    Should I switch to Conicals in .44 cap & balls?

    I'm looking into a new Lee mold since my old .457 ball mold has had it. I will probably go to .454 since the .457 have always loaded hard. I'm wondering if I should just make the switch to conicals. I'm checking out this: http://www.possibleshop.com/cap-ball-mold.htm " more energy and far...

    Looking for empty BP cans.

    I keep hunting around for empties, but I guess everyone throws them away! I need around 10 empty black powder cans to store my powder in. Swiss, Goex, etc...doesn't matter much, just as long as they're in good shape still. PM me and we can arrange payment. I have paypal or can send a MO.

    Recommendation for 45acp die set??

    Hi, I'm setting up to reload .45acp on my Dillon RL550b. I'm not sure which brand or set of dies to go with.

    Gun Confiscation, who's accountable??

    Not sure if this is the best area to post this and I'm sure many have seen this video. It's shocking, disturbing, appauling, scary and true. New Orleans residents disarmed illegally, beaten, guns smashed on pavement. Why aren't the cops responsible held accountable for violation of rights...
