I loaded some shot loads in my .45LC. I used cardboard from a cigarette box as a top wad over the powder and did the same wor a top wad over the shot. I then applied a roll crimp and used wax as a...
I shoot IDPA SSR Division and must make 125 PF. This means, using 158gr RN cast boolit I am looking at +P loadings. I settled on a popular load using Clays. 3.5 gr under my RCBS 160 gr RN makes PF...
No but when you decide on a price PM me as I would like to increase my supply. I have a hungry SKS. :mrgreen: I will pay postage.

I agree with everything versifier said except for the Lee FCD. I have one in ,45acp. All it does is resize your cast bullets down to an unacceptable diameter and makes you cartridges look nice.

Beretta CX 4 Storm 9MM Review
I just purchased my Beretta CX 4 Storm in 9MM new/used ( $890Cdn+ taxes for a total of $1069Cdn). I chose the 9MM over the .40Cal and .45acp as the gun will be used for...
I went to my Jungle Carbine. At close range it will kill anything up here including a Grizzly. A window in my truck is worth more than the rifle is so losing it would not be the end of the world.

I have his address somewhere. I have sent emails and they haven't bounced back so at least is address is open. I know he had a bad heart. I hope nothing has happened to him.

CZ 75/85 for me in it's various iterations. All mine are dead accurate and extremely reliable pistols. If I had only one pistol to carry for defense, competition and plinking it would be my CZ 85...
I have found the best way to get lead fouling out of my barrels is to use 100% copper Chor Boy pad strands wrapped around an old cleaning brush. Two or three strokes and the lead is out. I finiish...
2.8 gr of Titegroup under my 180 gr truncated cone bullets makes minor PF for IPSC. Load is accurate and soft shooting.

Nathan the .45acp bullet is held in the case by case tension. All you do when you load lead bullets is remove the belling on the case. The 'crimp" if you want to call it that runs between .469 and...
I have in several cartridges under cast bullets and one loading using jacketed in my 7.62x39MM. Powder burns about 5% faster than H335. I found it works best in smaller cases like 30-30 and...
Beaver Tail soup now there is good eating. Beaver legs are great as well. Never fancied Muskrat though. Would eat it if I had nothing else but it might take a few days for me to make up my mind.

I'll take 1000 .30 cal gas checks. PM me the postage and include your address for settlement. In Canada the postal code is V8G 5S3. Use regular mail.

Just an update. I tried Remington high velocity HP bullets and while they all fired don't always have enough power to prevent jamming or failure to extract, From the recoil, and this is purely...
Just bought a Conversion kit for my Tanfoglio and ran into the same problems as you describe. Failures to feed, fire, jams etc with Winchester bulk and to a lessor extent with Remington HIgh...
You didn't mention Titegroup powder but here is a .40cal load I use to make minor in IPSC. 2.8 gr under a 175 gr Lyman cast truncated cone boolit. Very soft shooting. should make a great plinker...
I should add since taking on my .303 Brit Longbranch I have found IVI brass in that caliber to be very consistent.

Raised in metric eh. My two sons wouldn't know a yard from a train station! Asked the youngest how long a foot was and he stretched his arms out across is chest and said, "Is this close"
Now me,...
I'll 2nd DOK's comments and add you might want to follow Ebay auctions for deals. I got most of my molds off of ebay at prices much below retail. There are always folks who get into reloading and...
Neat idea. .454 cases would work and definitely add capacity. Anyone out there want to donate 10 cases to the cause? I like your nail polish idea to seal the top wad. Wax works but the nail...
Well I voted for CZ. Why? I guess because I own an old CZ 85 Combat and just bought a Tanfoglio clone. CZ has a reputation of reliability, a reputation deserved from my experience.
Now that...
Jeez just when I was about to throw out a zillion 9MM nickle cases I get educated! Actually I find nickly cases much easier to run through my press for reasons god only knows. Much easier to clean...
I have made shot loads up for my .45LC as well. Instead of using foam try cutting out cardboard from a cigarette package or a corn flake box instead. I do that and top the case off with another...
