Re: Reloading Setups

Reloading should be all about relaxing and enjoying the time spent ! Thoughts of saving money are there but not so much as it used to be. It is my hobby and I do what I can, how ever I want and when I want to safely to enjoy it!

When I do shoot it, seldom, it is with a 300 grgc at about 1500 fps. I just ain't as tough as I once was! AND no so much back t...

Most of my 44 shooting is with a LBT 300 gr LFN GC that I cast. Looks identical to those when loaded. Velocity is around 750 fps. Maybe I need to bump them up a little. Been using 5.5 gr of WST for the charge.
