My last Python and Anaconda (both bought in the 80's) had test brass included......

I just received a new, in the factory box. 3" Python. I was surprised that there was no test fired case in the package. No biggie but I thought all new Colt's were test fired and shipped with the test case. Did they change doing this?

Brownells has LT30....never used it...

Follow up............ I finally tested both Tula primers, the "std and the 556 M". 223 and 556 mixed head stamp cases, 27.0 grs of W748, 55gr FMJ pulled bullets. Nice sunny day temps in the 60's. No chrono. All went well and everything went BANG. No noticeable difference at all.

these are for plinkin but I'm a bit leary of chambering issues

ordering right now

can you use case lube - Hornandy spray on jacked bullets?

that's the next step....for what I'm testing (primers) I just need them to chamber, go bang and eject

A few years ago I bought a couple of thousand 223 "pulldown" bullets. Too long ago to remember where I got them. Today I decided to test a new load. Did all of the brass prep, priming etc. and all looked good. Checked the brass in the Lyman case gauge and all was fine. Loaded the bullets...

your barrel might not like the heavier bullet

barrel twist? 1:7 or 1:9?????

I have never heard of 556 mag...........nor seen it mentioned in any reloading manuals Any idea what those primers would be used in?

I am lucky enough to receive 2 cases of small rifle primers, both Tula. One case is SRMag and the other is SR. Please look at the note with the primers. It claims to use the SR with extruded powder only and not "full "loads". these will be used for AR 55 abd 62 gr loads Does this seem correct?

my opinion.... only if your life or the life of your family is in jeopardy AND you have the "opening" to draw and shot, do it by all means.

Where do you buy Zero bullets from?
