I took a piece of plane paper and colored a 4" dot (or any other size/shape) in the center with a marker. I then xeroxed a bunch, (can't remember what it cost .02 - .03 per, and I did some at work). I've got about 1,000 of various shapes sizes around somewhere.

One of my pet peeves is the O.P. will pose a question (like this one about so called "experts" answering questions), and the next dozen answers will have little to do with the original question or statement (like the way this one drifted to bears).

I use both. I started with the Lee Loader, a pound of Bullseye, some primers, a box of brass, generic lead bullets and of course, a hammer. I made up a LOT of ammo with that set up before I went to a single stage press. I use the Hand Press when my other presses are set up and I don't want to change...

We need to fight the ban on lead(the new PC Gun Control), otherwise the price and availabilty of bullets is going to force the vast majority to stop shooting. I cannot imagine what an all copper bullet will cost us at that point. The politicians and tree huggers have got the public so afraid of lea...

I bought some sabots that allow .22 bullets to be loaded in my 30-30 and I believe there was a similar factory offering a few years ago. I've not tried them yet. Anyone try these? May be a passable varmint round?

Great! I hope you have many years of "too busy to work" ahead of you. I retired last Dec. and noticed a couple weeks ago that the "edge" was gone; no more competition (at work, for that lane on the freeway, for that place in line at the grocery store, or that parking space). Reti...

As for the Factory crimp die; I don't use it. I have one for my .44 mag. but I believe it sizes the bullet down too much while crimping. I need a .432" bullet for my Puma, and the Lee die sizes as it crimps, giving me an undersized bullet (about .430").

Flat point lead bullets with a large meplate are better for hunting too. No reason to go with any other that I can think of. Look at the Beartooth Bullets site for a wide variety of bullet shapes and sizes of lead bullets for .357.

If one wanted to use this monster for deer, what load would one use? A solid for through and through, an expanding bullet loaded down, a cast boolit with large meplate, or a factory load?

There are high fences and high fences. It is one thing to hunt a high fenced 100 acre wood and another to hunt 4½+ square miles high fenced or not.

I was watching NCIS last night. The good guys, Jethro, DeNozo, and the local sheriff, oh yeah, and a pretty woman, are fired on from a helicoptor. Sheriff gets hit, everybody else takes cover, except Jethro who goes back to the sheriff who tells him "...take my Henry, it pulls to the right"...

Not .45, but I get the same blow by when I shoot .44 Specials in my .44 Mag. Puma (I like "Puma" better than "Rossi").

When I started, I used a Coleman single burner propane stove. The kind where the burner attaches to a small propane tank, and the tank sits in a base. I cast a lot of boolits that way.

Perhaps you could auction off the hunt and give the money to your favorite charity. Everyone is happy; you booked the hunt, an auction winner gets the hunt, original client gets the carcases, and charity gets some cash. Or perhaps Little Huntress can do the honor?

Casting boolits is the natural progression from reloading. It can be started quite simply, but if too simple your results may leave a bad taste for casting. I use a Coleman single burner propane stove with a home made steel pot to melt and alloy/mix/clean the lead I scrounge. I used to use this set-...

Yep, I use "Range Lead" for making boolits. It is usually fairly soft because of .22 rimfire and jacketed bullet cores are pretty soft. I add wheel weight alloy or linotype to get it a little harder.
