Hello all, I've searched but not found much recent data on mid-level load data for .357 mag loads. I'd think the burn rate of Unique would be about perfect for 1000-1100 fps or so with 158g to 173g bullets. Even my Lyman cast Load manual doesn't have any load data? Neither does the Alliant...

I was backing out the tension stem to reload a stick of 50/50 and the stem just unscrewed right out of the top of the reservoir. Thing has to be over 10 yrs old now. Going to call Lyman tomorrow. Think they'll make it right? That little cast ring holding the stem in place seems a might flimsy.

Just purchased a 48" work bench light that states on the instruction to never surface mount? Well my space doesn't really allow room to hang. It there a heat issue with the ballast that may pose an issue? I mounted the light with washers between bench and light so the light isn't sitting on...

Is it me, or does a seemingly crowded tumbler seem to clean faster? I was at Dillon recently looking their gigantic tumbler when the sales guy says "they seem to work better when maxed out with brass". I tend to agree. The thought of straining the motor may be an issue? What do you guys think...

Just picked this one up. . Bore and cylinders are in great shape, lockup is tight, timing is good and bluing and grips are in great shape, considering age. Problem is, it shoots about 3.5 inches to the left at 15 yds with my light wadcutter load. Do I adjust my POA or modify the sights...

Just picked up a VERY clean Smith Model 15-2. Serial # K6962XX. It has the wider Target Hammer Spur and Trigger, I can't find any info on whether or not these were standard production. Can anyone tell me anything more about these? Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Loads were given to me by a buddy who's grandfather recently passed. He was a very experienced handloader and shooter. Some are very clearly labled (charge type, shot weight, wad, and shot #), others are labled with shot weight and shot size only with comments like "TRAP". All are very neatly...

Just cast a PILE of these heavies for use in a Super Blackhawk and a Marlin 1894. I've never loaded anyting this heavy. Any favorites? I can't seem to find anything but H110 and W296 loads, Anyone loading these with 2400, or any other powders? Let me know whats worked (and hasn't) for...

I cast up a good bunch of these, 314 grains checked and lubed. Lee book has max 2400 load at 13.5g and Uni is 7.2g. Anyone ever shoot these published loads from similar platforms? looking for something that'll hit hard to about 100 yds with good accuracy. Just looking for insight as to what...

The only Police response to date has been that they were "justified" as Officer Lilly was fearful for "his" life.

I started casting these recently and they are heavier than stated. Gas Checked and lubed they run 196-197 grains. Not a lot of load data for pills that heavy for use in the 30-30. I'm looking to get 1900-2000 fps from a newer production 20" Win model 94AE. Anyone have any references for W748...

I really like using AA2230 in .223, Anyone have any input/advice on using it for 30-30, 170 grain jacketed loads? It's in the Accurate brand load book, looking for 2000 fps. thanks for any insight.

I just boiught an AR and I picked up 1k Federal 205 Small Rifle primers. Now I'm occasionaly reading that you should avoid them in semi-autos due to their thin cups. BUT I've also read that about WSR primers but TONS of people use those in AR's. So what should I do. These are not the 205...

I'm curios, I've read these are a little big in the nose for use in some .357 mags using .357 mag brass and crimping in the groove. I'm looking for a heavier .357 mag load for a GP-100 and I really like the looks of that Lyman 358429. Let me know and any help is appreciated.

I've just cast a bunch of these for use in .38 sp loads. My standard .357 load is the lyman 358156 (158 gr gas checked SWC) I've been real pleased with that bullet in .38 level loads. Now I'm thinking how it would do out of .357 magnum level loads. I'm just not sure about that slight bevel...

I like the idea of a full WC .38 spl. loads from my .357 mags for general woods plinking. What differences can I expect with regard to POI from my pistols sighted in for full .357 loads? I plan on pushing home cast 148 gr WC's to about 800-850 fps. I'm thinking 4 to 4.5 gr of 231 or maybe a...

I've been doing a little reading on the subject of 'tuning' my 4 5/8" SBH up. I'm thinking a Wolf spring kit, freespooling and adding a Base pin. Have you guys noticed any differnce in accuracy or just less pin jumping?

Sorry for the duplicate post.

I'm currently casting the 358156 Gas checked .358 SWC (dropping at 162 gr) But I like the idea of a heavier, non gas checked Keith design. I'm shooting these from a 4" GP100 and a 6" 686-no dash (my newest toy :) ) I'd like to know how the bullet performs, how fast can you push'em and the...
