I have been seriously looking at Ranchdog moulds lately and was wondering how well they shoot out of the T/C single shots.

I have a 15" 30.06 and a 21" 30-30 barrels. If anyone has some experience with these rounds with RD's I'd like to know how you liked them.

Thanks in advance.

UNFORTUNATELY Ranch Dog won't have any of the 30 caliber moulds available until June 2009, per the web site. I don't have one AND just bought a 30/30 MARLIN...D--- the luck!

I have used the TLC 432 265 in my MARLIN Cowboy rifles and assorted RUGER revolvers. I just cast the first bunch out of the TLC 359 190 yesterday...only problem is the mould is a 2 cavity and I'm spoiled with 4 or 6 cavity moulds for pistol boolits and higher production rates.

Thanks EDK,

I saw that there won't be any moulds available from Ranch Dog until June or July, I like the looks of them as a hunting Boolit and was hoping someone would let me know how well they shoot in the single shot guns.
