    Powders for warm 45 Colt loads

    Morning all. I’m following this because I got a RBH in 45 colt and have not loaded nor fired it yet. I did pin gauge the cyl and it’s .454, I have not checked the throat or bbl yet. I will cast for this and will not load hot or my arthritis will keep me from shooting it again. So Joe, no one...

    Lead Bullets

    I don’t Cast hard bullets for my 44 but I don’t load max either. Tumble lube is fine. I also agree with the posts above. Your GTG ! Mike

    Just broke two de-capping pins!!!! ARRRGGGG!!!!

    Ive had bent pin before and found if I keep an extra deprimmed case in with my die set, I screw the decap die in with the ram up and the deprimed case in shell holder so the pin is in the hole and centers the die, then tighten the lock nut. Depending on your press, there might be a little play...

    New, Old Stock RP Brass - Long Term Storage Reaction?

    If it makes you feel better clean them and it makes it easier to find in the grass at the range. After you size them and possibly trim them you might give them a quick tumble anyways. Safe shooting, Mike

    Cast 45-70 help

    Slug your barrel and make sure you use a bullet at least .001-.002 dia larger AND a softer bullet lead. Also if what you had worked ok, check a few bullet diameters out of the box and then PULL a few that you loaded and crimped. It’s possible that your bullets are on the edge of being slightly...

    Assumption of risk for shipping...

    Sorry, had to find out why the txt box didn’t come up to type this reply. Couldn’t clear my blank reply either. Ok, I see most ship postal flat rate and ASK if they want extra insurance it will cost extra. I do the same. Collecting from a lost shipment from the postal service I have heard is...

    selling tools.

    If you reload fer them you will find yourself shooting more because it's much less expensive. I started with used die sets purchased on the forums like this one so I could save money. The prices of used dies may have gone up $5 for same but the presses have gone up little more than that since I...

    Business Formal Carry

    I agree with sergei, if the job interview is important, leave it in your vehicle. If the place is that rough then I'd look for other employment. I brief case or "man bag" might work in an office setting. Good luck with the interview, hope all works out fer you. Mike

    Wax bullets for practice

    Prof, I would guess you live in an area where it's ok to discharge a firearm ? I had a busy body neighbor ask me what I was shooting inside my house as they heard the gunfire through open window ( lots ventilation ), I told them I was using a Hilti gun to put studs on the basement wall. Yes it...

    Interesting study on gun buy backs.

    A good friend of mine worked at one of the buy back programs. He said there were a handful of guys with cash buying guns from people in the line of cars waiting to get in. His observation at this place was many older folks over 65-70 who had firearms they didn't know what to do with. Some had...

    Wheel weight purchase agreement!!!

    Most of the name brand tire shops around here tell me they got to turn in the lead to the battery guy they contract with. Another told me it was against store policy to sell or give away the lead. Small mon n pop shops are your best bet if your pizza looks better than the dirty ww's. A truck...
