  1. Hi,

    I’ve been getting into Gallery rifle. I see some of the guys wearing black leather bullet holders. They hold 6 pistol calibres rounds. I’m told there is a manufacturer in the UK that makes them but no one can remember his name. If you have some I’m interested or maybe you know the guy who makes them. Any help appreciated..

  2. Here’s the story…some while ago, I think during Covid boredom, I spotted an advertisement for a magazine that held a high number of rounds for the S&W 10-22. I think it was 40 or 35 rounds, way more than the 25 that the SW mag can take. I tend to load 20 in my mags as jamming occurs. The company was recognisable and UK based. I paid I think £50, not sure, but nothing since. I waited some time and emailed them. The reply said that the magazine was nearing its testing stage!!! and to be patient. I presumed that the magazine was ready to post.  OK. Now I can’t find any address or number to check. I’ve searched through my computer but can’t turn up a confirmation or anything.
    Does anyone know the company or bought as I did? 

     

  3. I reload lots of .38 Sp, .357 and .44 magnum with small gallery powder loads. Being able to see the powder down inside the case is important, and I’ve noticed new brass makes it easy. Old brass not so easy because of the sooty deposits. Would an ultrasonic cleaner remove the deposits inside the case? I load on a Lee Pro 1000 and I can get lovely shiny brass on the outside of the case with all the usual methods. Has anyone used an ultrasonic cleaner to do this? Don’t like the steel pins idea as it sounds like too much trouble but I'm interested in ultrasonic method. Anyone use that method?

  4. The Loadmaster priming is a challenge. It’s the only weak part of the design but you can do it. I see lots of reloading dudes on YouTube using it including ElvisAmmo so there you go. Good luck with it, but I sold mine after I gave it a good go.....and I’m a tinkerer. I went back to the Lee Pro 1000 for 9mm, 357, 45 etc. I don’t shoot 222/223 but I think the Pro 1000 can handle that calibre. I’ve spoken to many guys about reloading and the truthful ones will admit that Dillon and Lyman and RCBS can be a pain in the *** when priming.

    ps lots of Reloader's  prime separately.

  5. Vince,

    your reminding me of all the reasons I stopped casting bullets. Key holing is a nuisance and one that I never really solved. I retired the moulds for 9mm, 357/38, .45acp and .40sw and moved to copper wash or bought hard-cast lead. I download all my calibres now so that they just recycle the pistol or are just sufficient for revolver. I never hot load any calibre as there is no near. Leading is not an issue. I began casting again for a Parker Hale Volunteer and remembered how much fun casting can be. It was the present lock-down that has lead me to powder coating because I had the moulds, alloy bricks and an oven sitting unused. It’s the powder that’s holding me back. I’ve noticed that the powder is cheap so if I buy, and it’s no good, then no harm. I can’t believe that no one on PW is doing it or at least responded.

  6. I use Federal primers exclusively now and have never had a problem, ever. I shoot about 150/250 a month, rifle and pistol, depending. Or I did. The only time a primer exploded was a CCI large pistol primer and it set off 3 more in the Lee Pro Primer tray. I will never forget it.
