I would be very interested in the answer to this as well. If the officer was violating mall policy, or state law, I would imagine bringing that up would be very embarrassing for those who make the rules.

What happened to the labels on the boxes?

I like the looks better. Cant swear to any functional difference.

I carry a .22 pistol when I squirrel hunt with shotgun. A 2nd 12 gauge blast at close range does not make for a happy meal.

Every box of loaded ammo should have a label showing exactly what is in it. Anything otherwise could be very dangerous.

I use Pyrodex P in .44 cap and ball, and my .50 Hawkin. I got the brilliant idea of loading some 45LC with it after seeing load data in the old Hodgdon #25, which by the way, also has the black powder to Pyrodex conversion chart. (100gr BP = 80gr by weight of Pyrodex) It was fun and nostalgic...

I don't think I share in any misconception unless you took my last post #50 as a serious statement of fact rather than the absurdity with which it was intended. I completely agree with your overview of how the marking works and that boycotting a gun mfg because of what company officer once...

The penetrating capabilities of a standard velocity 45LC are legendary beyond my ability to believe, and some of those who worship this caliber have gone so far as to claim that the exact same bullet fired from a .454 Casull at .454 Casull velocities will actually penetrate less. I remain...

Ill add that I have had great results with Zero brand cold swaged 158gr SWC (.358") from the same gun I had all the leading with Speer bullets in. Unless there was a difference in cold swaged hardness, the only other difference I can point to is the bullet lube was different. I never pursued it...

If the blackened ones are the HP38, I'm also going with light loads, possible primers backing out, and blowby pushing cases back and sticking them there. Warm up your load a little bit and a little tighter crimp should make your case expand and seal better.

Unless they were stored in a bucket of water, they are fine. For that matter, even if they were stored in a bucket of water they are probably fine.

I'll bet that's what killed him.

I've been to several other gun shows in Ohio from the very same promoter. (Medina, Summit) Nothing complicated. They will check it at the door, and put a zip tie in it. Carry it around inside, and if someone is interested they will ask "are you selling that?" You often see guys with a flag...

My very first handloads were Speer cold swaged, 158gr SWCHP over 3.8 Bullseye and 4.0gr Bullseye for a 6" Security Six and they leaded like crazy at @800fps and accuracy was extremely poor. I know that doesn't answer your question, but I'll be curious as to your results.

I get my highest 9mm pistol velocities with Blue Dot and cast bullets, and Id expect the same for a carbine.

Somebody once characterized H4895 as "the rifle version of Unique", and I've found that to be a good description.

I think you'll get a better response if you include your location, and how far you are willing to travel.

A saboted .45 240gr XTP-MAG with 100gr Pyrodex from my .50 Hawkin is very similar in velocity to the same bullet fired from 7 1/2 Freedom Arms .454 Casull. ....and yes, some pistol loads DO result in a bang-flop most of the time. :D
