Got one just like it on the way. Should be here Thursday or Friday.

Just got through reloading some Missouri Bullets 250grain RNFPs. I use 6.8grains of Green Dot, a mid-burn rate propellant, and chrono @ 790ft/sec out of a 4 5/8" Blackhawk. Same round chronos @ 950ft/sec out of a 20" Marlin 1894. OAL is approx. 1.550.

I bought my first LCT well used off the internet for $50. Used it for about 8 years and it did get a little wobbly. Replaced it with another, but new, LCT. Had it about 5 years or so and it's going strong. Shoot USPSA, steel plate an misc. matches on a monthly basis. Go thru a minimum of...

The Alliant 2400 works great for magnum loads (.357 and .44mag). I use a faster burning powder (Alliant Green Dot or Alliant American Select) for the standard loads (.45, .40S&W, .38spl, etc). The recipes call for considerably less of the faster powder which means the faster powders cost less...

I have been shooting and reloading for a Glock 23 for over 10 years with no bulge related failures. I use the 23 for steel plate, USPSA, and other competitive shoots as well as frequent practice drills. The "bulge" I experience is much less severe than the one pictured above. As far as...

If you're looking for used brass I think there is a lot more of the large primer casings available than the small primer variety.

I wore a hole in the hand grip of my old model and went to the new "square" model. Grease the new one periodically and so far no issues with wear. Occasionally have an upside down primer with it, somehow the primer gets inverted in the "cage". No major issues.

I use a Lee bottom pour and it works fine. No issues. Transitioning from wheel weights to the Lee "furnace" I use an old steel cook pot over a propane fish fryer base. Works great. Clips and non lead material float to the top and then be skimmed off. Then pour the lead into Lee ingot molds...

I have run hard cast bullets thru the stock barrel on a Glock 23 with no issues. I have not been able to get bullets cast from wheel weights to run without leading and tumbling. Therefore I use the hard cast from a couple of suppliers.

No photos, but today is .40S&W day with 180gr hard cast over 5.1gr Green Dot. Tomorrow is .44mag day with 240JHPs over 18gr 2400.

Just for clarification, I only used jacketed bullets for loads over 1100ft/sec. However, I do appreciate Berry's warnistatement as a reminder.

I have at least 7 loads for a .44 magnum chrono'ed at over 1300 ft/sec. Also, 5 loads for a .357 magnum chrono'ed at over 1300 ft/sec. So to say that keeping loads below 1300 ft/sec is 'sort of a joke' is an ill considered statement. The warning is there because a few of us use hot loads for...

From the Berry's web site: Question: How do I load Berry's Preferred Plated Bullets? We do not research or publish the load data, but you can use any published load data for a jacketed or lead bullet as long as it is the same weight bullet. Any of the load data books or the powder...

I seat to the desired OAL and use the Lee factory crimp die (taper crimp). Adust die to just contact case then add 1/2 turn. Also supplied AOL for .45 ACP not .45 Colt. OAL used for the .45 colt is 1.56 for the LRN and 1.60 for the jacketed.
