Ladies and Gentlemen,
After 2 years out of the hobby, my bench is finally setup again! A deployment, career change, and cross country move have had priority for far too long.
I've missed it...
That's ok. Someone will pull from this thread in the future too. I load mine to just cover the lube groove, whatever that length is. It was determined by the plunk test.

Wow. Congrats on getting hitched (and the pile of boolits). I need a good relaxing day of casting too. Way to go.
the Ruger is an excellent little pistol. It's got a decent trigger, but if you want to really love it, get a trigger job. I can't put mine down!
I really like my 357 too. In fact, I carried it yesterday.
It has digested many full strength 357s, which is fairly stout yet manageable. and thousands of 38s...

I'm not certain of the legality of Obama targets, but it's unwise at best. I wouldn't want the attention, even if it were perfectly legal.
Don't mess with the cerrosafe. Just slug. Use a brass rod, greased slug, and a 2x4 for a base. Use carpet or a towel if it makes you feel better. A soft air cooled boolit works great.

The tail is twisted while extra water is removed by rolling on a hand towel. It serves three purposes actually. The cushion allows patch to boolit contours to be pressed exactly.

Hey fellas. I made a quick video on my paper patching method. I've found it quite easier than expected, so I posted this video.

Thanks for your responses fellas.
Previously, I've gone with the left one. The reason there is so much crimp is that I was reaching for the bottom of the groove. I won't load 'em that way.

Forum: Cast Boolits
It's a really deep groove. 130 gn 38 special. The crimp is admittedly firm, but will be fired in a snubby.

I have been. They shoot nicely; however, I am chasing increased consistency over the chrony. Trying to bring down the extreme spread and standard deviation. Does anyone have a crimp position theory? ...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Gentlemen,
In a generous crimp groove, what OAL. Do you crimp to? More specifically, I mean, do you crimp to the shoulder or to the rim?
