Howdy ARB, welcome to the forum!

Now... test out some gun pictures!

I have and use a generator regularly. Need some more fuel though.

I cut myself on the charging handle slot... I took some sandpaper and removed the razor's edge.

If you only loaded 2 rounds in the cylinder, that could have locked it up. When only 1 or 2 rounds are loaded, the cylinder doesn't have even support during recoil.

My Blackhawk will do the same...

An old thread, but maybe my info will help someone else using the TL356-124-2R.

The top of the ears, sides of the ears, and sides of the upper grip frame will all need to be flushed. Start by putting 2 screws in, remove and file until pretty close. Then repeat but switch to...

I noticed I was shooting left when shooting 2 handed, what it turned out to be for me was the death-grip I was using with my offhand. I corrected my offhand technique, and my POI moved more to the...

It's similar to the 358311 but with a more defined front driving band, like the Himmelwright wadcutter.

Without other numbers, I'd say it was homemade by someone that purchased blocks from Ideal.

I've not tried wadcutters in my Winchester 92, but I guess I could load a few round flat bullets backwards and get an idea if they cycle. It'll feed any semi-wadcutters I've tried, so I wouldn't be...

I think the reason wadcutters aren't more popular in the 44 Magnum, is that, like the 357 Magnum, it's not considered a target cartridge. The 38 Special quickly became a target cartridge, and while...

Very glad that you had the knowledge and wherewithal to help her. Praise God!

I load mine, in 44 Magnum, at 22.0 grains W296. I worked the load up in a Super Blackhawk, but I currently am running it through a Winchester 92.

If ya think gas checks are expensive... price some jacketed bullets!

I normally use Sage's gas checks. I would like to get into making my own too, I just haven't come across a set of dies yet.

Win243 already quoted it, according to Saeco's catalog, wheel weight alloy will be 3% heavier than Taracorp Magnum alloy. Taracorp Magnum is identical to hardball.

Howdy and welcome to the forum.

I have the M-P 432-256- HG#503 in my catalog if it helps you.

Paper patching would require a slightly smaller bullet diameter so that the finished diameter...

Welcome to the forum!

Interesting old mould, thank you for sharing.

Definitely not a 358502, as that's a nose-pour design.

Very nice gun, and nice shooting too, especially that tighter group.

Immediately following fluxing with beeswax, for the first couple of casts, it seems that the melt flows better. Might, try that to get better fill out. even if you have to flux every 2-3 times to get...

This is some very interesting discussion, worthy of a 17 year thread revival!

I particularly am interested in the information floodgate shared, as it's exactly what I was looking for, thanks...

No offense meant, but there appears to be a lot with rounded bands - IE rejects.

I've never even heard of them, thanks for sharing.

I will second the recommendation of using a gas checked bullet when starting out. It will give you a baseline by which to judge other bullets later on.

Cool. I think you're the first person that I've seen that says they have one.

Glad to help any way I can.

Nice, thank you.

Pure lead casts smaller than any other alloy. So, having a mould that drops right at the needed size with another alloy will likely be too small...

I hope it'll be great for RCBS and Hodgdon both.
