Did you link the right video? It's talking about Iodine ... not Vitamin D.

I think those are 8lb jugs, 4lbs must have been a typo. Still ... Hodgdon is starting to get "Alliant" fever apparently. My local guy has both H4198 and IMR 4198 for $52 and $56/lb respectively ... no Haz or shipping. He's got an 8lb H4198 on the shelf but I didn't take the time to look at...

Holy cow, it that Swiss that costs that much or did you order 20#'s of the stuff? How long will that last?

The forum has been really responsive the last couple of times I have visited. Good to be past the issues. I hope to visit more often now. It was getting frustrating for a while.

I've recently retired (3 months) and have spent the last 15 months or so gathering up stuff for reloading in my now voluminous spare time. I like to tinker with stuff and use QuickLoad often when there's no book data. I've gathered up most of the powder and primers that I'll ever need ... which has ...

I've read nearly everything up there but haven't been through it in some time. I will occasionally refer back to something that I know is up there. Is any new material being added?

Rimfire McNutjob

Interesting dished bolt. Beautiful gun. Thanks for the thread.

Rimfire McNutjob

I'd love one in 22 Hornet, 204 Ruger, or 221 Fireball. I keep watching them up on GB but they all seem to go over $1000.

Rimfire McNutjob

It's there, just not on sale ... about a $1 a pop.

I'd have liked the video better without the helmet. Then natural selection would have come into play.

He was definitely going to lose a chunk of meat from his skull without that helmet.

Trail Boss is in stock on the website for Sportsman's Warehouse for $42.99/jar. If you order it there, it ships to your nearest store for free with no Hazmat charge as well. After all is said and done, I think it's going to be cheaper than the normal online sites for reloading supplies.

I got some TB for $36 per 9oz the other day at Natchez. Unique and 2400 also dropped at a bunch of retailers the week before TB showed up. There are a few sites that still have Unique and 2400 in stock. I think the days of the 5lb IMR container for TB are gone. It looks like just the 9oz and 2lb fro...

I recently retired as well. I'm building up my powder stock to get back to reloading. I'm thinking about joining that range off of SR 44 in Volusia so that I can shoot any day of the week. Seems pricey though.

These are right in the middle of the range in the HiVel #2 booklet for 33 WCF with a 200 grain FMP bullet ... 33.5 (2000fps) to 43.2gr (2445fps).

That's an amazing find by Drawdown and 450 Fuller.

Rimfire McNutjob

Years. I've got my presses set back up now on an Inline Fabrication mount. I'm going to load some up this Fall and go out to that range off of Hwy 44 in Volusia. I got one of those new Caldwell Velocitor chronographs to try out.

Rimfire McNutjob

Once you find the load card, you'd then have to find the powder. I saw an unopened can of HiVel No.2 up on GB the other day for $50. You might should start gobbling some of those up.

I love me some takedown short rifle with a heavy barrel. There's just something about how they swing onto the target.

Went into the grocery store the other day and grabbed a pack of Johnsonville Hatch Chile Breakfast Links. I can get that wonderful smell and taste and not have to travel past the Publix down the street. I must admit, I do miss the dry heat out West ... at least your sweat evaporates. Down here in Fl...

Yeah, I got my "Your item has shipped" email back on 8/4. Then they picked it up in New Mexico and let me know I'd have it from 8/7 to 8/11. Then it went to Chicago, and Chicago, and Chicago. Now I'm getting an email that it's going to be late. I'm in Florida. Of course it's going to be la...

Ok, so I guess Hornady is producing 348 interlocks again? Hopefully they will make them available as reloading components also They made a run of 348 FTX recently (loaded ammo), which is mostly what's available. I've not seen the component bullets for FTX or the Interlocks in some time. There's occ...

Might be time to contact Pillher ... or Ms. Piller. If the PM's are setup to send her an email as well.

Anyway, I've been told that this vintage of Winchesters used metal that may not be weldable, truth or myth? I think some of the receivers of this era were sintered and then iron plated to take the finish. Maybe that's what you're referring to. I might be wrong. There are plenty of 1894 people here ...

Is this site actually under a DDOS attack? THR was experiencing one this past week and put CluoudFlare in front of the site to solve the problem. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that many gun boards are under this type of attack from some unknown person or organization. The problems with this site ...

Rimfire McNutjob

Wow. Depressing.

Rimfire McNutjob

That's a really good match. I can't imagine how you can get that close. It's just so hard to tell until the finish goes on.

Rimfire McNutjob

Interesting. I've seen the Cutting Edge stuff but not the one you mentioned. Though the logo looks familiar. Maybe from Powder Valley.

Rimfire McNutjob

How are you re-priming the rimfire cases?

Rimfire McNutjob

Bill, this is what I did to make QL match the physical PressureTrace II test results. Technically I upped the pressure to 11,000 psi for a MAX load. QuickLoad 44-40 BaseLine.png You haven't put your bullet in properly. You're missing the shot start pressure. It's in BAR in the text file that is the...

Rimfire McNutjob

Yeah, I think I wouldn't go much over 38Kpsi with that one. Nice pre-Great War Remington.

Rimfire McNutjob

That 2573 BAR is 37,318 psi. There's no direct conversion as the copper crusher method isn't linear across a wide range.

Happy birthday. I appear to be 4 minutes past due and into the 27th.

That's pretty nice for $399. A very complete package. Good video.

Rimfire McNutjob

GunBroker perhaps. Or put them in the classifieds here. There are probably more 348 shooters here than are browsing on GB. I didn't realize Speer made a 220 at one point. I assume the 150's are the Winchester "Silver Tips". The closest thing I currently have is the Cutting Edge 157's but I...

I made the mistake of going to take a look up on GB. Man, the 38 Super has got to be the most pimped out pistol of all time. There's just a ton of them up there, many factory builds.

Rimfire McNutjob

Didn't Caspian make a double stack 38 Super frame with 19 round mags back in the 90's? That 19+1 in Super seems like a lot of firepower.

Rimfire McNutjob

These two happen to be in-stock over at Bruno Shooters at the moment ... in the 8lb cannisters. Not sure how long that will last.

Rimfire McNutjob

I think Smith & Wesson actually had a dedicated target revolver chambered in 38 Super at some point. I think it's now in 9mm ... with the 38 Super chambering retired. I can't remember the model number.

Rimfire McNutjob

The original guns headspaced on the very minimal rim while the newer guns, since the mid-80's maybe, headspace on the case mouth. That's probably the issue you remember. The best powder for full power 38 Super is/was VV N105. It's a solid 'is' for me as I'm sitting on about 9lbs still. But it is no ...

Was that an old John Kort post? He took a ton of knowledge with him when he passed.

If this were really Blaine, there would have been a pun dropped on us. I am skeptical.

Their site is still there, they just don't sell or ship anything that I know of. I think the owner was trying to sell it so that it continued on but I'm not sure that's worked out so far.

Just fighting back against the governments unlawful digitization and indexing of form 4473's over the last decade or two. They keep an unlawful registry ... we lose stuff all the time.

I've fired both Winchester and CCI 22 WRF in my Smith & Wesson 648 without issues. Seems to work fine and I can tell you that WRF is quite a bit less booming than WMR in these revolvers.
