Then I'd call it a good catch. Kudos!

I'm just breaking into turret with powder drop and bullet feed after 30+ years of single stage. There's a lot more going on with progressive. My suggestion would be to pick up an inexpensive Lee single stage (or use the turret in that configuration) and go back to batch loading one step at a...

How many firings on that one?

IMR4227 looks to be nip & tuck on availability at times as well...It's frustrating as hell trying to build/develop a load when you don't know if your preferred components will be around tomorrow...or not for the next five years. The only powders I see consistently in stock are AA and VitaVouri...

Thanks for the reply and suggestions! That's primarily why I'm considering the Berry's 350...they are available in bulk, have a cannelure for a good FCD crimp, and are way cheaper than other semi-jacketed bullets from the major bullet manufacturers. Nothing against cast bullets (I load a ton of...

Thanksgiving?

I have a new rifle that I have yet to fire; a Miroku Winchester 1886 Deluxe high grade chambered in (but of course!) .45-70 Gov't. For background, I currently load .45-70 in smokeless for my Browning 1885 High Wall, and in black powder for my Pedersoli Sharps. The Sharps has decided it likes...

Well, that's one way to get-r-dun in a hurry!

I have those loadbooks for each caliber I load for. Yes, the print quality is lousy and in many cases old, but still relevant and useful.

That's what I do as well. Out of the chamber still smoking and right into the water jug.

Goes without saying, or so I assumed. But I've been wrong before. At least once.

Put oatmeal or Cream Of Wheat in the hopper for your trial. That way if it runs all over the place at least the mice can get what you missed.

Definitely load off the gun. The loading lever is the Achilles heel of the LeMat. Most of the ones I've seen for sale either have it broken or removed. Congrats on a great score!

I learned with 7.5 steps IIRC

I've used the sun trick on car floor mats that have taken a nasty set. Usually works in an hour or two and they get all soft and floppy. If you take it into a shaded area and let it cool down with the weight still in place it should set in that condition as it cools down

Try laying it out in the sun so it can heat up with the edges weighed down.

Nice throwing! I've done the hatchet throwning thing before and I know it ain't easy. Never been worth a hoot with a knife, but then I never had a good throwing knife before. Kudos on a job well done!

You can apply a light coat of Flitz. Not only will it make them look brand new, but it also applies an anti-oxidant that keeps tarnishing at bay for quite a long time.

Once upon a time I would have agreed with the Remington thing. Until I had my '60 Goonerized. Since then all bets are off. I agree with you 100% on the Santa Barbara. They are built like a brick outhouse. If I had any guts, I'd send mine to Mike for Goonerizing as well.

TBH, I have found more 'crooked bullet' error in factory ammo than my own reloads Yeah, the stuff going for $70.00 a box.
