    wrong primers

    By mistake, I just finished priming 100 204 cases with CCI small pistol primers. Question, do I need to reprime with small rifle primers or will they shoot ok?

    Load information

    Question, did I read on a cast bullet mfg site that you could use load data stated for a JHP and use it for the same weight SWC cast bullet? I am having trouble finding load data for a 41 mag. using SWC cast bullets. Can I load a 41 SWC 215 gr Meister cast bullet with 8 to 8 1/2 gr of Unique...

    Lighter bullet for a 45 Black Hawk

    I purchased some 175 gr swc made by Hunter's supply and loaded them with 6 gr of Trail Boss. I now find the 175 swc is designed for semi auto pistols and find nothing written about shooting them in my Black Hawk. Does anyone have any experience shooting the 175 swc in a Black hawk?

    Dog Town bullets

    I bought some 34 grain Dog Town bullets in 204. cal from Midway and do not have any loading data. The only data I can find is for 32 or 40 grain bullets. I was planning on using Varget powder.

    Drill Press

    I have one of the best Craftsman drill presses sitting next to what will be my reloading bench. Is this press of any value in case prep or any phase of reloading? Probably overkill.

    Loading 204 in a Hornady LNL ap

    I have a LNL ap on order and have received the Hornady 2 die set for 204 cal. My question is, do these two dies do it all, or do I need to buy another die from another mfg? The girl that took the order was naturally not to tech savy. I would guess that I need to buy a crimp die from some one...

    What ammo is safe?

    I bought my wife a SW 38 special, blue, Body Guard, about 20 years ago. I bought some Corbon 38 spl+p lately and now don't know if it is a safe load. The more I read, the more confused I get. The number on the butt is ANP19XX Is this a model 36 and not safe for +p loads?

    barrel needed

    I have a nickel plated Colt DA 38 with a 5'' barrel, patent Mar 5 1884 to Mar 5 95. It is a nice tight good looking gun, but the barrel is shot out. Part of it's life was as a circus stage prop. They probably shot blanks or shot thru it. It has been in the family 50-60 years. Where could I...
