I have a 30ish year old Model 67 (I THINK it's a -1 or -2). It was recently dropped on a cement floor and banged up the rear sight pretty badly. I seem to be able to find all sorts of rear sight assemblies for the -4's and newer. I've checked Brownell's, Numerich, and just random searches, no...

So, there's very few things I hate and am afraid of more that snakes......... I carry a 1911 almost exclusively (yes, even when I mow). I have loaded numerous .38 Spl shot loads in the past because they're easy, but I decided to do a little research and cook up some 45ACP shot loads that would...

So..........I recently went looking for some load data that I know I've seen before, but now I can't come up with it. Maybe someone could help me. I am wanting to load 155gr Speer GDHP for 10mm Auto using Longshot. I seem to remember the starting load being around 10 grains. In the couple of...

All, I am planning to try to load some Missouri Bullet Company, 158gr, cast lead "Ranger" bullets (18BH) for my 6" GP100. Normally I run XTP's and H110, but I don't think H110 is going to do well with lead bullets and no gas checks. The powders I have on hand that would seem compatible are...

So, I have a weak spot for S&W revolvers. Today, I was at a LGS about an hour and half from my house with the intention of buying a new gun to celebrate an event that I won't go into, combined with an early xmas present to myself. The shop had a new model 66 (improved K frame 357), a new model...

So........ I've thought about one of these for a while now, but never could bring myself the $30-$40 for one. I have 2 presses that I reload with, so it seemed somewhat counterproductive money spending. I'm a cop and my brother in law is a retired cop, and I knew at one point he used to dabble...

Just wanted to run this load up the flagpole and see what everyone thinks. And before anyone posts about how horrible Blue Dot is for 45ACP, save your time. I have heard that all before. I know folks who LOVE it and folks who HATE it. Another snippit- I also don't want to hear about how...

I typically run stick powder in .30-06 (mostly Varget or H4895), but I recently decided to give BLC(2) a try. Instead of BOOM, I got the cli-BOOM. (Not REALLY delayed, but I noticed it. They shot well (about .8" in a 3 shot group) 175 SMK, new Winchester brass, CCI LRP, 2.345" OAL I'm...

So, I've been reloading for several years and have NEVER done this before, and I think already know the answer to my question, but here goes.......... I was loading some .308 over the weekend and was using BLC-2 to work up some test charge weights for accuracy with a new (to me) bullet weight...

Has anyone done any trials with this powder in the 45/70? Its a little slower on the burn chart than Varget, which is used in some 45/70 loads. I bought some of this kind of on impulse for 223, but like to spend money on powders I can use in multiple calibers. I typically run Benchmark, H4895...

Well, the shortage has effected me.....almost out of Benchmark, which has been my go to powder for rifle (.223, .308 and .45-70) Went to Graf today and no Benchmark (:mad:) so grabbed some CFE223 and H4895. According to Hodgdon, the H4895 will run all 3 calibers. I have NO experience with the...

I have been tinkering with a 92 action rifle in 357 Mag and cast bullets. I have some blue dot that a friend gave me, and after some reading and research, worked up the following: -Federal cases-once fired -Missouri bullet 158 gr "ranger" cast slugs (18 bnh) -8.7 grains BD -CCI standard spp...
