I started reloading with 44 Mag in the 80s (shows my age :)). I now reload 38Spl, 45 ACP, 357Mag, 10mm, 45 Colt, 454 Casull, 460 S&W and 500 S&W. And some rifle cartridges. So, new to me: 41 Magnum. I went about this in a "backwards" kinda way bought brass before the firearm. Ordered some cases...

I have had a pound or two of the above powders for a few years and decided to try them in 45ACP. My "standard" powders are Power Pistol and Unique. I loaded up ~750fps loads, based on Hornady's 11th edition Titegroup: 4.5 grains W231: 5.3 grains Bullet: Hornady 230gr FMJ-RN Brass: Mixed, loaded...

My Berry's plated 230 gr stock is running low. I am looking to try some FMJs. I see RMR has some in stock. anyone tried these? Thoughts? Does THR have a coupon code? What other FMJs are out there that you like? Thanks

I have been having issues with split 45 Colt cases for a few years now. Search this forum for "45 split" titles only, and you will find my last thread on it. I can't believe I posted that 5 1/2 years ago :( I have lived with some splits since then and I figured it was a loose chamber in my Rossi...

I have always been intrigued by the 10mm. I have a few 40S&W handguns, a few 45ACP but no 10mm yet. Any suggestions/recommendations? Will not carry it, will not be my go-to for HD. Just want to enjoy shooting it and reloading a new(to me) cartridge. Mag capacity not a huge concern. I have...

Strange thing today, I fired 30 rounds thru my S&W 500 8&3/8" - First 5 - all single action - no issue Second 5 - 1st round SA, fine , 2nd DA - light primer hit (failure to fire), I check wait a few seconds, check the chamber (see pic, top case) -subsequent DA pulls fire fine. Next 5 (11-15) -...

I have yet to start reloading 500S&W. I have reloaded 44Mag, 454Casull, 460S&W, 50 AE and others for many years. I was at the range on Saturday morning, my second range trip with the 500. I loaded up 5 Federal Fusion 325gr rounds and proceeded to bang some steel. These are considered relatively...

I will be picking up a new Ruger New Model Blackhawk 5.5" in the next day or so. I reload 45 Colt already for my Rossi M92 - and, for very seldom use, Super Redhawk 454 Casull and S&W 460 XVR. Suggestions for a load? Got lots of brass and Unique on hand. And a bunch of 250/255gr lead...

SA revolver. Thoughts on it? Keen to try a SA - never have, but I do shoot most of my DAs in a SA way. I have a few Ruger DAs - SRH 44 Mag, GP100 357 Mag & SRH Alaskan 454 Casull. I also have a S&W 460 XVR 8.38" and, a Rossi M92 lever action in 45 Colt. I don't like to shoot 45/454 in the 460...

Is anyone using plated bullets for their 50AE DE? Berry's, Rainier - others? Jacketed stuff is big $$$ (about 75c each), plated a lot more reasonable (~20c each). What muzzle velocities are you achieving? Happy with accuracy? Any issues with the DE gas system? Open to 44Mag input too, I...

I have some relatively new 45 Colt cases that have split. Loaded 3 times. 8.0gr of Unqiue behined a 255gr lead SWC. Fired from a 16" Rossi 92. These 2 examples are Winchester cases, I have had one or two Remington's do the same thing. Are these cases only good for a few loads? Any ideas...

Tried searching no definitive answer. I have a Redding Big Boss II - use it for all my reloading (357 Mag, 44 Mag, 45 Colt, 454 Casull, 460 S&W Mag and .308). I am looking to step up to 338 Lapua - anyone doing this with the Big Boss II? Seems a bit tight to me. Alternatives? Redding...

I posted this in the revolver forum - but here maybe more appropriate. (Mod's feel free to delete one). Any folks got any first hand experience with either a Burris Posi-Lock 2x-7x or Leupold VX-III 2.5x-8x scope on a S&W X-frame (460 or 500)? Which is likely to hold up better? Whose...

Any folks got any first hand experience with either a Burris Posi-Lock 2x-7x or Leupold VX-III 2.5x-8x scope on a S&W X-frame (460 or 500)? Which is likely to hold up better? Whose warranty service is better? I plan to mount it on Jack Weigand's base and rings (4) on my 460 XVR 8&3/8...
