Don't own a 41. But I can tell you that's a mold by Dan over at Mountain Molds.

There is the Ranch Dog 190gr. That has a large meplat, is heavy, and carries a lot of energy. The 180gr would be probably do well as well. You can see it here: ...

Are you using an older phone? Even my iPhone 8 manages to navigate the firms just fine. I don’t see where a phones browser would be a problem unless it was very old. If that’s the case, it probably...

I mean, if your browser is saying that it needs updating to view a website, update your browser. That's pretty basic stuff there...

I have been a fan of Ubuntu, but they've seriously had a problem with issuing updates over the last decade. My original goto back in the day was Red Hat. Then Debian, which I still occasionally...

That sucks. Been doing similar at our office. Also, upgrading everyone's workstations, since Win10 becomes unsupported as of next year we need to migrate to Win11. And because the system...
You can still buy brass shells. Pretty pricy though... Can't comment on the dies. Never seen them before, let alone used them.
I misunderstood what you were getting at. I thought you meant it pierced primers.... No worries, if it doesn't do that I wouldn't mess with it either!
Also, believe it or not Alliant has a TON of published loads for shotguns on their website. Their components are a little one dimensional. But, they're all standard stuff. They only have shot...
Really? You pop primers every time? Have you considered having the firing pin gently stoned down a little?

Someone recommended the Tom Roster manual over at Precision to me a few days ago. I've ordered it. I'll let you know if it's any good. Assuming I remember what I was doing that is....
I can honestly say that my only experience with Accurate powders is with AA-2230/Ramshot X-Terminator. I don't know much about AA-5, nor have I seen much data for it.
I'm in a position where I'm having to switch over to a new powder myself. While, I mostly use mine for buckshot loads, I am seeing that Longshot is probably the best for my needs. If you're loading...
Can still be cheaper for some stuff. Look at 16ga, revolver rounds (especially magnum), and non-common rounds such as European imported pistols shoot. One of the reasons I've almost stopped using...
I mostly load buckshot loads. But I don't use the hopper for powder or my buckshot. It doesn't feed buckshot well, and I can't get the exact charge weight I'm looking for with the charge bar. At...

And here you just told me not too long ago you were done buying H&R barrels...
Yeah, I figured with the shorter lip on the base it'd have quite different pressure curves for a given charge of powder. Not to mention the column would need to be adjusted... Until I can find some...
I only have two types of shells. One is the Grey AA hulls, which pretty much all look like the example below. I also have some Super X hulls I’ve never reloaded. Not sure what class they fall into,...
Solved it by removing the barrel shroud. Shoots to point of aim now.
Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing those pictures... I bought these in bags of 100 from a local shop years ago, they were...
World wide shortages, an uptick in firearms and ammo sales, trade wars, actual wars, international relation issues, and manufacturer profiteering have all caused the disappearance of supplies, and...
800X was also discontinued. Never used it myself, but I'm told that people like it. With 8lbs of it at the right price, I'd see no good reason not to use it up! Sounds like a good score.
