165gn #1 Whitetail RNFP Missouri Bullet over Trail Boss at 50yd....... Bbl slugged .307, .309 dia bullet,No gas check....No leading.... '69 336....Real good plinking/practice load.... To "reach out" try Hdy 160gn FTX's over IMR 4895

What happens to the lube on a cast lead bullet when fired...Does it vaporize before leaving the bbl, melt some and travel with the bullet, break up and make those greasy specks on a close in target, burn up and cause the sooty smoke......I'd like to know.......Thanks...2#

There's the answer...Pressure does not affect recoil...Thanks fredj338... If it were only a matter of recoil, I'd give her my mod 16 with 83gn wad cutters, there is also a wide choice of 22's.....But....She likes the little Ruger snub...She's put up with me for 39 years, what she'd like, I do my...

This is Hodgdon's data, where is my "assumption" incorrect, I think we are saying the same thing. The wadcutter takes up more space or volume inside the case, leaving less space or volume for powder... With less powder in less space, the pressure is higher than more powder in a larger space or...

In 38 special... SP 101 x 2 1/4 bbl... For significant other... 148gn HBWC 2.0gn Trail Boss @ 625fps / 15,100psi -or- 158gn SWC 2.7gn Trail Boss @ 661fps / 11,400psi as/per Hodgdon Looks like less space in the case spikes pressure with less...

Something wasn't right, decided to pull........Go figure.......

I recently converted a RL550 to a BL550, much more user friendly when it comes to feeding several rifles......

Maybe too much flair with the powder drop..... The seating depth is adjusted by the screw...... The crimp is adjusted by the die height...... Might consider a Lee Factory Crimp Die..... Seat the bullet, then crimp it..... Post Script: Lee Precision has help Video's on their site.

Hodgdon/Winchester/IMR load data lists 6.0 - 7.3gn TB for 240gn SWC in .44 mag, looks like anything much over 6.4 is above where the bullet base will be when seated in a Win case.......Looking for 6.7.......The little Cheerios will settle just enough if I tap the case a few times, but as I...

215gn Laser Cast SWC over 5gn Trail Boss.......

"Bullet Jump" is another thing to consider. With certain guns chambered in .357, I find accuracy suffers when shooting .38's...... HBWC and DEWC groups open up at bullseye velocities......

Because LH sometimes ask manufacturers to build limited numbers of "special" stuf....Like 314 of these...

600 rounds of .32 H&R... Every now and then I'll have someone with a sharp eye walk behind my booth... Stop and wait till the cylinder's empty... Then say... That's not one of your 14's, and those are not .38's...

This may be totally off the wall...But...I have found almost any 148gn HBWC, plated or swedged to be very accurate...They will still fly when seated backwards...I know this because on occasion I will seat one backwards, won't pull it because it'll work... 148gn Hornady HBWC over 231 357...

Started off with different calibers, 22, 32, 38, 357, 41, 44, 45colt, 45acp, then different bbl lengths, 4's, 5's, 6's, 6-1/2's, 8-3/8's......... No short tubes......Yet.....

Three years ago I had S&W fit a new cylinder on my 25-5, .451 throats (orig .457-8), perfect color match, $182, shipping included.......

Purchased some .025 moons from Dillon...Did not fit arbor on loader... Called George at Revolver Supply...He sent me two to try... Georges fit the arbor and held cases snug...Called back to order forty... Offered CC number...He said... "I'll send the clips out today, if you like them, send me a...

Food for thought, sent my 25-5 to S&W and they fitted a new cyl. Perfect color match, and now shoots consistant little groups......As for range duty, have had good luck with Trail Boss under 200 grain Laser Cast SWC's and RN FP for that tube fed Marlin.....Used 231 and other faster burning...

M657 - I shoot steel indoors in Ct. am the only shooter using a roller, everyone else using bottom feeders, tricked out race guns (Call them "Razors, and "Cats" and such) launching jacketed rounds down range at velocities where the bullet disintegrates on impact...The guys affectionately call...
