I remember when Kleins in Chicago sold them for $9.99 in 310 cadet, $12.99 for 32-20 and I think $19.99 in 32 Win Special or 357 Magnum. But who could afford $20 for a single shot rifle! This was in...

Army basic 1966 instructor put the rifle against the weakest lookin’ recruits chest, no pain, just push and that was a M14 in 7.62 x 51! Tim

Hodgons load data center has load data for tite group for the 44 Special and 44 magnum. What gun (revolver) are you using? I stick with 180 to 200 gr boolits out of my Bulldog because it is so light...
I agree with Wooldrige, the stem of the expander is adjustable and is usually not set correctly for your application. Read the instructions for adjusting the dies that came with the Lee dies or that...

When I got my 256 win Contender barrel I could not afford form dies so I lube up some once fired 357 cases with Lee sizing lube and slowly ran them into the 256 die doing it in stages with lube in...

Nice job, always wanted a roller. I recall as a kid in the 50 Kleins of Chicago had Egyptian roller for under $20. Tim

Froogal, I had good luck with air rifle and pointed pellets on pigeons. Just inexpensive Crossman guns that pump or break open . Good luck! Tim

My Colt liked the Lee 113 gr flat pt. Tim
Forum: Cast Boolits
Yea, it got so shooting was a way to get stuff to reload. Cast boolits are fun! They give you a sense of accomplishment. You made the actual boolit that came out the barrel. Tim

The Hornet can be a bugger, small cases, varying case capacity and small charge weight add in the handi rifle and you’re juggling 4 or 5 balls. I believe you’re a tinkerer and will eventually find a...
+1 on the belt mountain base pins. They are slightly tighter and do not walk on you. Had one for my 44 Blackhawk and one for my stainless Bearcat. Tim

Wolfdog91, it really is super easy, just a little common sense, which ,from your posts, I know you possess and very basic tools. I bought a piece of marble tile from Home Depot (12x12 or 16x16) and...

The Captain sells great lead and I’ve had great dealings with her but I don’t believe it is “certified”. Tim

I got my 2 Swedes for $69 at Woolworth. They are great shooters. Tim

Beautiful little guns! Some were converted to 32 Winchester. Which uses bullets of the correct diameter but the cartridges are difficult to load and the recoil can’t be pleasant in such a light...

Wolfedog91, liked your video. My handirifle also had a terrible trigger and the ejector was quite astonishing with it power! I’ll shoot you a PM about some Hornet stiff that may interest you!

I’ve had good luck with Mernickle holsters. Nice form fitted leather with an option of R or L hand or cross draw. Love the 44 Special! Just pricey to shoot if you don’t reload. Have fun, Tim
My Contender barrel with the external screw on choke patterned great . Without the choke the 45 colt shot ok but not nearly as good as the 45Colt only barrel! Tim

Looks like you’ll have fun with that! I got rid of mine when I got into Contenders. I had good luck with 2400, lil gun and 4227. I got pressure signs(hard to open action , flattened primers) with...
