Re: 'One gun and done...'
There is very little I cannot accomplish (for me) with my Winchester 1892 in 45 colt, with the exception of long range of course. Hunting- check Home/Property Defense- check Plinking- check Saddle Gun- check Long Range- well, I will give it a whirl 🤣 That lines up with my thinking as well. Think ab...

Re: Bear creek supply bullets 25 auto
I found a dead guy in the hallway of an apartment building. He had a tiny hole in the middle of his chest and he had a cigarette before he died as the intact ash was on his chest and chin as his head was propped up by the wall. .25 ACP fired from a Raven pistol at close range. I believe I found the ...

Shoots ok in the carbine 869 fps from the SAA and 1127 fps from the carbine. Have you chamfered the chamber mouth? My '73s or Henry won't feed a semi-wadcutter. I have to "jiggle" the rifle a little to bounce the cartridge around that sharp edge of the bullet. I haven’t done anything to i...

Re: Thinking about a new press
I’ve got a Lyman torrent press that is very similar.
I use it on only rare occasions. Almost everything I load is done on my Dillon 550.
I have a little RCBS press that would take up much less space and I seriously think I may go back to a single stage as little as I use the Lyman.

Re: An old experiment that I need to get back to
The idea is not original to me. I saw an article that Brian wrote right after the Ruger factory.44 Special Blackhawks came out.
He started off shooting 100 rounds of the same load (240 gr XTP and 19 gr of H110) through his test gun before doing accuracy tests.

Re: Colt .357 modifications suggestions
I much prefer fixed sights on a using handgun. If it is set up right you don’t need adjustable sights.
My Wylie Clapp SP101 rear sight had to be glued down as the set screw simply wouldn’t hold it in place.

I’d like to find a set of original wood grip panels for the Speed Six.
The Pachmars are comfortable but too large for a revolver of this size.
I also intend to go back to wood factory grip panels on the Redhawk.

Good question Joe and my answer is probably more speculation than facts. I shoot a lot more cast bullets every year than jacketed.

These bullets are sure easy to load on my Dillon press. They seem to line up on their own and there’s no build up of lube in the dies.
I’m loading up a few hundred to see how they perform at distance with my sixguns and carbines.
