The "idiot" comment was disrespectful. We are better than that. We don't all have the same level of
craftsmanship. The effort is noteworthy.

What happens if you say something sarcastic in a sarcastic tone?
Sort of like a double negative. It means it is meant sincerely.

BINGO!

The chart on page 97 and the picture on page 99 in Metallic Cartridge Handloading is really useful here when considering substituting primers. -Tutt I've been reading/leafing through my recently acquired copy of Metallic Cartridge Handloading and would like to add my 2 cents.

Curious. Imperial Wax has been my go to lube particularly for forming from one caliber to another. RCBS lube such a
poor performer that I threw my bottle out. The Hornady One Shot has worked very well and is what I use for large
batches of cases. Just my experiences ....YMMV.

Just bought a copy of Metallic Cartridge Handloading and just leafing through it I'm impressed. Found a copy in a used book store
and have a new one still coming in the mail. Go figger.

I'm so confused. I don't know who's mad at who (or is it whom?). I DON't know when to use CAPS or bold. I DON'T KNOW WHO TO FLAME!! I suggest we ease up a bit and not take ourselves so serious.

Metallic Cartridge Handloading

OK I ordered me one.

Bullard4075

The special is a cartridge that is easy to load and to find a load that shoots well. It would be hard to find a load that won't do well in the special. I first select a bullet with a reputation for accuracy and a powder that is listed in several load manuals and is one I stock. Then the load develo...

Jeez Chuck don't go suggesting loads or you'll be beat to death with caps.

Bullard4075

I fired some 5.0 Red Dot loads today and they shot fine. This is a pretty nice revolver and much nicer quality than some of the stuff I saw coming from Ruger in the 90's. When I said I had the same revolver I was assuming the Lipsey limited run Flattop in 44 Special. I think if I was to be limited ...

Thanks gentlemen. I've been hoping for the best (one pass through the FL die) but planning for the worst. Like I said the 30-30 to 25-35 reform went one pass but this time I'm necking up. And I think it is Lee dies that he ordered. I will mention to him the 32-40 brass you found. He now has a Savage...

Bullard4075

Friend just bought a Savage 99 in 32-40. I've said I'd load for him. I plan to use 30-30 brass hoping it will be a one pass form like I just did 30-30 to 25-35 Win for him. 32 (.321) bullets being hard to find I would like to fire-form (if needed) with cream of wheat (after a pass through a 32-40 FL...

Been ichin to try IMR4227.

Bullard4075

Any of the previous three are dandy though 9 grains Unique a bit heavy. I have the same gun and anywhere between 6.5 and 7.5 of Unique will do any job the Special should be asked to do. 6.5 grains Unique is just plain perfect for 95 percent of anything I do. That being said trying different loads is...

Chuck 100 yd started it so I'll put in my 2 cents. As a kid my dad had a Gibson Model D garden tractor we used to grade a road and odd assorted tasks.

W231 (or HP38 which is W231 in a Hodgdon can) for the light loads (38 and 45 target), Unique
for midrange and 2400 for serious work.

Correction to my original post. This is actually a "Western Field Model 14M 491A", which is the store-brand of the Mossberg 46B, not 43. I must be getting senile! Anyway, as I stated, it is a tublar-magazine bolt action that shoots .22 Short, Long and Long Rifle. I purchased it off GunBro...

My pistol shipped today. Scheels stepped up and did a good job. They explained to me why they refused to ship
modified arms,not that I agree, but it's their company rules and I respect that.The gradual pacification of us through
silly rules is I think what bothers me the most.

This may all get resolved Monday. I'll try to post the results of where the pieces fall. Our Cabelas is turning
into a real sh*t hole , the only reason I go at all is to visit friends (I worked there 3 years) still there.

You havent said much about the circumstances. Is it from FFL to FFL? If so, US Mail is the least expensive. If its from you as an individual to an FFL, it probably has to go common carrier, like UPS or FED Ex. I dont believe its legal to ship a handgun individual to individual for any reason. An FF...

IMR3031 and I would sure consider Varget.

I did a search and did not find a complete answer. I am shipping a pistol to another on this forum. Realizing the rules are stricter for pistols I request opinions (within the law!) of what has worked for you.

BrentD : PS. Bullard, the .40 3.25" case is not an authentic Sharps chambering. No original Sharps were made with 3.25 chambers in any caliber.

Mike V reminds this ad nauseam.

Me still thinks this would make a nifty elk,moose, etc round.

After many years (and animals) with a Shiloh Sharps Montana Roughrider in 45-70 I have a strong yearning for the same in 40-90-370 Sharps Straight (3 1/4). Much negative has been cast at this cartridge which makes it more the challenge.
Any with experience to share?
