I'm with you. The .44 magnum is definitely at the top of my recoil limit. A few cylinders of full throttle loads, and I always end up finishing the day shooting .44 specials. lol Of course my .44 mag has a 4 5/8" barrel and a plowhandle grip frame so it doesn't really do a good job of handling...

Nah, it's not dying. It's not a fair comparison comparing big bore revolvers to polymer autos. It's a completely different market. Sure some people have .44s to go to the range and have fun with them, and that's fine. But many people get them to hunt with. No one is looking for a hunting...

Funny you mention that. I've always been an IMR4350 fanboy, but now on the rare occasions you can find it, it's $75 a pound. So I picked up some VV540 the other day. It burns a little faster than the 4350 but I think I've got a load that will work in both the .30-06 and the .243 Win. Who would...

I've not used a brass mold before. I've heard nothing but great things about them.

Been going to the range a lot lately, so over the last few days I've loaded 100 rounds of .44 Special, 100 rounds of .44 magnum, and 250 rounds of .357 magnum. That'll get me through about a month.

Never done it any other way than doing it myself. Don't have any special tools either. I get the eye relief right for me, and get it as straight as possible by eyeballing it. It's worked for a few decades now.

Not really. I have things I like from different manufacturers. RCBS, LEE, Hornady, Lyman, Dillon. I own stuff from them all. I prefer Lee pistol dies. With rifle dies, I don't care. I have RCBS, Lee, and Hornady and they all do what I need them to. I like Lee case trimmers. They're simple...

And I have taken advantage of that fact on multiple occasions. I've harped on fingerprint analysis not being done on different items of evidence until I was blue in the face, knowing full well that things are very rarely fingerprinted. But the jury in front of me watches CSI or Law and Order...

Good to hear. I have an older RL550 that I bought used. I picked it up fairly cheap (compared to buying one new anyway), and it isn't complete. I have a powder measure, but not all the parts that goes with the unit. I think I'm going to use it like a BL550, and just hand drop the powder...

I've been bitten before, but not that bad. I don't think I've ever drawn blood. That'll make you say words a good southern preacher's kid ought not to say.

I won't speak directly to your situation, but the first part of your statement is accurate. We see television shows where officers arrest someone and read them their rights while cuffing them. Maybe that happens sometimes, but not generally. The way it works here in a normal situation is that...

Maybe in some jurisdictions, certainly not all. Here, the judge asks them if they're employed and if so what their monthly income is. They have a chart they go by and I've seen some people qualify that had me shaking my head. Nothing is ever mentioned about assets they can sell off to hire...

Either that, or get a mold to cast plain based bullets. The most important thing to avoid leading is a proper fit. The base of the bullet must fit properly, or you get gas cutting, where the gases escape around the base of the bullet and cause leading. With a bullet made for a gas check, there...

Hawg, I've recently gotten 2 traditional style muzzleloaders and can't wait to take one of them hunting. I'm about to start working up a load with an Ardessa .58 caliber rifle. Got a mold to cast round balls and some patches, along with a pound of 2f Schuetzen.

The gun is a CVA Optima Elite from about 2007 or 2008. I wanted a T/C Encore but couldn't afford one. This one has the capability of interchangeable barrels, but as luck would have it they discontinued it and barrels aren't being made anymore. The scope is a cheap T/C muzzleloader scope I got...

This deer was shot with the CVA pictured at 170+ yards. They can look down on whatever they want. I care not.

Several years ago I was looking for a revolver for the wife, and didn't have a very large budget at the time. We got a Taurus 82 police trade in for $199 and it's been good. From 10 yards and under, it's plenty accurate. I had one small problem with it. The little ball that latches the...

That isn't surprising. A big heavy bullet only starting out at only 1,500-1,600 fps isn't going to be a flat shooter. Even .45-70s going substantially faster drops quickly. I think if I can get it dialed in at 100, it will be fine for what I'm doing with it. Shouldn't be much different than a...

I like them like I like my women too. In a wide variety of shapes and sizes. lol To the OP, sorry brother. We are indeed a bunch of enablers. You won't get any help with that here.

Haven't seen that one before.
