups at 50 yds is as follows: * Starline...

    Source for .45 ACP 185 gr. SWC lead bullets?

    Zero Bullets has a swaged bullet that's supposed to be as good as the now out-of-business Star bullets.

    Leading vs. cream of wheat

    So let me make sure I understand this. I use a normal charge of powder, then fill the case with COW, and seat the bullet as I normally do. What I want is a compressed load, correct?

    P225 (not P6) Price Check

    I have an opportunity to buy a Sig P225 (not one of the P6 police trade-ins) with a set of Trijicon night sights and 2 magazines. Gun dates to 1987. Seems in very good shape, though there's some wear on the sharp edges of the slide and some holster wear. I've field stripped it and the rails...

    Light 9mm loads for cast bullets

    I tried 4.3 grains of AA#5 and a 124 grain hard cast bullet in my T-series BHP. Shoots great but won't work the slide, even when I use a 10 lb recoil spring. Another favorite is 3.3 grains of Bullseye. That works well in my Pre-B CZ-75.

    Beat the high cost of cast bullets

    I stumbled across this at another board, but thought I'd pass it along. No connection, just wanted to pass on a great deal to those who shoot cast bullets. By far Robert's the least expensive I've found lately and his bullets are great. Fast (like same day as ordered) flat rate shipping...
