I have loaded green dot in small handgun rounds for years, mostly 38s... Very light light recoil, and they're accurate enough to hit my 11x14 ringers at 100 yards. As long as they function the gun, I'll probably use them in the 9mm. I will be test firing those before I go berserk on the...
I'm loading Unique in the.38s . I've loaded green dot in 38s , easy on the wrist,but I'm looking for a little more umph.. I'm thinking that the green dot will be a better fit in the 9mm. Any experience with that?
Looking for a recipe for 125 grain plated bullet in .38 Special . I have green dot and unique... I have to save one or the other for 9mm.
Any ideas, or sources are welcome.
I always load for trapdoor pressures, and over the counter 45-70 loads should be safe in any rolling block. The bore in this is exceptionally good (for a gun builtin 1875) with deep rifling and a few small pits. I've shot side by side with a Pedersoli sharps, shared my ammo, and had nearly...
I'm in NW Indiana. I have a pretty good idea what it is. There are arsenal markings on it. There is an alignment mark on the barrel/receiver ... And the extractor face has two holes in it, meaning that it was converted from rimfire to center-fire. All those clues indicate that it's a 11.7x56. I...
I have an old rolling block rifle that is hard to find brass for. I believe it's Danish / 11.7 x 56r... I can make brass but it would be cheaper and easier to just use 45-70 brass. Is there someone who can reline just the chamber, and not the whole barrel? Any ideas are appreciated.
No .. a bunch of their numbers are 5 or 6 digits, starting with 9... I have several that are no longer on their list. I have not used them in years but I would like to...
Apparently, it was too much trouble to stamp the bullet diameter and weight on their bullet molds ,but Lee did put an id number on them. I found a list of their new/for sale mold numbers, but not their old single cavity and discontinued molds. Where do you find that???
I'm still not absolutely sure what's in this stuff, but while I was working with it , I had one of those smell related flashbacks. My mother used carnauba wax on all her old floors. I'm pretty sure that I'm smelling the same thing.
So far, I think the fluid is acetone, which smells like...
So... I finally found that old can of bullet lube. I coated some.45 Lead bullets, easy peasey. Poured in a small amount, maybe a third of a cup. Poured it over some bullets and shake/ tumbled until they were dark charcoal colored. Poured the batch into a colander over another bowl to catch the...
Cast about 85 pounds of pistol bullets and some round balls . I told the Wife that I have to get everything reloaded by April, or I wouldn't be able to help with outside chores... I've let my shooting skills lapse over the last 7 years and I need to get sharp again... Too old to fight and too...
