I made a resolution to reload more in 2016, as well as to post more in gun forums rather than buying things. So here goes:
I got two new guns to shoot, a Ruger SP101 in .357 and a Springfield XD in 45ACP. I've never loaded for an auto-pistol before, so this is a little scary. Also got a new press, a forster co-ax, so giving that a whirl.
1) 50 38 Special, 4 grains Unique over a 160gr Keith Style SWC. The bullets are from an NOE mold, can't remember the designation but a clone of one of the old lyman Keiths, I believe.
2) 50 45 ACP, 6 grains Unique over a 230gr Xtreme plated bullet. Should be good to go, fingers crossed that it works in the XD. Feeding pistols seems more complicated than revolvers, so I'm only cautiously optimistic
3) 50 45 Colt, 11 grains Unique over a 265gr cast RNFP. Another bullet from an NOE mold. Load data from John Linebaughs sight. Shouldn't blow up the gun, but I'll bring the beater Blackhawk just in case.
and finally, no weekend of loading is complete without:
4) 50 44 Special, 7.5 grains of Unique over a 255gr Keith Style SWC. The Skeeter load. I need to have thousands ready for when the zombies come.
So the Forster is a hoot to use. It's not fast, but it's easy and pleasurable to go through many different calibers and whatnot. I like the priming system. It all seems good. Though I seem to use a lot of Unique. I better buy more.

No loading today but cast 42lbs of .490 red balls. Got a buddy that wants a life time supply and thinks he needs 10,000 of them. I laughed but he has big,deep pockets and knows the price,!

The Duke's article on the Peacemaker Centennials got me itching to shoot my 44-40 again! Loaded up 100 rounds and hopefully I'll get to check the velocity this weekend - it shoots great with this load!  Bullet: Suter’s Choice 200 gr. RNFP (.428) Powder: IMR SR-4756 8.9 grs. Primer: Winchester Large Pistol Case: Starline 44-40 |

Yesterday I finished cast 490RB ended at 254 lbs ! Figured I needed 250 so with the leftovers was thinking of run them thru a 476 sizer and make some small game loads for the 475L. Any one done it beforehand?

No, but I like how you think. A 480 gallery load ! What does that RB weigh ? How do you seat it in the case ? In 44 I use a 135gr ball-et and fill the rest of the case volume with 9 shot for a buck'n'ball type loading.

Am thinking of a over powder wad cut from foam egg carton then a lube wad then the ball seated and crimped. The ? Is powder and how much?
