Yea, I could probably do the same…..

Nice!

I have access to the digital 11th edition. The data is the same as the 9th. 14.5 grains of AA#9 at 1400fps from an 8 inch Python. ETA - starting charge is 9.7 grains at 1k fps.

Yep, the Winchester is a Danish return. The VSR barrel is a ‘57. The only part that’s Winchester on the rifle is the receiver. Everything (other than the barrel) is Springfield. I also have a ‘43 Springfield with a ‘53 Springfield barrel. Everything is Springfield except the trigger guard...

This was my first attempt at 30-06 Garand reloading and I’m very happy with the results so far. My intent was an easy shooting M2 ball-esc load. Due to a medical issue I’m sensitive to recoil, so I wanted this to be relatively tame. I loaded up 10 test rounds earlier in the week and was able...

That’s a steal!

I’ve only used a Dillon powder measure with AA#9. I’ve had zero issues.

I did notice that the non jacketed spec was 850 as well as the jacketed. If they used the same charge in my limited experience the volicity would be lower. Just wondered if they changed the load when they swapped the bullet. Also, I believe Norma loads to CIP spec which is higher than +P...

I know the specs of the 158gr FMJ load is supposed to be 850fps, but does anybody actually know what it does out of a 4 inch barrel? A jacketed 158 getting to 850 out of a 4 inch would be reasonably hot.

Here they are:

I’m reviving this thread as it’s just so good. I searched for WW2 38 Special ammunition and this thread popped up. Thanks everyone who posted. Truly one of the better forums on the internet!

Finished up the run today. Somehow I ended up with the exact number of primed cases to bullets. Can’t argue with that! Still had a little powder left as well. I honestly have no idea how many rounds I loaded as I had primed cases. The bullets and cases were both supposed to be 500, but Acme...

I did this a couple weeks ago but didn’t post it here. As there’s been some interest in my 44 Special 700x thread, I’ll put it up. I found a good deal online late last year on “Blue Bullets” 230 grain coated LRN’s and decided to load up some cheap 45acp. I lucked into a substantial amount of...

I was pretty happy with my results using it with 45acp as well. Only real downside is it doesn’t meter well in my Dillon.

I’m out of town, but I’ll post pics when I get home. I’ve got a pre-27 five screw 3.5” and a third gen nickel 357 SAA with a 5.5” barrel. As close as I get.

If memory serves, the blued “version” of the 63 would be a 34. On a personal note, I have larger hands so a 34 doesn’t fit me very well. I shoot an 18 or 17 much better. The bottom right is a nickel 34. Right above it is an 18.

I started out at home with a Lee hand press. Works just fine for 38 Special. I still have it for “emergencies”. Not fast, but it works. Everything I need fits in a plastic tub.

My normal 44 Special “Outdoorsman” load is a variation of the Skeeter load. 7.5 grains of Herco with a coated 240 grain SWC. 240gr Acme SWC “+P” 7.5gr Herco, 1.47” COAL, Win LP 8.8” Contender: 972fps 4” 624: 899fps 3” 629-6: 850fps It’s a very accurate load and doesn’t beat up me or the...

Loaded up the first part of this 500 round batch today.
