I get it's AI.  But this poster should take its own advice and find a relevant research topic.  Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Morning y'all.
Coffee and tea are hot.

Get 5" of white.

Here are the common challenges students face when writing a dissertation. 1: They struggle to find a relevant research topic that is easy to write and aligns with their interests. 2: Furthermore conducting a literature review and collecting information is also a big struggle for them. Hence the reason why they prefer seeking guidance from the Dissertation Help UAE service. 3: Balancing the dissertation along with personal commitments and other coursework is also challenging. They struggle to keep up with the deadline. 4: Facing writer's block, lack of motivation, and anxiety is also one of the reasons that students struggle with their dissertations.

I will try asking these questions again,

I am bring this posting back up, to find out what you and your friend decided, on how to load the 32-20 casings.

What bullet mold did you go with and what dies or tool are you using?

Have you been able to shoot the rifle since first posting?

Just interested in how this project is going for you both.

BRS, revisiting this thread, I don't see the reply I had written- must have lost it in the process and in my cursory looks missed that all this time. My sincere apologies. There's no update to give though- we haven't gotten back to the .32. I will check in and give an update if we do. Thanks for the interest.

Mine would be January 20, 1981.  I was a freshman in high school sitting in a study hall I did not want to be in, but I did not want to be in the 2nd semester of typing either.  I took enough to get to computer programing.    They announced on the PA the Iranian Hostages had been released.  To the credit of a bunch of self absorbed teenagers, the resounding cheer and applause of ~425 high schoolers shook the building.  Later in the day we all went to the gym and they wheeled in 3 tvs and we saw them get off the plane.  You could see some looked rougher than others, so you knew who had been a PITA to the POS terrorists that kidnapped them. 
To Major's point, what if Carter's rescue attempt had worked.  He probably would have gotten a 2nd term.  Reagan may never have served, Given his age was an issue.  Lots to ponder on that trail of thinking. 

I did not feel old until i was in Grad school working on my MBA and i had to explain what had happened because Argo was at the theatres and my costudents did not understand.  When I mentioned being a freshman in study hall, i got not one, but two entreaties to Jesus wanting to know how old I was. 

Quote from: 9245 on December 19, 2024, 08:44:17 AMJust trying to avoid buying another die if I can help it.  I'm open to suggestions.

I'm using Swiss.  I have both 3F and 4F.

Nice, I've shot a ton of Swiss 3f loads and enjoy it. I also have been cheaping out on a compression die so far and have been using a homemade plug in a Lee body.

I am almost certain this plug would work in the Lee expander die you already have, despite the blurb about 2-7/8" cartridges. Might be worth a try:

Quote from: Cap'n Redneck on December 19, 2024, 11:25:06 AMIt has been stated by BPCR Silhouette shooters that Swiss does not respond as well to heavy compression as Goex does.

Actual range-testing with your own gun and your own loading components will tell.

Personally I'd take "sub-sonic" accuracy over "super-sonic" scatter-gun patterns anyday.

I agree to a great extent. Fortunately, it seems we don't have to make that choice in this case- John and Bryan were both able to get 4" and smaller 10 shot groups with their heavily compressed Swiss loads, sometimes much less. I get 4" groups as well, out of my Uberti '73. Not sharpshooting by any stretch, but a good balance of power and accuracy for deer out to 100 yards or so. After all, the .44WCF is not really a BPCR contender, though John played around with 300 yard shooting quite a bit.

Quote from: Sedalia Dave on December 19, 2024, 11:14:33 AMExcellent historical data on the 44 WCF.

Never saw that first one before.  Thanks!
