    Since you didn't get a manual with it, is your LW 1911 +P rated by its manufacturer? That would be handy information to have before ordering the ammo.

    You don't. You order them in the size you want. The gas checks are crimped on when the bullets are sized and lubricated.

    Before ordering, make sure you contact the seller and inform them that you will be loading whatever bullets you purchase in a lever-action. This is very important because the action lengths do vary a...

    I have around 20 stainless Colt 8 rounders that I've used for decades with only occasional spring changes. The followers are Devel, I mean CMC, and I regularly replace the springs with Wolff extra...

    Since I mentioned cast bullets, I'm especially focused on bevel base & boattail designs to avoid running afoul of the inner case taper. Not long ago I pulled down a bunch of cast 9mm reloads from...

    I wet tumble all cases with pins, using hot water, lemishine, and ArmorAll car wash with wax. I find the ArmorAlls wax keeps the cases from fingerprinting and tarnish in storage, loaded or unloaded....

    Hodgdons pressure barrel is 7.7 inches and is not identified as being vented. So their barrel is almost twice as long as yours and doesn't have a barrel/cylinder gap.

    Those are indeed "lube" dents in the shoulder. You are using far too much lube on the outside of your cases. It is not related in any way to the case brand. One thing you can do is wipe off the case...

    There is a 9mm design that I feel would work better than a wadcutter. NOE still lists the 135 grain 9mm "Ranch Dog" design in their moulds, but never seem to have them in stock. There are other...

    I'm really surprised by your choice of bullet weight for deer hunting with a carbine. You don't mention your velocities, but a 200 gr JHP at carbine velocities tends to be a bit 'splodey. If you're...

    I was close to buying a cannelure tool for this very purpose but it seemed like an unnecessary expense since I already cast almost all of my handgun bullets anyway. Still, if an inexpensive used one...

    Bullets made "hard cast" are simply made from an alloy rather than pure lead. Most commonly, pure lead is alloyed with a portion of pure tin and the resulting alloy will be harder than pure lead,...

    This pales in comparison to the Roy Rogers 56 shooters that I saw in movies as a kid.

    My bet is that they're there because people expect to see them on an optical pistol.

    No pun intended...

    One minor observation. Starline does have 32 H&R brass in stock right now but it's likely to dwindle quickly once the pistols start getting into people hands. some of you might want to get some brass...

    It only seems that way right now because we now have the internet, and back then we didn't. We all know how the internet works, you tell me something, and I post it somewhere for 20 people to read....

    One thing I noticed about Lucky Gunners 38 Spl tests is that the Federal GMM 38 wadcutters penetrated almost exactly the same distance regardless of whether they were fired from a 2 in. or 4 in....

    It probably does need a cleaning. I'd be surprised if there were any burrs raised on the internal pieces, Rugers internal parts are harder than the hinges of hell and I've never seen any that are...

    I favor thin grips on 1911s, and my all-time favorite has been a (discontinued) set of Navidrex fully checkered thins. I'd buy a lot more of them if they still made them.

    Liquid alox picks up and retains dirt and other debris. I've used it in the past on cast bullets but I stopped with it and went back to std cast bullet lubes until powder coating took over for me....
