    My 38 Enfield revolver

    It was advertised as a 38 Mk IV Webley but it's clearly not that. The seller was selling it at a modest price. I figured what the heck? I went by my favorite reloading store. They were selling 38 S&W once fired brass for $5 for 50. I spent $10 and got 100. They also had some 148 grain LRN...

    Small Rifle Primers for 357 Magnum?

    I recently got a box of 1960's Winchester small rifle primers from an antique store. There were 81 primers in the box, but the price was so insignificant I didn't care. I don't load any rifle calibers but several of my loading manuals say that a small rifle primer can be used in several...

    Is it safe to pull BP bullets?

    I have maybe a half box of BP loaded 45 Colt ammo that I am considering unloading in order to dispose of it. Is it safe to use a kinetic bullet puller with black powder? This box is one I purchased at a gun show maybe 35 years ago. The cases of the loaded ammo are heavily corroded and do not...

    Duplicating Remington Factory 45 Colt Ammo

    Does anyone know what powder Remington uses in their factory loaded 45 Colt 250 Gr LRN ammo? It's always been very accurate in my handguns and I would like to replicate it, if possible, in a handload. I have a new box and could pull one and weigh the charge. Maybe compare the powder visually to...

    Loading 44 WCF for my Uberti Flat Top Target

    I am told the barrel is actually the same one used for 44 Special revolvers so recommended bullet diameter is .429 - .430" for best accuracy. I have new Winchester cases and new copper plated 200 grain bullets in .429". I have the Lee dies for both .44 Special and .44 WCF including factory...

    Load Data for Hornady 44 Special 300 gr XTP

    I picked up a box of Hornady 300 Gr bullets hoping to find data so I can use them in 44 special. Unfortunately, unlike every other load I can imagine, the internet seems to not have anything. I have several loading manuals. Nothing about 300 grain bullets in 44 special anywhere. Any ideas...

    H.R. 5717 would implement a 30% tax on all gun sales and 50% tax on all ammunition sales

    Section 803 of Johnson’s H.R. 5717 details the changes that would be made to taxes on firearms and other related items. It would make pistols, revolvers and other firearms taxable at 30%. Shells and cartridges would be taxable at 50%. This is illegal legislation IMHO. Link...

    Found an unusual wildcat brass case - what is it?

    Case diameter is about 5/16" and 1.25" OAL. The bullet end is sized for a 6mm. Headstamp is illegible, looks like it was used a lot. I got it with a bag of 250 45 ACP cases that were from a range in central Texas.It has a very distinct shoulder. Tiniest center fire rifle round I have ever seen...

    Case Cleaning ideas

    Calibers I reload: 45ACP, 45 Colt, 44 Special, 38 special, 357 Magnum In the past I have used crushed walnut shells with a vibratory tumbler. That works OK but you have to be careful to dump any stuck media out of the primer pockets. If I deprime first this can be a big problem. If I deprime...

    .44 Russian Load Data - 240 Gr JHP?

    I have a reproduction Cimarron Arms Model 1872 open top revolver in .44 Special. My indoor range requires the use of jacketed ammo only, no cast lead bullets allowed. With a box of reduced velocity .44 Special JHP ammo it shoots about 4" low POA. So I want to load them slower than that. I am...
