I'm shooting Lyman's 31141 cast out of 50/50 WW/Pb. Over 22.0 grains of AAC 2015. I use a Large Pistol primer usually WLP. It's accurate out of my peep sighted Revelation 30-30. I would not...

Thanks to all for the information. I made up 5 dummy loads today with Remington Brass and solid cast 311284 to function test. they feed from mag to chamber and eject properly. The feed ramps do...

That Lee 358-125-RF has worked well in all of the 9mm's I have tried it in. I have not kept a Glock long enough to reload for it, so YMMV.

Any experience?
From what I have seen heavy 30 cal. out of the 300 BLK tend to just bore through tissue. I'm thinking a split nosed boolit, cast hard would stand a chance of fracturing and...

157104Daytona Tactical 16" SS upper in 300 BLK. Leopold 1-4X HOG scope in Burris mounts. Has digested Hornady 110gr Zombie Max and Remington 220 gr subsonic ammo with glee so far. Eventually it...

That's the boolit I run in my 9mms. I use blue Dot, and it works fine.
The only 12 gauge I reload are slugs, buckshot and Turkey loads. I can buy ammo off of the shelf cheaper than loading. In 410 and 16 gauge, I can save money by reloading.

No offense, but some of you seem to be going to a firefight, not a hunt. When hunting big game, I'll have a loaded magazine (4 rounds) and 6 in a butt-stock shell carrier and the same for coyotes,...

I have been shooting Lyman's 311284 out of both my Krag and my '06. It kills Mule deer and Rocky Mountain Elk just fine. I cast them out of air cooled wheel weights and push them at 1700 FPS to...

Personally, I have been throwing Lyman's 311284's out at 1800 - 2200 FPS and killing Elk with regularity from either a Krag or my '06. So, I think the OP should do well on bear. As to chronographs...

I recently bought a Lee Improved Minne for my T/C Renegade in 58 cal. I hope to cast some up and try it out soon. It does not like any of the Lyman variations, nor the Lee target or traditional...

44 Spcl. cylinder length shot shells from 30 US Army brass. 7.62 X 54R to 209 primers, back when boxed primed cases weren't available. Happened about the same time.

I shot Revolver class silhouette with that bullet out of a Super Blackhawk for a few years. 12.0 Gr of Unique toppeled rams quite nicely. The only "game" I ever shot with it was a doe Mule Deer hit...
I have been loading Trail Boss (7.0 gr) under Lyman's 429667 in R-P cases. I really like it out of my 4" Redhawk for play loads.
I have been loading Lyman's 429667 bullet over 7.0 grains of Trail Boss for approx. 850 FPS in R-P magnum cases, Win LP primers, and fired out of a 4" Redhawk. Pretty much duplicates the 44 Special...

I guess calling my meat rifle the 06 isn't much interesting, but that's what I always take when I go hunting "for real"

I used a Winchester M70 in 257 Roberts in Africa. I just fell in love with the round. I did not like the Winchester's 20" barrel. I won't own another Ruger rifle, so of the manufacturers left who...

I'm looking at buying a Kimber "Montana" any reviews? It will be chambered in 257 Roberts. I may run some 257-85-cowboy RCBS boolits through it, but mostly it will be my Coyote, Antelope, Deer...

I have taken Several Rocky Mountain Elk with Lyman's 311284 out of my Krag. the 308 winchester can match that velocity, so should work just as well.
Forum: Hunting with CB's
In My '06, I shoot 165 Hornady's over IMR 4350. As for cast, I shoot Lyman's 311284 over AAC 5744 for >2000 FPS and it kills Elk just fine.
