I agree it will be rough couple of days. Not a good reflection on our country. -Tutt

Ginsburg herself thought it was judicial over-reach but you won't hear that in the mainstream news.

Well, I'm surprised no one else has posted it already and you would have to be dead to not heard the news already, but Roe vs Wade was finally over-turned and abortion laws returned to the states. Justice Alito was very concise in his majority opinion, and his rebuttal to the 3 dissenting liberal ju...

Very grateful for our moderators here and the work they do, thank you guys! -Tutt

Diesels no go, cost of fuel prohibitive right now. Grand Cherokees much cheaper right now, much cheaper than trucks. Worth looking into too. i could not afford a used truck, Grand Cherokee was much cheaper, same drive train, maybe better ride. Way cheaper! -Tutt

Well, in another sort of irony, I just found this. The background story is a good professional friend of mine, now also in SoCal where I will be soon, her husband was a good friend of Kris Kristofferson. Kris came to visit my friend's husband after his bypass surgery. My Dad used to love Kris K's al...

Sadly, Jim could not make it to the Shootist Holiday this year, family first as always. Jim is always trying to keep me on the path of God's Love and honoring Christian beliefs. I came across this today as I was in a "singing" sort of mood and I could not remember all the lyrics so I looked it up an...

Like I need another experiment.

Laughed my a*se off on that one, know the feeling! More things to try and report back, maybe after I have moved and set up new reloading bench?

If you want some "recoil fun" try some Long Shot! LOL

Glad your having some shooting fun! I'm wrapping up work this week. Then packing to move and giving away tons of stuff. Yuck.

I went through Jason at Aria Ballistic Engineering who has a long working relationship with them, but we are also still awaiting my parts. Everything is jammed up right now. ABE has stopped taking custom work and Gary Reeder is not taking any new work either. I didn't get a response from Jeff Ault a...

The bullets and die did arrive. Very impressed by both. The bullets are a glossy purple black color with a copper gas check. Very attractive. The LFN profile may even work for long range target shooting. I'm so impressed I ordered another 250 of them and already received a confirmation email. Sadly,...

CowboyTutt

They posted a shipping email to me today, including the 250 400 grain cast lead bullets in .416 caliber, and in a separate order, their Universal Big Bore Expanding die. So I guess they are still in business and fulfilling orders. There was no response to my placement of an order, but the shipping a...

CowboyTutt

I'm with Griff, I don't think your going to see any significant difference for most pistol cartridges between manufacturers. There is one way to check water capacity that is pretty easy to do if you have a digital scale. 1. Weigh an empty case and write it down. 2. Zero the scale with the case on it...

CowboyTutt

The Longshot loads with the custom 400 grain bullet were between 800-900 fps IIRC. I might even have the data somewhere, but Mic does, you can ask him about it when you see him. I think you should. He is traveling today and will be gone for 2 weeks. But Longshot has probably the best uniformity of a...

CowboyTutt

Jim, you are probably traveling today and will be busy for a week, but Mic and Friends used Longshot powder (usually for shotguns) in a low speed 454 Casull load with Mic's custom 400 grain bullet to astonishing chronograph results. Some of the lowest SD'S and ES's I have ever seen! -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Lots of good information there Scott! Hope you find time to read some of it. Mic and Jim W and Jim T are off to the Shootist Holiday, so we won't be hearing
from them next week I think. But glad they will be having a good time! -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Scott, its really, really hard for me to remove myself from the "maximum velocity" group of thinking. Just my mind does not currently work that way. For the velocities you are looking at, any number of powders would work just fine. I cannot adapt to this idea. I only know that you will find success ...

CowboyTutt

I loved and miss Jeff. But I’m really happy that Boge is continuing this. I feel the same way about him. Great guys. This photo was taken at Gunsite a few years back. Scott, I agree that Boge has done an exceptional job of preserving GunBlast.com. Some slight differences between the two brothers. O...

CowboyTutt

I tend to think think that Alliant Power Pistol might yield superior results and burn cleaner, but while I have some, have not tried it yet. But it's the "go to" powder for 10 MM according to Quick Load and the other proprietary powders are not available there and probably never will be for propriet...

CowboyTutt

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvMMVP0Lf2Y Boge has gotten as good or maybe even better than Jeff on his Gun Blast reviews and this is just another fine example of a very thorough review on his part. Honestly, I am suspecting that the action on the Ruger Marlin is superior to the Big Horn Armory gu...

Might be something here you can use, maybe not exactly what you want but very adjustable. Steve of Steve's Guns makes a peep that goes where the safety goes, not sure how adjustable it is though.

I have moved away from using my Dillon 550 B (need to upgrade it t a "C" or sell it). When your messing around with a max load of 454 Casull, there is no margin for powder drop error. If your using a mechanical powder drop, you need to measure the variants in drop weight, and back down so you don't ...

CowboyTutt

I just placed an order with them for the .416 bullet. Hope they can deliver, little bit worried because of some anomalies with the website. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Doc, for short range, and hunting, they will do fine. And the penetration will be outstanding. But for long range use, the WFNGC simply doesn't work from what I know.

It's still amazing to me how sensitive these small cases with small loads of fast burning pistol powder can be Jim! Had some experience with a RCBS Digital Powder Charger that went crazy. I was loading 454 Casull rounds with it, using Lil'Gun I think. It already filled the case. Well, there came a p...

CowboyTutt

Kudos to Rimfire McNutjob. He did contact Hartmut at Quick Load. The response from Hartmut was that St. Marks, who makes the powders for Alliant, did not want to share their data with Hartmut at Quick Load and their new ball powders. Hartmut's computer algorithm cannot calculate "double deterrent" p...

CowboyTutt

Yikes indeed. Wonder was that just a massive over load or a 9mm chambered in the wrong firearm. It was an over-pressure load. The case bulged where it is unsupported in the chamber. If it was in a larger chamber it would not have fired as it would have slipped too far in for the firing pin to reach...

CowboyTutt

Yikes!

Steve, I always welcome your responses and glad that Rossi still makes the '92 in 454 Casull. Hopefully the quality control and tolerances are better than my 2003 rifle. The 454 Casull in a small levergun that can hold 9 rounds, is really exceptional! It's 9 rounds of 45-70 with a 300 grain bullet. ...

CowboyTutt

Regarding the use of lubricants in the cases of the 454 Casull, Jim Taylor shared some things with me privately that I thought was worth passing on if only to prevent people, much like myself, from doing stupid things! Good Andy. I am sure you understand that lubing the cartridges causes more rear c...

CowboyTutt

Rimfre, It looks like the Power Pro line of rifle powders is missing and Sport Pistol and BE-86 are missing, and of course 300 MP. I know why 300MP is missing as I explained, not sure about the others. Please let us know what you find out! I would appreciate it. Thanks, -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Yup, would agree with everything you just said! Regards! -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Did Helmut finally add 300MP to QuickLoad? If so, I'll need to update. I've not updated in many years due to a lack of those newer Alliant powders. The current version of Quick Load offers the following Alliant powders: Red Dot Green Dot Bullseye Unique Herco Power Pistol Blue Dot 2400 RL-7 RL-10x ...

CowboyTutt

Jim, that once again "explains the unexplainable" so I can't tell you how much I appreciate that! I don't think this information even came out to us who visited him. Wow, I am bookmarking this thread and will pass that on. Your personal experiences are priceless to me in this case, thank you Sir! Ne...

When we first got the Freedom Arms guns in the middle 1980's we did what most young shooters did in those days .. we worked at seeing how fast we could get it to go! Paco and I ran tests with bullets from 180 gr. to 320 gr. and loaded them until we ruined brand new unfired cases with one shot. We g...

Yeah 44 mag and hot 45 colt are about all I want and prefer shooting reg 45 Colt, ACP, Schofield, midrange and cowboy 44 mag, 44 special, 40 S&W and the like. These all kick just enough to feel like I’m shooting something and will put a big enough hole in whatever I’m likely to shoot with a handgun...

CowboyTutt

Rim, 454 Causull or 460 Smith data, it simply cannot be done with Quick Load using all powders using more than one deterrent! It can be done using approximations with other powders and load data from various manufacturers as posted on their websites, so please seek them out for load data, and reduce...

CowboyTutt

Did Helmut finally add 300MP to QuickLoad? If so, I'll need to update. I've not updated in many years due to a lack of those newer Alliant powders. Rim, for I hope the last time, it is not possible for Quick Load to model multi-deterred propellants, such as 300-MP. Been trying to tell you this for ...

CowboyTutt

Olliger, while I am partial to the 454 Casull, I can see why the Freedom Arms 500 Wyoming Express is the benchmark, and have shot one that belongs to my best friend Tym Hurst, in about a 4 1/2 inch barrel I think. I will correct this post when I hear from him if need be. It's just that the 454 Casul...

CowboyTutt

Rim, as far as I know, 300 MP continues to defy the Quick Load algorithm. I believe it uses a "double deterrent" formulation, so its results cannot be predicted. That being said, just treat is as Lil'Gun and reduce your loads by 10% for your particular gun and work up from there. If you do so, I thi...

CowboyTutt

Was it ever really popular though? I always saw it as a FA cartridge til Ruger chambered the Super Blackhawk for it. The Taurus jumped on. You pretty much just lost the Taurus option which is probably the worst of the lot. But Taurus drops models often any way. Maybe T/C dropped 454 too and H&R/NEF...

CowboyTutt

I'm a bit shocked to report this as its one of my favorite cartridges, but it seems manufacturers are moving away from it. Taurus used to make a Raging Bull and I think a Raging Hunter in 454 Casull, but it appears that is no more as they have upgraded to the 460 S&W cartridge in a new revolver. I w...

CowboyTutt

Really cool picture Scott, thanks! There is just something that inherently looks right with that bullet and cartridge! I looked up the date of manufacture of your gun, yours shipped in 2010 while mine was 2002. -Tutt
