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

That's got to be a fun shooter. Probably the catalyst for quite a few range conversations.

.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....

I never heard of it. Looked it up on line and here Franne has a tin of it for the dog rashes. Sure does soften your skin.
