For 44 Spl, 45 Colt, 44 mag Tier 2 "midrange" loads. Upon taking inventory, I have ample faster powders, and ample "magnum" powders, but not so much in the middle range. Thinking about picking up an...
I think my biggest takeaway it that with any maker, quality is a crapshoot. Just in this thread there are numerous examples of both S&W and Ruger quality control issues. As I just posted in another...

In this case, I think you're right, probably doesn't matter. Was initially planning on something in the 240 range, but looks like I'll end up a little heavier. Shouldn't be a big deal. I'm certain...
326416Shot the gun today, it's great! Once zeroed, first 4 shots on 25yd steel plate were all on top of each other, then I got excited and pulled the 5th shot, but very happy with the way it shoots. ...
326415Good news and bad. Shot the 45 Colt today for the first time. First 5 shot group at 25 yards was about 1.5" or 2" rested, which was great. Bad news- sights maxed out to the right to get it...

Thanks, but if you click on those links, none of them are actually in stock or available. I was hoping someone might have a large bottle and sell me a few oz.

I'll simplify my original question a little. If a certain .43 bullet drops at 265 with COWW, what's you BEST GUESS at what it will drop using 92-6-2 ?

I emailed Tom once, but I am just starting out and I don't want to bother him too much until I have a better idea of what I'm doing. I'm sure he's busy.
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
I have read thru the FAQ, was under the impression that the alloy choice was more related to shrinkage/diameter, as the dimensions are already set unless I specify changes ?
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
I have been spending alot of time on the Accurate Mold website, most of the designs that I find most interesting are just a little heavier than I would like, but they are also rated using COWW. At...

If any of you guys run across any "Dem Barts Continental style stock and checkering oil", I would gladly buy a few ounces from you. I use this when the checkering on my nicer walnut stocks start to...
If I get the 69 it would get mild loads with magnum brass. "Tier 2" range is the hottest I'm interested in, in either case.
The glut of Stainless 45 Colt Bisley convertibles, that popped up on Gunbroker overnight recently, were an RSR Group (distributor) exclusive. I had been watching their site for a while and they got...

As time goes by, I am realizing how hard to get and expensive metals can be. I plan on buying as much of my friend's hardball alloy as he will sell me, at least until I have a substantial pile. I...
Barry, what's your goal with the subsonic 9mm ? I have quite a bit of experience with subsonic/suppressed 9mm. Mostly with Berry's plated 147s. Mostly Red Dot, WSF, Titegroup, N320. Unfortunately...
Are you referring to Bayoushooter forum ? I used to be pretty active there but haven't been in years. What's your handle there, I may have to check it out again. I'm ShootingSupplies (I think).
Stubshaft, do you know the velocity of the Skeeter load in your gun ?
BAZOO, the stainless one I have on the way has the rear sight all the way to the right in the photos on GB. What is the issue on yours, front sight canted ? Before purchasing the gun I phoned Ruger...
