:dance: Hmmm, maybe I can make your both feel like winners. I just changed over to load some cast lead RN, for 45acp. After wet tumbling, it took me two hours to size, prime, expand case mouths, lube bullets, weigh powder, seat and crimp, all in individual single steps,......... to produce 50 cartri...

And after handling each one to check primer pocket size, before priming,... when you take it off the press, you can run your index finger across the primer to confirm proper depth. :geek: __________________________________________________________________________ Oscar Wilde,... “Imitation is the sin...

Ya, there's something about getting "revolver evolver (sic) syndrome" that suddenly limits one's choices to the larger price tags,... I have suffered from this, for decades!! 8-) __________________________________________________________________________ Oscar Wilde,... “Imitation is the si...

Yup, hand processing, one stage at a time, does have its advantages, imo! Which is probably why I never graduated to a progressive. Once I learned how every stage of processing towards a finished bullet can compound a negative,... I just stayed with one step at a time,... but, my OCD may have a fact...

AZ1182,... I made mention, above, about OTM nose openings being the result of manufacturing, so I tried to search and find verification. Came across this article, and thought it would more than suffice. You added an interesting, personal twist, to it, thanks! ________________________________________...

https://forum.cartridgecollectors.org/t/open-point-vs-hollow-point-bullets/14131/7 "In olden days, open point and hollow point were used interchageably. A formed or drilled cavity in the bullet’s nose meant to initiate and enhance expansion in game animals. Two different names for the same thin...

When I think about it,... really think about it,... with the horror stories I have heard, about the safety violations by (a minority) of some shooters,... Range Officer isn't a job I would put at the top of my list! :whistle: _________________________________________________________________________ ...

Very Good! Looks like to took some really great advice!

I am glad you posted pics, if, the three of the four first pictured, is what you are referring to as FMJ,... I know exactly what you are talking about. First let me say that I have found the same looking material/ hollow point bullets in some Barnes 36 gr, all copper bullets, I load. I was very leer...

Pika,... I just checked in my Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook. But, It only has load data for the 50AE and 500S&W. I do have to comment on your mold choice. :whistle: I really like extra wide metplats, they cut into a target at a wider range of angles than a round nose or a truncated profile, imo. Bu...

Ballistic Therapy,... there are God's laws and then there are man's laws. Sometimes we are forced to choose between the two. Sorry to read of your fathers loss,... but, if asked, I believe he would admit to have done anything necessary to feed his two sisters, as you probably would have, in your cir...

The only AR pistol upper I built, was in 300 BLKOUT. Probably not considered a "pistol caliber",... but, even having better penetration than any other pistol caliber, even at the velocity I load it at,... it is, in my opinion. I put a 10.5 inch barrel on it. And enjoyed it for close work d...
