I’ve got molds for 230 grain lead bullets for my 1911, but I don’t have the time to start casting right now. I’m looking to work up a load, so that when I do start casting I can start making ammo too. So I’m looking to purchase a small quantity of lead 230 grain bullets, FP preferred, but I’d work with RN or SWC. Just looking to get an idea of what works best for lead in the 45 ACP, I’ll fine tune once I cast my own.

Mounted then put in safe. Took the wife out to try and shoot today and her arms are too short, the side saddle and shells drag her arm and sleeve when working the pump, so taking it off. So, has been mounted , but basically new. Still have packaging and will include 2 12 gauge snap caps. Fits the 500, 590, and Maverick 88. $20 or trade for ammo or some of the Velcro shotgun cards, that way I could take them off when she shoots.

Don’t know which part of the state you’re in, but Academy has 18.5 inch Mavericks for $199 and 20 inch with extended magazines for $229. Heck of a deal considering they take all of the 500 and most (if not all) of the 590 parts.

Metal framed and SAO. Modern take on 1911? At least it is different. I like it.

I dunno about this thing. It feels like an answer to a problem no one asked. Capacity is king these days, so I get the logic, but was another new cartridge necessary? Who am I to say? I thought the .327 Federal Mag was needless, but it seems to have hung on, and I even catch myself eying one every once and a while. For the .327 it makes sense, 6 rounds in a small revolver that otherwise holds 5. In that sense, 6 is a lot more than 5, but in the case of the 30 SC is 12 really a lot more than 10? Where it might get interesting for me is if they can cram 15 rounds in a standard sized Hellcat or P365. That would be a meaningful jump.

Your Kel-Tec well loved by its new home.

I have a great condition Glock 20, has Ameriglo Night Sights and a Lone Wolf stainless barrel. I went to an upgraded barrel for better chamber support but can include original barrel if I can find it. Can also include an IWB holster. It’s a great package, but I recently got a Glock 29, so I’d like the extra velocity of the longer barrel. Also, I could press the 20 into a CCW role, but no longer need that option as I’ve got the 29.

I know this is an old thread, but curious what you went with. I’m constantly seeing .450 Bushmaster ammo on shelves, even at Walmart. I went with .50 Beowulf, for no reason other than I just wanted a .50 cal AR. It’s hard to find ammo for, hard to reload for, and hard on the shoulder, but it does put a smile on your face.

I’ll take it. PM inbound.

Agreed.

Only ammo I have ever had a bad experience with was a brand called Maxx Tech. I tried 9, .40, and .45 in multiple guns. I could never get it to cycle the slide reliably and got occasional bad primers. I have my preferences, but I’d trust my life to almost any ammo you can find, other than Maxx Tech.

Any interest in selling the ammo alone?

Ok. I picked up some powder from @RED333 offline. I’m offering up some Cast Performance bullets. The sticker has been peeled off these, but they’re 320 grain .430 hard cast gas checked bullet. Full-ish box. I counted 98, but I don’t swear to that, once I count off my fingers and toes it’s all in my head, and I don’t know what’s going on in there most of the time.

Title says it all. Prefer H4350, any size. Would also consider Varget.

I’ve been loading on Lee gear for years with no issues, and I’m able to produce 1/4 MOA loads. I use a turret press, but if I had it to do over again I’d go with a progressive. I can also recommend the challenger kit that DO-TN recommended. You get a press, plus’s most of the other stuff you need. As you start reloading you will find where you may want to invest in better quality stuff, and some places where the basics are OK. I’d also keep the press for loading rifle stuff as that is usually done in single stage anyway.

Looking to sell this AR. It is an Aero lower and LPK and a factory built PSA 14.5 inch upper. Compensator pinned and welded by PSA. Comes with Troy Ind. battle mag and flip up sights. $500

Any flexibility on price?

Also, PM’d you last week.

I’ll take second dibs on it. Need a back up hunting rifle for hunting with my wife.
