A pointy stick is better than no stick at all. 32s have the flexibility to keep your options open. I would never see that as a bad idea.

I think we all feel that way. I bought my first primers in 10 years about 6 months ago. Big change from the $20/1k Wolf primers I was buying back then. Literally 5x the price over the course of a...

It's got a bit of Antimony in it. But no tin. I add about 2% myself... That said, she advertises it as 12 BHN, but I haven't tested it - I don't have a way to. That said, based on her analysis of...

Hell, one would have thought this was already the case with how they've doubled the price on the powders they were selling.... I haven't been buying powder. And Alliant hasn't even been something...

Metford rifling (a type of polygonal) was first used with black powder muskets, and later with black powder rifles such as the Lee Metford and Martini Henry. There is no issue with using cast with...

That's why I've been buying from Kathie. If I can't buy it for $0.50-0.75/lb then there is no upside to buying it. I can buy lead from Kathie for $1.55/lb shipped to my door. Unless I can get...
It was mentioned before I think, if not, it should have been - and I was well aware of it. Mixed reviews of shooting 32 ACP in these guns though, I've heard it has a tendency to rupture primers, and...

Watched a video a while back, I believe by Ian at Future Weapons, who discussed Carbine Williams at length dispelling much of what he is praised to have done. Apparently he actually had very little...

Yeah, scrap yards can definitely be weird places to do business with.
I need to hit up my local indoor range to see about buy some range scrap when they clean out their traps. My buddy is the...

You can use pure lead in pistol calibers if you're going to PC. I've done it a few times at normal 9mm and 38spl velocities without any issues. Haven't tried it with 357mag yet, but I'm assuming...

Unfortunately, not all scrap yards sell to individuals. I'm no longer aware of any locally... There used to be a place out in Claremore, Oklahoma that Randall here on CB turned me onto a little...
Checked with my buddy the other night. He can get the SP101 for me out the door right at $700, but this is him giving it to me at cost... Still thinking about the Taurus though, as I think it'll...

I have the Mihec's clone of this, the MP 356-125 2R: https://www.mp-molds.com/product/mp-356-125-2r-6cav-bevel-base/
As well as the 38-147 RN BB, which I actually think is a clone of the Saeco...

Diddo... If they're shinny, they're probably undersized... But I have a .356 mold that routinely drops close to .361 with the way I cast. So I guess that says something...
Nonsense. Many...
Yeah, it looks like S&W dropped the caliber. It used to be offered in the performance center 632, but doesn’t look like they’re doing that one anymore.
I’ve got a turret press, so it’s just a matter of changing plates, shell holder, and possibly primer seating equipment. So no hassle there. And honestly finding brass would probably be the biggest...
Great analogy. I am fond of the idea of the cartridge. And it does sound like a great cartridge. But the only real advantage I'm seeing over the .357 is the +1 capacity and slightly less recoil in...
Actually, that couldn't be further from the truth. I've found the opinions here to be very valuable. And mostly positive by about 2:1 of the cartridge. There are some disagreements as to it's...

I've got the old PC9 Police Carbine. Same gun, only not folding, and uses Ruger Mags and Ruger Scope Rings. Great guns for what they were designed for. A little dated by the same standards today. ...
Jeff, sounds like the Henry would be real fun with 32 Long for Cowboy Action Shooting. It's not something I'd do, but it does sound fun!
