My and most gun safes is/are UL Fire rated. Mine happens to be rated to 2 hrs at 1400 degrees. Just like anything, you get what you pay for. How much burglary protection do you want? That all depends on how heavy gauge the steel on the cabinet is. You can get the relatively cheap models...

I have several of each of the three winners on their way to my house now. I've been using weapon shield for lubing my 1911s and regular wd-40 for my tablesaw and other woodworking tools. As well as my hornady LNL AP press dies and shell plate. Thanks!

I'm betting your buddy had his gun into the gunsmith for a trigger job.

For my lead .45 swc bullets I use the Hornady collet puller and it works great. I think the collet I use is a .358 collet but I'm not sure. The bullets are damaged but I just re-melt them and start over. I have and hate my kinetic puller. It's messy...some powder always flies out when the...

I've never tried it. And I got rid of a 50 lb bag of walnut shell because of the dust. Are you saying the mineral spirits will fix the walnut dust issue?

Wow! Awesome data. Thank you

Thanks. My bullets are 200gr lswc from a mihec mold.

Thanks. I'll start at 4gr

I am switching from red dot powder to bullseye powder. I currently load my 45 200 grain semi wadcutter with 4 grains of red dot. I like that load. I would like to get similar velocities with the bullseye. So, how much do I use?

I've had great results with my 185gr lswc 18bhn friendswood bullets so I figured the same charge is a good starting point.

Why start at the muzzle?

So I shot a round of 100 230gr softball at 4.8gr of red dot and still got a small amount of leading. I may try 5.0 grains next time. On another note, I received my order of 2,000 Missouri bullets 185gr .45 button bullets today. I already loaded up 100 of them at 4.5 gr to test next week.

I just ordered 1,500 of the "button" bullets. Cant wait to try them out.
