I loaded some 45 ACP, 45 LC and 44 SPCL over the last couple of days. I'm taking a rest today. Going to the range tomorrow to shoot 'em all up!
Jake

Sounds like a load of fun!

Nice 40-S, I have the same aluminum funnel with about the same dents. Who made the 405s?

6 packs of 100 Nosler 44 caliber 240 gr JHP BLEMS arrived from Shooter's Pro Shop .... they will be packed for our June trip to South Dakota .... I hope to be able to load them for use while we are traveling

Been loading up the 45/70 bullets I got today. Trouble is, once I get that done, I have to go out & empty some brass & start over again.
It's a dang rotten job, but some bodys' gotta do it. Right?

Use to shoot 540gr Paul Jones Creedmore bullets with 68 grains of swiss 2FG. But had to pull that bullet out to the second grease groove to do it.

Al, who do you and forty get your bullets from, the Navy? Has to be a torpedo.

Durn, Al, I couldn't afford the powder for one of them.

Those are 45-100 Grunt. 87grs of 1FG and thats the 540 grain Paul Jones Creedmore bullet. cast by yours truly when I was still casting bullets.

RnG yes sir the pugnose MC bullets are great for 357 thanks to Rifletom. Probably will be my primary load for 357.

Post by **runnin n gunnin** » Fri May 22, 2020 10:57 am

RT turned me onto MB, love the 405 grn Buffalo, the .45 Cowboy #1, and the 180 grn .357 Strikers. I have not tried the pugnose yet. Wanted to make a sample order of 100 bullets, but they are not doing the sample packs right now.

Post by **fortyshooter** » Fri May 22, 2020 12:48 pm

I got the 500's from Matt's Bullets and had about 20 left. Decided to try them with Black MZ powder.
Might get down to the range in a few days to try them out.

Post by **Grunt67** » Fri May 22, 2020 9:12 pm

Well, I'm all caught up on 45/70. Reckon I'll do some more
9mm, not that I need any, just because I can, LOL.

I cannot believe I'm out of empty .357 and . 45 Colt cases to load! Know what that means? Head to the desert or the range and empty some of those cases. Preferably the desert. Besides, I have a few .45 Colt loaded with BE -86 to try out. Never know!

Best way to get once fired brass. I know of. More fun too.
