I take it you found some bullet molds and brass for said caliber?

Ive got a few.

.452
Saco #130, 4 cavity with handles. .452, 185gr SWC
Lyman # 452460 1 cavity, .454, 200gr SWC

RCBS 45-201-KT (ACP)
RCBS 45-255-KT (Long Colt)
Lee 90489 HP, 225g Hollowpoint round nose 1 cavity

Are these 3 for .45?


Ayup. 2 for 45 ACP, one for 45 Long Colt.


OK.


54
Lee 54 caliber 380gr Maxiball/Conical

Sounds like a wrist-wrecker.


Its a rifle bullet for black powder guns.


Those I've shot have less recoil than modern rifles. I wouldn't have
had the bone bruise if I hadn't listened to the owner of the 20mm
long gun. He used cannabis sativa rope fusing to light the matchlock.
Anyway, I bruised the front side of my right deltoid due to the way he
had me hold my elbow out straight. I didn't think it kicked that much
until it hit the bone through the muscle. My pec would have shrugged
that off in milliseconds. I'll use my own instincts next time some
reenactor gives me instructions. sigh It was fun shooting a bigass
lead ball through a barrel previously used on a Vulcan cannon. It
gives me warm fuzzies.


That 54 Lee mold is available to anyone who needs it btw. I dont have
a 54 caliber and have no need for one. All my black powder rifles are
50, except for two which are 45 caliber and 36 caliber.

I should have at least 2 more 6.5 molds and at least one more .30..a
120gr for M1 Carbine..works great in the 3030.

There are a few there that I dont remember buying...
Strokes are a marvelous thing...really...sigh.

Just think, you got an inside look at Alzheimers, but you remember
that you don't know. I'm not sure which would be worse. Get good
nutrition. Maybe the synapses will reconnect.


Oh they have been doing just fine. I have few problems these days, but
I certainly have a smokey period in my memory from 2008-2011



I just loaded up 300 .41Magnums Found a 500 count box of 210gr Moly
coated SWCs. No idea where it came from.

What are SWCs?


Semi Wad Cutter. Probably the most effective lead bullet design for
use on tissue to targets.

Got it. I had wondered if you had reload molds for .45 wad cutters.


Full Wadcutters dont work very well in self loading pistols, hence the
SWC which does work fine in self loaders. Full wad cutters work just
fine in revolvers. There is one S&W auto that was designed for full
wad cutters..but they are pretty rare.


It looks like I stocked up. And the 2 molds..and 2 sets of .41 Mag
dies. I sent the 3rd set to one of the lads here, for a gun he never
owned .

Ever figure out why?


Of course. He needed it for the gun he doesnt own. G


I'm guessing he either wanted to buy one or shot someone else's.


What..you didnt read the various threads where we got rid of all our
guns and showed how we are now harmless, helpless individuals?

Its Twue!!


Now Im going through the vaults recording model numbers and serial
numbers of the guns I never owned.

Weird! Got any 1911s you'd never miss? Eek, I wonder how many caches
will go missing, unremembered. Some anthropologist a millenium from
now will say "And here was the armory for a city of perhaps 1,000..."


Got a few extras...but..Ill hang on to most of them. I added a few
more late last night if you havent checked the photo link I sent you.


No, I havent yet.


Keep watching, Im adding stuff so it will get pretty good sized over
the next month or so.


Got a decent database program Im plugging the data into and taking
photos of all the guns I never owned that will be rcorded on a DVD
and sent off to relatives for extra safe keeping.

Good idea.


A busy Saturday morning.

What's the word on those knife books?


Not a thing. Time to put out another request again. Thanks for
reminding me. Were you able to use anything I had posted?


All the PDFs were readable but none of the RARs were. And since you
forgot your password...


Never had a password for those. I checked and that site is down so I
will have to find other versions.

Ill keep adding stuff as I get it


Bueno. I see a Ragnar dir but no ragnar books.


Ill keep adding stuff as I get around to it. Ive been pretty busy
around here.

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
