    Coated bullets and revolvers

    I shoot the commercial coated bullets in 2 calibers in my revolvers. I load light to moderate loads of medium and fast powders and light taper crimp. I have had no problems and the bullets do not creep. And I only use jacketed bullets with a roll crimp in my full house loads.

    Lubricant for carbide dies?

    I lube about every 5th to 10th case when using carbide dies. I use RCBS case lube. I do not think the type of lube matters much. Though some are easier to apply than others, I expect.

    What other hobbies occupy your loading bench?

    Everything I do is in my 10 by 22 shop. Woodworking, reloading, household repairs, gun work, I used to build fishing rods. Shotshell reloader (2) are stored on shelves with a cover on them. Use them on my woodworking bench. Metallic press is permanent on a small reloading bench in a corner...

    Conundrum (mixed feels)

    Keep the gun! Try the .44 special. If they are too strong then find a reloader to load you some "bunny breath" loads for it. This is the reason I reload. Grips do make a difference. I would rather my hand hurt than to use the rubber ones though.

    I don't understand Shotgun reloading recipes

    There is no need to "adjust" or "tune" shotgun loads. There is no real way to "read" pressure of a shotgun load. The combination of components does make a real difference in pressure and velocity. Shotgun loads work best in a narrow range of pressure. Shotgun powders are very fast burning...

    Oh-oh….S&W 629 Deluxe Light Primer Strikes!!

    I had that problem with an older 686 that I did not know the history of. Mine would not fire on slow fire DA. I put in a Wolff "Law Enforcement" mainspring. It certainly fixed the light strike issue. Now after a few years getting older and weaker and knowing that I will never use that gun for...

    Keep .280 Rem or sell for something else?

    Ye, I am not familiar with that type of hunting. Yes, even though I like my .280 if I was building or buying a lightweight rifle it would certainly be for a shorter cartridge. My hunting has always involved limited walking in fairly easy terrain and still hunting. Heavy rifle, no real...

    Keep .280 Rem or sell for something else?

    I have not seen anything here that makes me want to sell my model 70 in .280. But then I am a sorta caliber does not matter much guy, Nor really the action length. A well placed hit is the important thing. Mine is a featherweight and the group opens up quickly after 3 shots. But...it...

    What's your favorite powder for 30-06?

    4350 for me. Have to admit that I have never tried 4064.

    A visit to a gun store in the Czech Republic.

    Good beer. Good ice cream. Friendly people. The touristy part of Prague is beautiful indeed. So is the drive into Austria.

    I dropped my press..

    Look it over carefully. I do not see how it could possibly be damaged. If it is please show us a picture.

    Scope vs Red Dot vs Iron Sights - Expected Accuracy

    I certainly get smaller groups on my two high power rifles with a scope than with red dot or iron sights.

    Wadcutters in 357 Mag Brass

    I know Hodgdon lists magnum primers for all their .357 loads. That does not keep me from using standard primers with light loads if I feel they will work better. I have come to prefer to shoot 125 plated bullets instead of wad cutters. I am not able to capitalize on cutting edge accuracy...

    Where do you sell reloading components/tools that you no longer use?

    Selling on the classified section of this forum has worked fine for me. Just hang in there until you get the required number of posts.

    Hodgdon Universal for mid-range 357 magnum loads

    Universal works fine for me at all the Hodgdon recommended loads. Just quit worrying about the sooty cases and shoot what velocity you like to shoot. Run the tumbler until the black comes off.
