When I have trigger issues, I will alternate between the main pistol and a .22LR semi auto. Bad habits that were developing as I shot the larger pistol would linger for a few shots with the .22. ...

Reloader3- You’re splitting hairs, especially for a .45 ACP. A wide range of alloy will work for you there, and an even wider ranger will work if you do PC instead of lubing.

Here’s an...

Well done, and I’m glad that worked out for you. I’ve had to get a marble out of my 5 yo boy’s throat one day. Quick slap to the back and it came right out. I tell new dads: “You will have to save...

I crimp to the point where I can just start to see light between the case mouth and calipers.

Have you ever thought about making a print version?

My responses are in blue below.

I see you every a sample of every Oregon Trails’ bullet. I’ll be eager awaiting that data, because they are used in the Western Handloading Manual #1. Cast Performance bullets are in that manual...

Thanks Randy, and I don’t doubt anything you’ve written. That being said, I can see a .45 case hit the front side of the sizing die, but if I spin the shell holder 180 degrees in the ram I will see...

I do something similar. The weakness of a turret or progressive is if you clean out your primer pockets - decapping is a single stage operation. I prefer to expand the case mouth before seating a...

Bazoo - I have an old Herter’s single stage that does not produce these issues, although I haven’t used that for the .40 S&W. My Coax does not produce these issues either, but that goes without...

I had two issues with my T7 Turret: 1) Loading .45 ACP result in lead shavings inside the seater die and the crimper die. Looking closer, the lead shavings we’re all on one half of the inside...

True Blue will burn very clean in 9mm, and it meters beautifully.

I hope Lee gave you those molds for free, as a sponsor. It’d be appropriate given all the work you’re doing here.

Ramshot load manual #3 (obsolete) has load data showing Enforcer to be good up to 1,202 fps with 185 grain Hornady XTP with a 5” barrel. Expect some recoil.

My blood lead levels have fallen from 4.0 to 2.7 ug/dL over the past 3 years of bullet casting. I take spirulina, sometimes.

Make sure it is a two-part epoxy.

Same here.

Snow in April is not uncommon in Michigan.

If I started a business built it up to be worth millions, I would hand it off to my children. I would not look for the lowest paid CTO to take it over. Friends and cousins would also get well paid...

The answer is small business. Engage in and support small business.

The younger generation will put that in the context of the exponentially increasing pay rates for corporate officers, and then consider that it can be demonstrated that there is no correlation...

Year after year, annual raises across the country do not reach the magnitude of inflation. If you get promotions at your job, you can beat inflation over the course of your career. However,...

Hot plate, with a coffee can to make an oven.

Today wasn’t the best day, so I decided to cast some boolits after my kids went to bed. I wanted things to go well, but I went against the odds by going with an RCBS mold. Up to this point, I have...
