Thanks all!!! --D--

Thanks folks! --D--

Good Day: I usually shoot black Powder or APP in my rifle, but looking to make up 100 or so smokeless rounds. Starline .357 Magnum Brass, 125 grain Truncated Cone lead bullet, Bullseye, TightGroup, or Clays powder. Looking for a mild load Thanks in advance --Dawg

Gonna be good Summer weather at Tusco on Saturday! 80s with a bit of humidity, but NO RAIN! See ya there! --Dawg

Nice Pic!

FWIW, 357s run better in my rifles than 38s. 38s will run OK, but the .357s run smoother, so that's what I use in my 38/357 rifles. I save 38s for my 38-only rifles. I know many folks are sensitive to saving $$ where they can, but CAS shooters spend lots of coin to get quicker, smoother pistols, rifles, and shotguns. IMHO, for the average shooter, the ammo you run makes a bigger difference than much of what we spend to make our guns "match or competition ready" --Dawg

BTT

Thanks, everyone, for the kind words! Hope to see y'all at Tusco on the last weekend in September! --Dawg

Remember that the show is really for the peanut gallery. You won't really see it. I have been known to scrape the dried powder slurry off of sparklers, and add it to the BP in shells. That & using 1Fg powder gives a lot of flames/debris/colored sparkles out of the shotgun. If yer gonna use feathers, put them on top of the shot, not in with the powder. --Dawg

Sold -- Thanks! Hi: Like the title sez...... I have for sale a Lee 6-Cavity Round Ball Mould in Good Used Condition. A must for casting round balls for Colt & Uberti Navy (36 caliber) revolvers. Some other Italian Navy revolvers require .380 balls too. .375 round balls work in Piettas, but are too small for Colts & Ubertis, as well as some lesser-known brands. .380s work in all .36 caliber Navy revolvers In good used condition. I dropped it once on my garage floor -- a bit of cosmetic damage which does not affect function -- see image You will need a set of Lee Mould handles -- $50 Shipped USPS Insured, To You Paypal Friends & Family or personal check Thanks for looking PM with questions --Dawg

Anybody use these? Any issues with them? Will lightened revolver springs set them off? Thanks in advance --Dawg

I understand that some shooters are so focused that they don't want to get thrown off-guard by saying the line, so I'll accept "ready". Me? I'm just out for fun, and I think starting lines from my favorite movies add to the fun. If I can't remember the line, I frequently just say...."I call that mighty bold talk from a one-eyed fat man!" That describes me well, except that I do have two eyes! --Dawg

Hey JB: I once went into a Walmart immediately after hunting season, and they were closing it out for $5 a bottle, so I bought everyone they had. Used it exclusively in my shotgun (TTN Double). It worked fine, and as long as I cleaned it pretty soon afterwords, and went back a bit later and checked, like Abilene said, everything was good! Every now and then, I come upon a bottle or two for cheap, and I pick it up. As I always say....The Shotgun will digest anything! --Dawg

Thanks! --Dawg

Good Day: I was given 6 unopened bottles of Alliant Black MZ black powder substitute. I normally shoot real black powder, and would appreciate some guidance using this stuff. I will use it for 38 Special and 12 Gauge Shotgun. Questions: Special bullets? Compress? or to the base of the bullet? Especially corrosive to brass or brass guns Anything else I need to know? Thanks in advance --Dawg
