Morning all. I’m following this because I got a RBH in 45 colt and have not loaded nor fired it yet. I did pin gauge the cyl and it’s .454, I have not checked the throat or bbl yet. I will cast for this and will not load hot or my arthritis will keep me from shooting it again. So Joe, no one...

I don’t Cast hard bullets for my 44 but I don’t load max either. Tumble lube is fine. I also agree with the posts above. Your GTG ! Mike

Can we ask your results with the replacement bbl. ? Is the accuracy any better or was this a longer bbl ? Looks only ? Reason I ask, I also purchased a lw bbl yeas ago in a 6” glock 10mm and I have never had the chance to try it out do to health issues. I have thought to sell it but your...

Ive had bent pin before and found if I keep an extra deprimmed case in with my die set, I screw the decap die in with the ram up and the deprimed case in shell holder so the pin is in the hole and centers the die, then tighten the lock nut. Depending on your press, there might be a little play...

Over the past 10-15 years I’ve had the pleasure to bring a few new reloaders into the hobby. Today they have all thanked me several times for helping them to learn to reload. One of them is running short on Primers and I will properly help him out because I can. They are appreciative ! Their...

If it makes you feel better clean them and it makes it easier to find in the grass at the range. After you size them and possibly trim them you might give them a quick tumble anyways. Safe shooting, Mike

Slug your barrel and make sure you use a bullet at least .001-.002 dia larger AND a softer bullet lead. Also if what you had worked ok, check a few bullet diameters out of the box and then PULL a few that you loaded and crimped. It’s possible that your bullets are on the edge of being slightly...

Sorry, had to find out why the txt box didn’t come up to type this reply. Couldn’t clear my blank reply either. Ok, I see most ship postal flat rate and ASK if they want extra insurance it will cost extra. I do the same. Collecting from a lost shipment from the postal service I have heard is...

If you reload fer them you will find yourself shooting more because it's much less expensive. I started with used die sets purchased on the forums like this one so I could save money. The prices of used dies may have gone up $5 for same but the presses have gone up little more than that since I...

Ammo cans either steel or plastic which ever is handy at the time. Silica gel pack and load data Lable with the date. I Seperate loads in zip lok bags just In case there is any trouble when firing them, I have that load sessions separated. ( bad batch primers, mistakes ? ) Be safe, Mike

I agree with sergei, if the job interview is important, leave it in your vehicle. If the place is that rough then I'd look for other employment. I brief case or "man bag" might work in an office setting. Good luck with the interview, hope all works out fer you. Mike

Prof, I would guess you live in an area where it's ok to discharge a firearm ? I had a busy body neighbor ask me what I was shooting inside my house as they heard the gunfire through open window ( lots ventilation ), I told them I was using a Hilti gun to put studs on the basement wall. Yes it...

Gottahaveone,,,... How do you travel to NH from SC with a handgun ? I thought several of the comi states you pass through do not allow possision of a handgun whether it's unloaded,lock box separated etc... I may be wrong but NJ even worse does not allow hollow point Ammo and the penaltys are...

A good friend of mine worked at one of the buy back programs. He said there were a handful of guys with cash buying guns from people in the line of cars waiting to get in. His observation at this place was many older folks over 65-70 who had firearms they didn't know what to do with. Some had...

Most of the name brand tire shops around here tell me they got to turn in the lead to the battery guy they contract with. Another told me it was against store policy to sell or give away the lead. Small mon n pop shops are your best bet if your pizza looks better than the dirty ww's. A truck...

I took the cover off my frankford and found the counter weight on the motor shaft was loose. It took me 30 seconds to fix it and 45 mins to find my off set screw driver ! My lyman is smaller but has never given me any trouble. The cyclonic action is way better in the lyman too ! Mike

They might go one size larger screw if it will fit, they can put in a keen-sert[spell], they can also send you a new one and when it returns to your ffl you will pay another $10 fer the backround check on the "New" gun. Tauras did this for me years ago on a 605 that was returned twice for the...

I purchased a 10-3 that was carried in a zippered pouch and has got rusted and pitted from condensation. I stripped it, bead blasted it and gun black finished it. It still has the pit marks but Im not sure how to fill them in without spending alot of money on it. It is a real good shooter and...

Old rule of thumb was to work up a load. If its to light, bump it up. You might want to slug your bbl first, find out what size boolit is best for it. Then buy a bunch of em. I never start at middle. So you load 5 of each starting at low and work up by .2-.3grs till you find a sweet load that...

I found that the time involved and having to baby sit the USC was not worth my time. I too had followed the same info you have from the 6mm br site but used the glass beaker method as described there with only a few cases in the beaker 20-25. When the baking soda cycle was done and did the...
