guess you got to much pork in the freezer already!

OOooooo I like. who made that beutiful wheel gun

charharts

its runing about 15 a brick for fed here in STL

anyone know whats up with NEI's website its been down for a couple days
scary part is that i ordered a mould from them the day before the site went down

seems like it would be awful heavy though trim down the cylinder a bit and i might buy one no need for all that extra steel

amen to that

hopefully thell trun out better than my pt1911 which i had to fix myself and relized there tolerances are laughable

nice
hmm 45-60 you say interesting very interesting (shuffles through wallet) curses

ok i just used some 600grit paper and a dowel to ream the sizing die out to 454 :shock: it is actually pretty round (within .0002)and my bullets are nice and shinny whan they come out of the die. now i have to wait for my bullet lube from midway and hopefully my NEI mould will show up soon then hope...

hmm all of that doe make sense but if the neck is oblong to begin ith and you size the neck wouldnt the inside of the neck be unifom case to case? the you cut the case necks to remove the extra brass making the neck round inside and out.
or am i just crazy?

just post a copy of the report so the ATF flunkies can see it bet they'll chill out
then again maybe they can read

nice set up i just have one 3x4 bench dedicated to my loading stuff and all my casting equip fits in a 5gal bucket minus alloy. well i guess im goin to have to buy another gun to exapnd my loading bench (hmm 223 357 30-06 45acp 45colt hmm a 30-30 or 45-70 may be in order )

thanks again for all the advise i did check the barrel around the frame when i was cleaning all that lead out and it didnt seem to constrict there the forcing cone sounds like that might be the culprit but i and going to lapp the sizing die out and try a diffrent bullet lube first if that doen't sol...

ok thanks alot ill most likely open up the resizing die a little or get a new one

how does one go about checking the forcing cone?

ok i sluged everything

chambers are between .454 and .4545 acroding to my mic
barrel slugged to .4512
and i double checked my bullets there at .453

so i guess im at either the throat the bullets being to hard or the bullet lube

thanks for the advise i just checked the throats on my blackhwak with a caliper but they were mesuring between .456-.458 for what its worth. the mould is a lee 255gr sized to .452 unfortunatly i dont have a crono but the casings are dropping free from the cylinder i using 15.5 grains of both lil' gu...

uh oh i have the same birthday as paco. happy birthday to both of us!!!!!!

hi, i will try to describe my problem as best i can i just bought a ruger blackhawk in 45colt with a 7 1/2" barrel after doing dome reloads with home cast 255 RNFP and using lee alox lube i am having leading issues the leading is occuring after 25-30 rounds and is starting 3/8" or so after...
