Re: Reloading for a 43 Spanish RB

Just an update since I posted this. I loaded 10 rounds with BP, and also 10 rounds with AA5744 and IMR4198. Chronographed them for comparison, and was expecting to see a tighter group with the BP. All 30 rounds were right in the mid 1300 to 1400 fps range. All three patterned at about Small Dinner P...

Re: Reloading for a 43 Spanish RB

The bullet mold will be here tomorrow. The one's I shot came from Western Bullet, and I have no idea what alloy or hardness they are. I'm not stunting the Western Bullet either, as I've shot their button nose wad cutter in .45 Colt, and haven't found anything more accurate. I'll drop some with the L...

Reloading for a 43 Spanish RB

After much frustration searching various forums, until my head hurts, I’m bringing my question here to hopefully find advice that doesn’t scare me.

He transitioned to jewelry smithing in the mid 70's, and took quite a long break from guns, then started back on the guns in his late 60's to a degree none of us even knew ab...

Re: The Creedmoor's

Marlinman93, I greatly appreciate your response and taking the time. (especially since I see you didn't join yesterday like I did...smiles) I was going to update this a few days ago, but I wanted to clarify a few things about the rifle I discovered before I did. Mike Alsop reached out to me by phone...

The Creedmoor's

In an effort to possibly narrow down a rifle I have, I recently joined the Remington Society, in hopes of going straight to the source on the information or opinion that I need. A while back, I sent Mike Alsop and email regarding said rifle, hoping the powers that be here may help, particularly Roy ...
