This is a repost of a short peice I did about my Dad's "slip-in" bullet years ago

This is the bullet that his molds cast. He made them in .38/.357 .... .44 Special/.44 Magnum and .45 Colt. Because they are a "heel" bullet a shorter-than-normal cartridge had to be used. In the .38 Special the .38 Long Colt or trim the Special cases. In the .357 a .38 Special case. In the .44 Special we either trimmed the Specials or used .44 Russian cases .. in .44 Magnum the .44 Special case .. in the .45 Colt we trimmed the cases. In the .45 Colt I took all the cases that had developed case-mouth splits and trimmed those about .100" and they worked fine.

Bringing back the joys of reloading , to me, about the fact that there many ways to play around and get in some valuable practice time!! I have not done any reloading exploring for quite some time. Time to reacquaint myself with it.

Thanks for the great information you share !!
