I can confirm that the picture tube in a console Magnavox color TV will not stop a .45 Colt wax boolit. That stunt made for a danged long winter.

I have bought and sold a lot of guns and my Dan Wesson is one that's never been considered to move down the road. High quality. Incredible shooter. Interchangeable barrels/shrouds. $350 is a good...
Found a 5# jug of Trail Boss today along with an 8# jug of Unique. It was a good day.
Run the ballistics on a 147 gr 9mm at 1000 yds and check out the trajectory. Rain-bow!

I have one set up for Varget, one for H4895, and one for IMR4064. They were all lapped with car polish. The Hodgdon powders drop within .1 grain every time. The 4064 is almost as good but not quite....
I have a 1979 Ruger New Model Blackhawk in 45 Colt. Are these considered the 'large frame' Blackhawks?

I have yet to find a 357 mold that couldn't be made to shoot. Some shoot a little better than others but that diameter must be magic or something as they all shoot well.

My USP, USPc, HK45, and HK45ct, all shoot .452 bullets (thousands of them) with no leading. 50/50 alloy and Recluse lube is the ticket. Haven't tried powdercoating yet but it's on the agenda. I...
You need both! I have been through many Blackhawks, Super Blackhawks and one Super Redhawk. All fantastic guns. Didn't dislike any of them and never had a problem with one.
Picked up a Redhawk...

Thanks. Really appreciate your effort on this.
So far, my Ideal 311414HP has shot the best. Powdercoated over a healthy charge of W296.
OK. New issue. No sticking but I'm not getting a good fill out on the very tip of the bullet. Running #2 alloy at 750°. Do I need to run the melt a little hotter? Nice shiny bullets now with good...

Thanks for all of the responses but I should have mentioned that I tumble coat (with exceptional results on non-HP boolits)

Got a new (old) mold that I'm anxious to try on my BLK. Its an Ideal (Lyman) 311414 hollow point. Drops 311 bullets at around 150 and uses a gas check.
Thinking about powdercoating these and...

I think that you are safe copying things after so many years. Might want to check that.
Thanks. Not bent. Before the sprue is cut... sounds like a plan. Let me try that.

Can somebody PM me his email address?
I have one of his controllers and can't locate the programming instructions.
Thanks
I have an old Ideal 311414 HP single cavity gas check mold. What's the best way to keep the doggone hollow-point pin from sticking?
Will BullPlate on the pin work?
