I asked him about this a while back. He will make a special run for you in any hardness you want but you have to take the entire run of them. I do not remember how many he said but I think it would end up being 3-4000 bullets.
My standard loading for my .45 Colt is a 255 gr LRN FP bullet loaded to about 850 fps. Has anyone used this combo for deer hunting? The woods I hunt are pretty overgrown and a long shot is going to be 50 yards and most of my shots are under 25.
RCBS 3 way trimer. Saves allot of time and when trying to de-bur by hand a few hundred rounds, saves on hand cramps.
Have everything organised, what you need at hand. find yourself a routine and stick with it, will help to keep you safe as long as you do not get lazy with it.

I shot a large doe this year using the standard 405 gr fp bullet you buy in bulk for cowboy stuff. It was going about 1500 fps. doe was 40 yards away quartering twards me. Shot though th elung, dropped and didn't go more than a few feet from where I shot her. I ate to withine a 1/2" of the hole...
I wouldn't use FMJ bullets in there. The flat point on the bullet shoudl be wider than the primer if posible to prevent firing the next round in line. As for feeding, my 94 in .45 Colt will feed everything from my 255 gr RNFP to the 360 gr WFN loads. Only thing mine wount feed is CCI shot rounds...
I just make it a matter of habbit, if something isn't right it takes me just a minute to make sure everything is tight and right. never know when a small problem could be exagerated by other things (different pressure wave possibly).
But maybe your rifle just don't like that powder.:eek:
If the barrel isn't hot then check your action screws. loose or screws tightened unevenly can cause this as well. make sure both are tightened to as close to the same as possible.
If you start using any heavy loads be sure to work up with each type of brass. I have noticed a big difference with different combos.
With .45 Colt I will trim only for heavy loads where a wierd crimp could cause problems if it is sever enough. With the brass the way you describe it I would...
you don't need to send a copy of the ffl to a non-licencee, you just need the number. verify the number and shipping address on gunbroker or the atf website.
find a price you like, email them. agree on price and shipping. find a FFL dealer in your area that will accept the firearm and process the paperwork and background checks. Send payment and ffl number to seller. seller ships to your ffl dealer who completes the transfer, paperwork, and federal...
7.35mm Carcano. I lucked into a bunch of bullets made way back when for a reasonable price, then had to wait a few more years till I could find cases I could form to 7.35 that I could afford (norma stuff is just too high for this rifle).
I tried a lee crimp die with my .223 varmint loads. didn't see any changes either way so I stopped using it. plenty of neck tention on them to hold them in the case even when running them through the AR.
I crimp my .30-30 loads and use a slight one with my .45-70 loads (just a touch more...
I have one of those 4" alloy Springfields. Never had any feed troubles with it, single recoil spring. Conceals great with an IWB holster. I get better accuracy out of it than with my full sized, although the alloy frame does get to me after a few mags and the groups start to open up.
Need to start loading up for a Browning 1885 in .45-70. Mostly Cowboy type loading, woun't be used for hunting anything bigger than deer black bear.
Would like to use a 405 gr. lead bullet, I have a few powders sitign around I would like to use up if anyone has and data to help me out. I...
