I'm with Joe. Grab 'em/buy 'em while you can.

I am with Jimbo on this.

There's nothing wrong with that-a theory. Glad you found the answers here.Whether long or short answers,still in a nutshell said the same thing. My cousin said nearly the same as you did. He used to set up plastic injection molding machines all over the U.S. Was back in the 70s.He said he hated...

Well, I think it's best to stick with the recent published manuals. At least,you are using what is known vs the unknown. Use the starting loads.Nothing below,as this ventures into the unknown territory. Same for max loads. Murphy's Law applies to nearly everything. There can be variables that...

Hi Chief, You also might add to your list,a taper crimp die for your 45ACP.

Yeah ! Those too.

If so CD,place something soft at the bottom. Such as closed cell foam.A plug of it is all that's needed. If you don't have any, then a piece of a cotton ball will do. This way,the bullet won't be damaged.

Yes, the 45-70 is normally a rifle cartridge. Should look up "Sandy Hook Tests". :wink: Yes, there are some big revolvers that does shoot this cartridge. I like the Trapdoor loads. The 405gr with 70gr (volume) BP, 2F are not under powered by any means. (45-70-405) They are powerful in their own...

What I've used in my RH,the pressures were way up next to the 454 operating pressures with a 320gr JDJ.(44 mag) Chronographed only 6. Won't say what grains of H110.Too dangerous.Believe me. The gun held together OK.Mine is a stainless model. You should be able to get to 1,000 FPS with published...
