   I have caught a few in the Temuka river over the years when I was flyfishing for trout. Above the Waitohi/Temuka bridge. Saw them as they were swimming up, quick change to a tiny nymph and cast to...

   bluecod1967 liked post by Makros On thread : 44-40 Lee Size die issue for Pistol

   Later thought; given how thin and easy to size 44-40 brass is to size I'd be tempted to size the brass sitting on top of the shell holder, this will allow sizing all the way to the rim, then knock...

   Sometimes you can end up with a super hard bit of grit in the die wall, giving them a clean and wiping a cotton ball around inside the die might show where it is if it catches a bit of fluff...

   I think the smaller flash hole is a plus but the S&B just weren't as good as the WW SX plus I have a lot of the Win cases.

   My Savage 32/20 wouldn't perform with cast boolits. I tried several weights and several brands including factory Starline. Barrel is VG+. Swapped to 100gr Hdy XTP HP and got excellent results at 50...

    S&B Hornet cases have a smaller flash hole than WW or RP. That is the problem. Standard Hornet dies de-capping pins jam in the S&B flash holes. I found that some de-capped OK, just, whilst others the...

    Nice grouping. Always satisfying to get a good result out of a Hornet. I've got 2 Savage Model 23 rifles. One in 22rf and one in 32/20. I just missed a 25/20 (23B) in an auction a few years back....
