Not necessarily. Should you decide to use some .45 ACP bullets sans crimp groove, then a taper crimp is appropriate. Just loaded up and shot some today. Don

Uh, not really. The present day Lyman 358429 does not have the same spec's as EK's original mold had, so it is also a "knock off". Don

Most definitely. Don

Will soon join it's 6 inch brother. Don

Forrest, Your numbers are what I would expect to see coming out of a 2" barrel. That is why I questioned the velocity numbers of 950+fps coming out of a 2" barrel using 5.4gr of Unique in a different thread. As you said, "There will be a +/- but it shouldn't be +/- 100fps." coming out of a...

Same here. You might want to recheck your chronograph on that one. My FBI load uses 5.6 grains of Unique, and my 2.5 inch Model 19 barrel does not put me anywhere's near being over 950fps. Don

My .45 Colt deer stopper. Don P.S. - Fragmenting is a result of too much antimony in the alloy. Eliminate/reduce the Sb and replace it with Sn and you will get nice mushrooming.

Hodgdon's #26 manual lists 10.0gr for both lead and jacketed 158gr bullets. Magnum primers are pretty much required with HS-7. I just bought a couple of pounds of it myself, so that is what I am doing. Don

I'll take the .45 ACP brass. PM sent. Don

I also restrict my 25-5 to sub-25k psi loads. John's load of a 260gr SWC with 13.0gr of HS-6 is a good one and falls in that category. Don

With the Chronys, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS attach the sky screens and then tape some paper or cardboard to them so as to eliminate any early afternoon sunlight hitting the sensors from the side. Don

Ever rinse out the sink after doing dishes? Ya rinse suds with hot water and it keeps creating more suds. Cold water clears out the suds MUCH faster. Don

Been using the FART for a couple of years now on a commercial basis. Here is what I do: 1. Deprime brass using a Universal Decapping die. 2. Fill cannister with 8# of the large size pins. 3. Fill cannister no higher than the cannister neck with brass. 4. Add slightly less than 1 gallon of...

No problem substituting small rifle primers for small pistol primers. Worst case scenario, with striker fired pistols they may not always go off. Seem to work fine with hammer fired handguns. Don

I ordered mine from their website: Tyler Manufacturing and Distribution Company, Inc. Don

Buy the gun, not the story. As such, the finish is not as it came from the factory. Don

Jack, You're missing the Tyler. Don

I use reloads for everything. Plus, all my handgun loads use bullets I cast. Don

Nope. But I'm working with Winchester 571 right now. Don
