    Greetings All, After a quick stock take in the handloading area I believe I am well placed to ride out the current shortages. Enough for the foreseeable future and in some cases a lifetime supply....

    Greetings Nick.m, I suspect you are over sizing your cases. This is likely to happen if you set your die down hard on the shell holder. See Pommy's post about shoulder bumping above. Belted cases...

    Greetings All, If hurling large chunks of lead through the air is the object, why not just buy a 45-70. Hodgdon has data with cast lead down to 700 fps with Trailboss (485 grain cast LFP with 8...

    Greetings Smallfoot, I thought that might be the case. Please be cautious however as squib loads can be very dangerous in shotguns or rifles for that matter. All the best. Regards Grandpamac.
