32 Long Colt 90 gr. heeled style bullet, outside lubricated. Works well in my 1907 New Pocket/Pocket Positive transitional model.

.45 ACP. Getting a short supply. Started this Sunday morning and didn't get very far. I've only loaded 200 gr lswc for quite a while. Maybe I should get another bullet type just for variety. Maybe something wild and radical like 230 gr round nose.

30/30 rounds, nice flat head and gas checks, build up the pressure and a few more grains of powder too.

327 Federal magnum; got three revolvers in that chambering to feed now. I cast Lyman 311316, size .313, gas check and load over a maximum charge of A#9. Great cartridge and I like the guns too.

You guys that cast your own, is there different lubes that you use for different temperatures? I'm wondering about this because I am thinking about pre-lubing my 22 rimfire barrels. Probably 200-250 degrees is what I'm looking for.

K45: I don't really know, what I watch for is the Loob "star" at the muzzle. If I get that star it means that I have sufficient loob to last the full term of the rifling with excess to pass on out. I've never been particular about types of loob, I buy commercial loob sticks at gun shows and bargain shelves at gun stores, I've never gotten excited about it, but then I don't push 95% of my shooting hard. I was casting 360271 for my newly acquired Regulation Police(1920ish) a couple years ago, didn't have a .360 sizing die so I pan loobed as cast. I mixed equal parts scented candle and Bag Balm, worked surprisingly well. It's ain't rocket science but I have been very lucky with some of my home concoctions, only had a couple complete failures; and of course I didn't record them so I'm doomed to try them again, sometime!!!

40 S&W today. My grandson wanted some low recoil loads for his Springfield XD Subcompact. I had some plated flat point 165 gr bullets from Berrys. I loaded up some mild loads with several charge weights of Bullseye to try. Hopefully, they will be enough to cycle the action. We shall see....

Bag Balm, It never ceases to suprize me with what a person can do with that stuff!
