try to purchase your powder and primers in a local gun store for a couple of reaseons: 1) good advice on a specific load instead of digging it out of a reloading manual, BUT the advice of getting a copy of The ABC's of Reloading is good advice, just as a refresher. 2) You will save a lot not...

Changing your fav... I was at my dealer, and picked up a pound of power pistol off the shelf, and when I put it on the counter, my dealer asked why??? I said I had heard that it was good, but the drawback is it's very loud! He said "but you use Bullseye...just stay with it." This is a guy...

I use carbide dies for .357, .45 long colt, and .45ACP. While I know carbide dies do not require lube, I think a light lube might extend the life of the die. I use a found-on-the-net formula of a small amount (1/2 tbls) of lanolin mixed in a 12oz. bottle of IsoHeet (red bottle), mixed in a spray...

I have an RCBS powder dispenser with stand for sale. Dispenser with stand lists for 120.00. Will sell for 75.00. Some overspray got on the powder tube, and created a "fog" smear, but it is cosmetic only, on the outside. It does not affect the operation of the dispenser. I purchased an RCBS power...

Thanks to all the responders for your help and suggestions. I think I'm gonna like this neighborhood!

Thank You...I got my Lyman Cast book yesterday in the mail, and while I haven't had a chance to read it very much, I browsed thru the parameters I was thinking about and I foun what you did. I think a start is 6.0 Unique. Thanks for helping.

Thanks for that info, think that gets me on the right track...

Thanks, Randy. I like Unique, so maybe I can work up a load with that.

I've got Nosler, Hornady, and Lee manuals, but none address this particular bullet. I've ordered a cast bullets bible, so maybe it'll have some info.

4 in barrel. To be used for target shooting, flat-nosed loads. I would like to use Bullseye, Unique or H110. I'd like to try some of the new Allient Sporting pistol, but i've not seen it locally, yet.

I shoot Berry's in .45ACP, and I treat them as plated bullets. They are fine.

I'll pull it and repost to the correct reloading forum, thanks.

I want to construct some loads for my .357 using Missouri Bullets .357 "Zinger" cast bullets. They have a Brinell hardness rating of 18, and are 140 gr. TCFP. Anybody got a recipe for this load? I shoot an S&W Mod. 19-4.

I'll pull it and repost to the correct reloading forum, thanks.

Sorry, first day with my new fingers, just learning how to navigate the site,,,bear with me, please.
