I think a distributor got some from Alliant and it just happened to get posted quickest at Brownells. It's making it way around the various online sellers now. Even a lot of the 4# cannisters which to me is a more ideal / tolerable (cost wise) size.

If you're looking for 2400, it's on sale at Ballistic Products at the moment for about $48/lb. Link below ...

Just FYI, Brownells has Unique at the moment in 1lb and 4lb cannisters for $49 and $182. I'm sure it will show up at other online retailers at some point.

Clicked another year huh. Did you make it to the gun show in Deland this weekend?

I've had it happen as well. Irritating.

Rimfire McNutjob

Boy that rim on those original cartridges is barely there. I'm not sure of the history on 45 Colt but I'm wondering why they went with such a small rim. It must have been to fit into some existing circle they had to work with.

I remember the transition. I'm not levering as much as I used to. I had long periods of low gun activity because I had little kids that absorbed a bunch of my time. I'm getting back into reloading now. Going to be too hot to go out and shoot down here soon. Might be a while before I hit the outdoor ...

It's been years. I need to get out to that range on SR44 and sign up for a membership and do more shooting of everything.

I am in the same boat. I was cleaning up my reloading area, recently, and found a new set of 348 dies, and probably 300 new pieces of brass, bullets too, I think. And I haven't owned a 348 in 6 or 7 years at least. I guess I need to put them in the classifieds, because I have more guns to shoot and...

Rimfire McNutjob

Nice. I've still got two cases left plus 6 boxes I think ... and a couple hundred brass. I need to order some of those LBT 348 bullets from MBW now that they are back in action.

The lowest I've seen lately for SPP are White River for $35 per thousand over at Republic Ammunition.

It appears that it's back to full speed and functionality again. Thanks to the mods.

Too much color for an Indigo. I ran into one just the other day ... fast and fat they are. That snake seems to be missing a critical part ... the head.

Those full 1876's are huge. They even make that 1886 look small. Nice set.

Are you using the .452 300 grain XTP or the newer XTP Mag? I didn't realize there are two of those things. The Mag is apparently designed for higher velocities. I'll assume the normal one and make a run. Let me know if you've actually got the "Mag" version. Not sure how they differ but the...

The only Speer bullet I see that's .452 and 300 grains is the Gold Dot HP. If they used a JFP, the bullet would be shorter to maintain 300 grains and thus would leave more room in the case. Using this Speer GDHP #3974 ... The database shows a water capacity of 46.8 grains for that case and a case le...

Last fired mine in the late 1990's. Still have a big ammo can of M855 sitting in my closet along with some Hirtenberger SS109 in battle packs. I guess I should get out and burn that stuff up.

I know 38-55 brass isn't exactly falling from the sky these days, but I'd think he might do well to turn a thousandth from first 1/2" of the inside. Then his problems chambering larger (sized to bore) bullets would abate. Nobody likes reaming brass though. His issue stems from the thickness of ...

The 80's was just like the 70's but with better marketing. Quality was last on the list.

Did this end up with the Shoyen barrel or did you use the 32-40 barrel you had? Nice looking setup ... once all the work was put into it.

My rifle bothers me from the bench ... I have to wear a pad. But it's perfectly tolerable to fire from the shoulder while standing. It's 450 Alaskan ... so in that heavy hitter zone.

Cool to see an old thread with Mike D. in it. He had some serious 86 knowledge.

I look forward to hearing about it. I assume the Pic rail is just held on with screws for times you want a more traditional look. I like it for an easy Red Dot mount.

Rimfire McNutjob

When I heard Pic Rail I figured I would see a black plastic stock. Shocked to see wood. Frankly, it looks really nice to me. If it will take Tier 2 or 3 loads in the 45 Colt, I'd be tempted to grab one.
