The Powder Room - CAS reloading / Re: TRIPLE SEVEN
« Last post by Drydock on Yesterday at 08:27:52 PM »
Have used it for a number of years now. Fill to the base of the bullet with no more than light compression, and it will deliver consistant velocity and minimal, nom cumulative fouling. Velocity will be close to the standard spec for the caliber. Or a .38 spl 150 grainer will be around 800 fps. Standard primers and moderate crimp. Clean with plain water and oil as normal. Cases dropped in plain water will be clean and ready to load after drying.  You will need to use bp lubed bullets for best results.

I use an RCBS mold, 45-225-CAV and lube with SPG.  It happens to carry just about the right amount of lube in both 24-¼" rifles.  The one on the left is after hitting it with a 2-½ lb hammer.

The Darksider's Den / Re: Which rifle for BP?
« Last post by Griff on Yesterday at 04:05:37 PM »
All these newbies and new fangled ideas... I've been shooting the same 1873 Uberti 24-¼" rifle in 45 Colt since 1987.  BP is not a disadvantage.  I've sanded down the sides of the carrier to give me at least .015-.020" clearance on both sides and can shoot a 3 day match (12 stages) without interruption.  I load ~25 grains of Goex "Cartridge" or 2F behind a 225 grain bullet of wheel weights from an RCBS 45-225-CAS mold (truncated cone)... Neither do I anneal cases, unless I'm shooting APP, it seems to foul a little bit more than real BP... but I haven't used enough to say that with the utmost confidence.  As I've used APP mostly in C45S cases.

Water.  And what is the cleaning of guns between stages thing?  I clean guns between matches.

And 17 years later you still showing that old picture?   :)  You probably didn't even have a digital camera back then.  You do have one of those now, right?   ;D
Of course I have a digital camera, several in fact!  And that pic was taken with a digital.

 :) No, it ain't for me  ;)

An acquaintance who wishes to dabble in the Dark Side went looking for a Sub (APP) and some All Knowing Nitwit in a big box store sole him a couple pounds of 777 as it was "the same stuff."

Any you guys out there shooting 777 inna .38??  Gotta pet load to start with??

Most forgot:  Howz about 12Ga for a light CAS load??

 :) Yea, well Ballistol no longer contains Wale Oil.  Its makeup is primarily Mineral Oil, some acidic stuff, alcohol and Hydrogen Peroxide.  No water.  The stuff STINKS to high heaven.

For clean-up of Black Powder and Subs, I am a champion of PAM.  Equal parts of Hydrogen Peroxide, Denatured Alcohol and Murphy Oil Soap.  Works a treat.  Cleans quite well.  However, after cleaning I do apply Mobil 1 motor oil to lubricate and prevent rust.  ;)

For clean-up of Smokeless Powder, CLP.  I have found nothing better than CLP.  I happen to like "Break Free."  As done with BP and Subs, after cleaning I apply Mobil 1 Motor oil to lubricate and prevent rust.  ;)
