Hmmmm Why Not? Well, I gave my Single Six Convertible to my best buddy a few years ago and have been half tempted to replace it. Never did use the .22 Mag cylinder but for a few times. A ten-shot in stainless might be just the thing. Now that I'm in my 50's, I'd give the (ugh -...

Paid $50 for mine last year I bought a 9mm cylinder for my Blackhawk last year off Gunbroker - and mine was the highest bid. I don't think the demand is as high as for .45 cylinders.

Yep.... 53 here, have revolvers that get shot often and autos that collect dust. I don't have to crawl around for my brass with the wheelguns.

Lewis Lead Remover Boys, you don't need corrosive cleaners or stainless steel. I've been using Lewis Lead Removers for years, and they'll tear the lead right out of your barrels so you can just clean the little bit that's left. And it does it with a bronze screen, so it won't hurt your...

Low Power Loads Dirty I didn't see it mentioned..... remember once you get down to lower power limits, the gas generated doesn't have enough oooomph to seal the brass against the chamber, so you get some sooty burning. You can see this as a longitudinal stripe along the side of the case. Just...

Yep, It'll Work Sure! The RN's not so good an all around bullet shape as a SWC, but hey, if you have a bunch of 'em, and the nominal bullet size is within a thousandth or two of your .357, go for it. The RN does feed better in carbines, too. I've loaded cast 9mm bullets in .38 for my...

Bullet Diameter Oh - don't forget, some of those "commie guns" have a bit of variance in bore diameter, and also, some manufacturers (like T/C and Ruger) have on occasion used .308 bores for their "7.62x39" firearms. Myself, I have a Mauser in 7.62x39 with a .308 bore.......... if you're...

Clark? Clark said: Jeez, :what: did you return the SKS under warranty? :eek: Just kidding. Was it a "real" Russian SKS, or somebody else's copy? Just wondering - I've loaded some heavy bullets for testing, not to high pressures or anything. This is the first I'd heard about SKS being...

Look at www.gunbroker.com I see 45AR every great now and then at gunbroker. I have a handful of .45ACP revolvers, and have to say (having loaded AR also) it's a hoot to have the full moon clips. Dang handy to have one in your pocket when you're in the field. Have it your way, though. Half...

Back to original post No need to slug the barrel (as one guy suggested). As I pointed out before, the 340 is a "post .223" rifle. It's a .224. Forgot to mention, though, the use of the Remington primer is something that a lot of hornet shooters insist on. Seems the Rem primer is fairly...

Nice Work! Hey, great to hear that Alliant's telling us Promo and Red Dot are "grain for grain" compatible. Now, if only they'd sell Promo in smaller containers.... let's see..... 8 pounds, 7000 grains to a pound.... that's a LOT of .380, 9mm, .38 special ammo.... heck, it's a lot of .45...

Surplus Ammo Generally Good Your WWII stuff is probably still good IF it's been stored properly. Since it still shoots, I'd keep shooting it. Corrosive primers are problematic, but I'm still shooting WWII ammo, too, and I rarely have a dud. If you're asking if the stuff gets dangerous from...

Russian Capitalism? Hmmmmmmm :scrutiny: Do you suppose that when the Obamanation hit our reloading supply situation, the Russians figured out how supply and demand work, raised their prices, and started working full tilt (throwing quality control to the wind)? Thinking back to the Cold...

Dirty? LOTS of powders "burn dirty" when loaded at the lower end of the range. If you get what looks like soot running along the side of your brass (broad longitudinal smudge) you might want to bump up your charge (WITHIN published load limits). What's happening there is you're not getting...

It's Not Stupid No, half the fun of reloading is doing your own experimenting. As long as you're not doing something dangerous (what you propose is not) it's not stupid at all. Besides....... if you're saving money AND having fun - what more could you want?

Keep it coming! Hey, great to see some data......... I'd heard what Evan (post 3) had heard - that Promo data for handloading handgun ammo is supposed to be same weight as Red Dot charges. IF that's true, Promo would be fairly handy for us cheapskates......... and ;)I know at least one...

Last Place I'll have to be entirely OUT of primers before I pay Midway to skin me on shipping.

Waiting In Line Okay........ we'll patiently wait in line here to grab that discount...... time to re-order, boys! Dang......... is this guy good to his customers, or what? The only person I know who doesn't like MBC is my mail man............ :p

Hi, Gents! Question for you - I'm an old shooter and reloader, but have no experience with this cartridge..... A friend of mine asked me if the 17HMR would be okay for coyotes called within 100 yards. My initial reaction is that the bullet's not up to it - but my prejuidices on 17 bullets...

RFWobbly? Said: Ummmm.... no, an RPG is a rocket propelled grenade. The Yugo has an integral grenade launcher, but it's for rifle grenades sort of like we used in WWII and Korea.... not for an RPG round. Unless... you're doing something very new and exciting with your Yugo. :what...
