    Crabby brass... anneal help, or bad alloy ???

    I'd read some bad reviews of Hornady 460 S&W cases, with case mouths splitting... I needed cases for my 45 BPM, & thought, well... these will be much lower pressures... last night I loaded a dozen cases with 4 different powders to try, & split 2 case mouths just belling them... I can't complain...

    460 S&W... shell holder ?

    so I went to load some of my 1st 45 BPM loads last night... I purchased a Lee die set for 460 S&W, my cases are 460 S&W with the head stamps knurled off, & rolled flat... I like to use a Lee hand prime to prime my cases, & found the shell holder I use for 45 Colt won't fit my Hornady 460...

    did they ever make a poly choke for the .410 ???

    I'm not much of a shot gunner, ( well I shoot mostly my hammer doubles for CAS ) I already have one ( 12 ga ) , & have started a 2nd ( 20 ga ) & could see doing a 3rd, in .410... folding shotguns... that I'm setting them up kinda like the pocket fisherman of shotguns... I like the old H&R's, I...

    got a good idea the answer is no... anyone make a plastic ammo box that holds 25 ACP

    without dumping all over... I see Midway, lists them, but the boxes go up to 380 or such... would like to find something from any brand, that would fit the cartridge better... I can use those for my 32 S&W shorts, but not happy with them for the lil ACP

    thoughts on gas checks... where is that line, where you need them ???

    so I load a lot of different calibers, many with cast bullets... ... right now I ramping up for a "wildcat" 45 Black powder Magnum in a strengthened gun, that can shoot smokeless loads... the case is a standard 460 S&W case, that I'm knurling the head stamps off of... the loads will be average...

    ... & people keep buying 22's

    I keep seeing these threads about all the new 22's being bought... I guess I have a different point of view... I had a Henry Lever Action on the top of my to buy list for this year... my disgust with lack of 22 ammo has bumped the rifle from the top of the list... I may still buy one later, if...

    scourge of the earth... those early custom guns... why no love ???

    this is something I've noticed for a while, & really don't understand fully... a guy can post up a picture of a new custom revolver, & get nothing but oooo's & awwwes, & yet another can be posted of an older ( or antique ) gun that was customized long ago, & it's "man they wrecked that" or "who...
