    I use AA #2 in my .380's and AA #9 in my .357's. Both burn very cleanly so I have no reason to believe #5 or #7 will be any different. I also find that being a ball powder, they tend to meter better...

    My Lee factory crimp die arrived today and it wouldn't work on the short cases, so it looks like I'll be doing some machine work tomorrow. It shouldn't be too big of a deal.

    I talked to a Hornady rep today and he told me their dies can handle the shorter length. Unfortunately my RCBS dies cannot; I tried to crimp a dummy round this evening and it didn't work. I suppose I...

    LeverEvolution Brass

    I bought some LE .45-70 brass at a gun show yesterday, which I didn't realize until I got it home. It's .070" shorter than standard max specified length. I'm certain I can come up with a powder...

    Kodiak,

    I know what she means. Some places will charge you five or six hundred bucks whether you get a pig or not, that's why I picked Wild Hog Ridge. If for some reason I didn't get one I'd only be out the...

    Hog Hunt

    I got this little 85 lb porker yesterday.
    I used a commercially made 158 gr cast RNFP on top of 13.5 gr AA#9. The gun was a Marlin 1894c in .357 magnum.
    The bullet entered the head/neck just...

    Carbide dies are definately the way to go. I'm also going to recommend you get a can of Hornady One Shot Case Lube. Case lube isn't required on carbide dies, but it'll greatly reduce your lever...

    For a mild, easy shooting load in the .45-70 try 14 gr Trail Boss under a 300 or 350 gr bullet. Acurate and fun to shoot.

    Bullseye will work, as will AA#2 and probably #5. I've used Bullseye in .38 and
    .357, and I've used #2 in .380, .38, and .357.
    I don't know if .356 bullets will work in the .38 though. Obviously...

    The 300 gr swaged bullets on top of 14 gr Trail Boss was quite pleasant to shoot. Very accurate, low recoil, and no leading.
    That load is definately a keeper, I just wish the T.B. wasn't so hard to...

    I've tumbled live ammo before, but I don't see myself doing it again. Seems redundant. It sure makes the rounds pretty though.
