I have holsters from him, he does good work!

Try Whyte Leatherworks in San Jose & see if he can accommodate you.

No & no

Been powder coating bullets for a few years now. I used clear matte powder so the bullets look normal. Since I cast my own bullets for competition, the process is no more difficult than lubing the bullets.

“Try it Liberty, just try it!”

Checking to see if anyone has an old 44-40 sizing die laying around. I want to grind off some of the bottom and wanted to check used in case I screw it up! Thnx, CC

Hornady makes a 225 gr for 45 Colt. The 185 gr is basically for the 45 acp, so the bullet doesn’t have a cannelure. Take care that the crimp you put on it is sufficient.

I’ll take them, pm otw, thnx

I’m so sorry to hear about Augustus. Your loving tribute to him is a powerful, warm reminder of your deep caring for him & you have my sincerest condolences.

I’ll take 4 bags of mixed if still available, thnx

I’ll take #5 the Murphy holsters, I’ll send a PM

I pretty much cast for all of my pistol calibers. Started powder coating about 3 years ago when I was shooting steel challenge with my 45 acp & had great luck with it, so when I started Cowboy Action shooting I powder coated those bullets as well. I use clear powder so they look like natural lead. I use the shake method, bake them in a convection oven & size then through my star lubri- sizer. Alway have good results. Another benefit of using multiple colors is that if your working up a load, you can use different colors for different powder weights and for different powders. I cast my own bullets because I can get the exact weights I want & close to the bullet diameters I want. (Gotta tip my hat to Tom at Accurate Molds as he will cut you pretty much any bullet you want & the mold quality is one of the best!) I currently shoot 44-40 & 38 Spl but just ordered a 38-40 mold because I just bought a pair of pistols from Reverend Ledslinga! I suppose I could shoot bullets “as cast” but like knowing that what I shoot has been sized for uniformity! I enjoy this part of the shooting sports, knowing that what I shoot is produced by me from start to finish. Kinda makes you even proud of your misses! Lol
