How does that work? How have I not heard about a magnification ban?Mounted a 1x scope (Utah banned any with magnification) , installed a cheek riser.

Muzzleloader season.Banned magnification.....For black powder, or all rifles???
Sadly that seems to be a common story with wheelweights!Sorted what is probably my last ever bucket of wheel weights. The local place closed up, much to my dismay.
I had spent a good deal of time cultivating a relationship with them - even making trotline weights out of zinc wheel weights for them, so they wouldn't complain about missing the lead.
The end of an era. Dam shame.
Also tumbled some 38 Spl brass, and neck-sized 69 pieces of 7.62x54r.
Tom makes a good looking mold! I have a few. I mount mine on the handles with the sprue cutter swinging away from me. Kind of opposite of your picture.View attachment 1194380
Went down to the barn and fired up the pot.
Made a bit over 15 pounds of projectiles for the Finn M39(s). If my math is correct - not a given - that should be about 575 pieces.
I still need to size and check these, also sort and lube.
Think I'll be ready in less than 3 weeks?

Pics followLoaded some .22TCM with TCM powder (9.7gr). Max is listed at 9.6gr, but I worked up. Put TCM brass in the tumbler.
Removed the trigger from my BHP in preparation for the Apex wide flat trigger that’s arriving on Wednesday. Treated the trigger bar lifter pivot points with liquid moly. Everything is prepped and ready to assemble.
I usually do too. I mounted it this way to try it, I'm going back to having the sprue cutter swinging away.I mount mine on the handles with the sprue cutter swinging away from me. Kind of opposite of your picture.
Are your cartridges all the same length?Had a heck of a time getting the crimp correct and still had consistency issues with OAL and the crimp.
Pretty close. I can sort through and get groups of five that will be within 1 or 2 thousandths of each other. I have about 15 rounds that are all over the place in terms of OAL and crimp. I'll use those to get the scope on paper. It will be interesting to see just how much they will affect accuracy.Are your cartridges all the same length?
Within 1 or 2 thousandths of an inch?
I shoot a lot of 357 the one thing I notice with 357 brass is it needs to be trimmed and trimmed fairly often it likes to stretch. I have had the same issue with crimping consistently as you are having ,, trimming it always solves the problem. Hope this is of help.Reloaded .357 Magnum for the first time today. Had a heck of a time getting the crimp correct and still had consistency issues with OAL and the crimp.
But, did three recipes and have at least 10 rounds of each one that are pretty close. Trying to find a defensive load that my Ruglin 1894 carbine likes. All three loads used 158gr Hornady XTPs. Tried H110, Accurate #9, and IMR 4227. Loads were within 2-3 grains of max.
I'm mounting a 3-12 scope on the rifle just for load development. I also have 180gr XTPs ordered from Midway, so will try those as well.

Yep, staying away from that for a while. Is it just a revolver issue?
Why would they do that??
