I hunted with my Ruger Super Redhawk in .454 Casull and 4X Leupold LER scope. I shot the .300 grain Hornady XTP mags bullets (reloads) and it drops elk, deer, antelope and black bear with authority. I bought the Rossi 92 in .454 several years ago and it took the performance to a new level. I know there are a few bigger “handgun” rounds out there… but the .454 Casull is all I need. If I want to hit a little harder, I built me an XP-100 with a 14-7/8” barrel in .358 Winchester. Both are more than my 64 year old hands like these days from a handgun.
Been reloading for 10 years after watching a lot of your videos that long ago.
Well how about that, now I know the M855A1 and M80A1s granpappy🤔
DAYUM! I have over 3,000 rounds of reloads! I load a bit less 1/2 gr or 1 gr, powder than the specs call for.🤞!
255gr lee bullet hitting low in my 5.5 inch SAA. Uped my Unique load 1gr. is all it took. The faster the bullet leaves the gun the less rock up the muzzle climbs during launch.
it is possible to look at things differently... If the revolver jams at the moment the bear attacks, the owner has solved all his problems, forever😊
Steve, good subject. - Dave
A great series, FC! 🤛🏻🔫🇺🇸
Nice I love these cartridges
Cup of coffee and a new fc45 video. Great day.
Great videos! I have a question as I'm just starting to reload pistol, specifically 38 special. I was gifted a box of old Speer #4605 Wadcutters. It's a little tough to find loads for this bullet, Speer #13 has a few loads but to me seem a little heavy (4.5-5.1 hrs unique ) just looking for plinking. I tried the 4.5 grain and got 840fps with a Ruger Blackhawk 5.5". My "ken waters pet loads" book has some loads he developed using 3.7 grain unique which he notes seating flush to case mouth. The bullet does have a crimp grove which id prefer to use. Any idea where I could get anymore load data for this bullet? I have many manuals but all newer. Thanks for all that you do!
Thanks again for sharing you knowledge with your audience. Greatly appreciated!
Not enough lube for length of barrel. You should have a lube star on the muzzle
I have developed blackpowder loads for all my straight wall handgun and rifle cartridges and my 30-30
Did you use blackpowder lube? I just asked about powder coat ing then lubing bullets for blackpowder cartridge. Is there any advantage?
What's the general consensus on this press? I'm still on an old rock chucker and thinking of picking one up.
Cant get one ok do what i did sand cast them .and spoon the ball to clean it up they work just fine.great show it's appreciated.
I caught a Special at MidwayUSA and bought 2 boxes of .357 Magnum for $10.00 each! I haven't shot it yet but it looks really good.
Such a great gun with terrible grip.
I believe I’ve found over a hundred pounds of Linotype (in printing bar form). I’ve only purchased twenty pounds so far and would like to know for sure that it’s the real deal before I buy any more. It is for the most part thin bars 4”-5” in length and most are about 1/8” thick. Some are only 1/8” thick at the top part (where the letters are) and the bottom part tapers down thinner with ribs spaced approx 1” apart. I melted some of it down this evening and it starts to melt at 450*, but is still a little sludgy. It is pretty well completely melted at 525*. I melted a few pounds of it to further verify it’s Linotype. Here’s the part I’m unsure of. If a 1/8” bar of pure lead were bent/flexed it would do so without breaking or snapping in half. The bars that I brought home yesterday(with writing on them and some that still have ink on them) will snap if you try to bend them at all. They are very hard and pretty much will not flex or bend like pure lead. The fact that they are almost brittle is what has me wondering. Understandably, they wouldn’t be as soft as pure lead, but should they snap in half when trying to bend them? Does that sound like how the Linotype you have had your hands on would react to bending? Just so you know, I’ve been casting for low velocity pistol loads (45acp, 38special, 9mm) for about two years now, but with none of my lead exceeding the hardness of wheel weights. I had never even seen a piece of Linotype in person before yesterday, if in fact that is what I’ve found. I also used my lead pencil set and could not put a scratch in the bars I melted down until I worked my way down to an “H” pencil, which according to the chart should put it at 20-22 bhn. So, would you believe this is Linotype or is there any possibility of thin bars with writing on them being anything else? Thank you in advance for your help
The whole video series has disappeared
Ballard rifling for me 👍👍
unique and 150 gr. flatnose lead , or 110 gr, fmj's , 22 lr velocity and 22 LR recoil , rainbow ballistics , but easy on the weapon , excellent chance to learn bullet physics , unlike tv shows.
How do you feel about the goofy piece of plastic that the priming arm contacts? Seems like a wear issue.
Is there room to put screw in from other end? Put vortex on top

In my 20's I was all about the military stuff. Well when I got $1200 back from taxes (2013 stimulus maybe?) I bought a 130 yr old Marlin Mod.1893 30-30. I had to source some bits here and there to repair it but after 3 test shots with it behind the shop, I was in love. These leverguns/revolvers stole my heart. Lookin to get into 44-40 next. They just feel so good in the hand man
Thanks i was confused about these dies and what they do
Crazy mine always shot in the zeros should have kept it
Another great video.Thanks for sharing.
I've found them stocked at Armes Bastille in Paris, France
Another great video.Thanks for sharing.
Long ago I figured out that scrounging scrap lead, wheel weights etc of unknown composition and making a usefull alloy out of it wasnt worth the time and labor involved, not when I can buy a known alloy with certs from Rotometals for $20 per 5 lbs. I've never had a problem with it.
I wasn't able to find a Model 29 until 1983 thanks to that movie.. when I did, it was a model 29-3 with a six inch barrel. And yes, I still have it. It is a joy to take to the range.
Okay so I have been thinking about this. And some are saying if you go .2 thousand over cylinder size. Your going to induce extra where on the cylinder of that revolver. Possibly causing accelerated end shake.
I have been handloading since 1973 and currently handload for 81 different cartridges. I also cast at least one bullet style for every cartridge I load for. For all of the revolver cartridges I cast at least one Keith type SWC. I also use them in some cast bullet handloads for rifles...such as reduced loads in .35 WCF and .405 WCF. Great, useful and accurate design.
What's really nice about the .41 Special is many ranges, especially those with handgun steel plate shooting, do not allow magnum loads. So for years I couldn't use my M-58, even though I used SWC Rem. and Win. Police loads which are about 959 fps. All because the Magnum stamped on the cases.
Hi there what is your total length in the 9mm double ridged bullets?
Never owned or shot a .41
Thank u sir for an excellent product review
I need some of those rounds where do I get them
How heavy is that?
These are heritage firearms.Built and designed to last a lifetime with an ,If fits it ships" attitude.Great video and thanks for posting.

Last year I purchased a 1949 K38 Masterpiece that truly was a masterpiece! I bought it for $700 and it was literally in perfect condition. I reloaded a batch of PC WC 148gr using 3.8gr of Hp-38. Btw, I use a MEC Marksman and load very carefully so I'm positive it wasn't a double charge. I ran about 25 rounds through it and it shot beautifully. I pulled the trigger on the next round and it exploded in my hand. I was literally in shock as it was LOUD and blew the top 3 cylinders apart. It bent the top strap up but didn't break it. I theorize that it was detonation, especially after watching this! I would think however that HP-38 would be slow enough powder for the round? I have another batch loaded with Titegroup, I guess I'd better not fire those in any of my 38's!
Great video!!! Thanks for sharing!
