I am looking at buying a Rossi M92 in 45 Colt and have an older Ruger Blackhawk that has oversized throats and likes .454 bullets. I cast and shoot RCBS 45-270-SAA bullets. Any problem shooting these in the Rossi?

So I got an 1884 Trapdoor Springfield from my son for Christmas. I also have a Henry H010 lever in 45-70. I have 2 relatively mild loads for the Henry that I use exclusively. Both loads use 45.7 grains of 3031 behind a 405 grain bullet. Load A uses Starline brass with a large rifle primer and a...

I posted this over on Cast Boolits and thought it might be of interest here: A few months ago, my son was mentioning some reading he had done on the internet from people who had experimented with heavy-for-caliber bullets for the.460 S&W and said he would like to try some in his .460 XVR (8...

I have a sporterized Mosin with a 22" barrel(it slugs at .312) that groups fairly well , and handles great in the woods, but the bullet selection is not all that good for .312" bullets for elk hunting. All I can find locally is .311 Speer Hot-Cor which would probably be OK for a broadside lung...

I have a Mossberg 4X4 in .270 Win. with a 24" barrel. For some reason Mossberg saw fit to equip it with a muzzle brake which adds another 2 1/2 inches. The screw on cap that replaces the muzzle brake opens the groups up from 3/4" to 2" so I put the brake back on. Besides being loud, and...

My son has a fairly new S&W 629. He shot maybe 500 rounds of American Eagle 240 grain factory loads, then we bought a Dillon 550B, A bunch of Starline brass and Berry's 240 grain FP plated bullets. Due to powder availability we used Herco, 800X, and now CFE pistol and loaded them to around 1250...

My son just ordered a S&W 460 XVR with an 8 3/8" barrel. I will be loading for him on a Dillon RL550B. He will be going to Alaska this fall to hunt moose and will carry the revolver for bear protection or possibly to take the moose if he gets a close shot. I was thinking a 325 grain Swift...

My son has my dad's old 1946 Field Grade Model 12 and it has worn to the point of incomplete lockup and occasional fail to fire. He wants to send it to someone with lots of Model 12 experience, knowledge, and concern for quality for a complete overhaul. He is not concerned with price, just that...

After a hiatus of many years, I am back to reloading but I find that I now enjoy the process of loading by hand with a standard press and just don't use my Dillon any more. I was thinking of putting it on my local Craigslist so that I can get a few bucks and someone can get a good progressive...

I hunt elk in the Idaho panhandle where the timber is thick and the ranges short. Last fall I killed a medium sized cow with my new Mossberg .270 with a Nosler 140 grain Accubond and was very satisfied with the bullet performance. It took the top off the heart and broke the off-side leg. This...

Yesterday I went over to Sportsman's Warehouse to get large pistol magnum primers for my W296 heavy 45 Colt loads and the only ones they had were Federal, which I bought. Later, I was reading Modern Reloading 2nd Edition (a recent acquisition) and Richard Lee's warning on the possibility of...
