Pretty good advise above. Shoot it till it splits, if your running easy going loads that brass could out last all of us. Starline usually runs 45 Colt brass every few months. They are taking back...

Welcome to the forum. Bent Ramrod is correct, but I would add that you shouldn't compress your load with the bullet. It will likely expand enough that it will not chamber.

Correct, Remington Model 8 or 81.
Just found out today that Ruger makes a 3" SP 101, fixed sight in 327..... Also found out it fits surprising well in the center console of my Ford. :cool:
My Henry does feed 32 H&R just fine. 32 Long has to seated out to feed reliably, about the same as the 1894 Marlin in 32 mag. It will not feed if it is not held vertical regardless of ammo used....
As everyone else has warned you about the muzzle blast, I'll be honest, there isn't much to the .327 to endear it to me. I own every example of .327 the Ruger has ever made and it really doesn't come...

Chiggers....... Keep the grass cut and use a good non-residual spray. I spray early in the spring and again in June. UTV mounted sprayer for the big areas and a backpack for small areas or perimeter...

Termites, roaches,bedbugs, and fleas. I've used it for years in rental properties for all of them but you are going to have better results if you spray first. These insect life cycles are so fast,...

Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Just got notified yesterday, Starline is accepting back orders for 45-90. Things might be looking up.
Longer shot column= blown patterns. Same mistake as the 3" 20 Gauge. If you want more payload, go up a gauge.
On the Alliant web sight. I'd back it off a bit since your using a heavier bullet....
Your rubber liner needed replaced, you should be good for another 40 years.

I was a fan of Brown and Sharpe until I purchased my last dial caliper from them.......Made in Brazil. Rack was all burred up, took it apart, stoned all the offending surfaces, used it for a month,...

Bought a couple off of Arsenal, the last one cast under sized by.002. After several attempts, I gave up contacting him. Never returned a email. Rumor has it my situation is not unusual with regard to...

Keep an eye on the stock at the lock plate bolt/escutcheon area. I've had a number of Senecas and Cherokee's over the years and practically every example regardless of caliber cracked in that part of...

I wouldn't want to ruin your experiment, but here's a couple suggestions.
1) Use a dedicated vessel to melt your alloy. Once you get zinc on the interior surfaces of your furnace, you will...

Have tried it and it's a complete waste of time.

I use a 330 grain paper patched or a RCBS 300 CSA in a grease grooved bullet. With Black, 1.5 F has had the best showing. Smokeless IMR4198. FWIW, twist is 1-16, Green Mountain.

Were me, I'd take it to a scrap yard and trade it for either wheel weights or pure lead scrap (iron soil pipe salvage). The scrapers don't test it and don't care if it's lead/zinc mixed. I've fallen...

Don't do it, you will never get your alloy "right" sulfur can get a majority of zinc out but it's far better not to get it in your pot in the first place. Test your metal, if you can't or are...
