Folks, I'm trying to generate interest in a group buy for a .38/200 bullet mould for Brit and S&W Victory revolvers chambered for .38/200 (.38 S&W). The thread is running over at Cast Boolits. We need fifteen buyers to get the mould produced. If anyone is interested, please post to the...

Howdy, We have a group buy going for a 200 grain SWC mould for the various .358-.360 cartridges over on Cast Boolits for anyone who is interested. Its likely to be closing pretty soon because the mould is scheduled for production in November. Now is the time if anyone is interested...

So, I decided a trip to the range was in order this afternoon, despite the 98 degree heat. With two babies at home, I rarely get to do anything sans children, and at 9 months, its a bit early for them to shoot. Anyway, the wife is out of town, so I asked my mom to come babysit and off I...

Here it is:

I'm not new to handloading at all, and I have a smattering of equipment from various manufacturers that I use for the task. Lee is probably most represented in my tools, but in addition to Lee I have presses from Dillon and RCBS, a lubesizer from Lyman, bullet molds from Lyman, and dies from...

I went to the range with the PD to qualify today. I didn't think much about it at the time, but on the way home I started adding it up in my head. I fired about 450 rounds, only 150 of which were on the PDs dime. I footed the bill for the rest. For the record, it was 100 rounds each of .38...

Folks, If anyone is interested, I'm trying to get a group buy going for a 200 grain SWC mold sized .359-.360 for .38 Special/.357 Magnum/.357 Maximum. I really like the 200 grain bullet weight in both Special and Magnum, but I like the SWC profile better than the RN profile for magnum loads...

I use several Lee Auto Disk measures on my Classic Turret. I recently acquired some 2400 powder to use for heavy .38 Special and .44 Special loads and .357 Magnum. I load .44 on my single stage, but I do .38 and .357 on the LCT. Obviously I'd like to use the Auto Disk on the LCT, but I've...

Obviously the bullets are less available than the old standby, the 158 grain RNL or SWC, but I have recently developed an interest in loading the .38 Special with 200 grain bullets. I'm not sure I have a really good reason other than I just think it would be fun, but then again, that is...

I know, another .45-70 question, seems to be popular this week. Anyway, I have a H&R 1871/NEF Handi-Rifle chambered for .45-70. Mostly its just for fun shooting, so I have been sticking with the lower pressure trapdoor data for handloading. However, I think I might be taking it out hunting...

I know the Lee factory crimp die is popular. I like them myself, others don't care of them, but they do what they are billed to do. However, I think for this price, I'll stick to seating and crimping in the same step. This is more than I paid for my Breech Lock Challenger (new)...

I have a Lee Classic Turret, a Breech Lock Challenger, and a Reloader press. I also have plenty of Lee dies (and with the exception of the lock rings, which I don't like) I've found them to be excellent. The "perfect powder measure" and the Pro Auto Disk have worked well for me, even if the...

A little while back I picked up some Winchester Small Pistol Magnum primers since I couldn't locate and standards. I loaded up some test rounds, half with standard primers and half with magnums, same powder charges, same brass, same bullets. I didn't have any overpressure signs with any of...

I've checked all my manuals and haven't located what I'm looking for. I want to find a lead bullet load (with or without a gas check) using a bullet heavier than 300 grains. There are a number of 320-330 lead bullet offerings, some of the bullets specifically marked for .444 Marlin. However...

That pretty much sums it up. I've heard that the Classic Cast single stage is an excellent press and I have a Classic Turret so I know first hand that its an excellent press. I've never used a Pro 1000 or Loadmaster, but from what I've heard about them calling them finicky would be an...

At the moment this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=130302631363 Lee Whack-A-Mole Classic Loader is bid up to $26.50 with more than three days to go. The same Classic Loader is in stock at Midway for $21.99...

Howdy, OK, given the current situation, I'm going to post this here and see how it goes. I have a brick of Winchester Small Pistol Magnum primers I got in an order from Midway. I could use them, but I know some people are really strapped for primers and I am not. The general consensus is...

I recently purchased a Lee Classic Loader in .38 Special just because I was intrigued by the thing. I thought it might be a nice way to take handloading on the road. I broke it out this afternoon and decided to try to load a few rounds (which felt a little strange sitting on the floor of my...

So, I had a little visit from the Midway primer fairy in his brown uniform a little while ago. I had an e-mail reminder set up for Large Rifle primers for use with my .45-70, and I got an e-mail earlier in the week saying they were in stock. Luckily I happened to be sitting at the computer...

So, I handloaded a bunch of test rounds using various powders and bullets in a number of different cartridges. Results seemed to vary pretty widely, by far the most consistent loads seemed to be with Titegroup and AA#5. Here are some examples: .45ACP, 5.0 grains Titegroup, 200 grain cast...
