Where you been? Hope all is well! Must of recorded a bunch of videos over the spring and summer and dumped them during the winter? Anyhoo, I really enjoy your channel and hope you make more videos in the future.

[@oldranger3044]

Right, did quite a bit of shooting in the summer, and figured there would be time in the winter when it would be too D**n cold to do much else. At least I was right about that. O.R.

[@jamesgarland4990]

It IS too D**n cold to do anything else! Hoping for warmer weather here to get back to shooting! @@oldranger3044

Your not using a 454 RB in your normal loads?

[@oldranger3044]

Correct. I use the 451 Lee cast with wads or lube in most of my 44’s. Exception are the colt 2nd gens where I will use the 454. If using the 451 I would recommend using wad, lube or something to prevent gas from getting by a possible defect or incomplete seal along the chambers side. O.R.
