Thank you for "honchoing" this group buy.

doubs43,
Thanks for being so specific and answering my every question. You have provided me with a wealth of information. Thanks too for your good wishes. I will be in touch and post my results as...
MSG,
I tumble lube a lot of bullets, including the Lee 358-140-SWC. In fact, it's one of my favorites because it's easy to cast good boolits, especially when using two moulds at a time as I do. ...

Hey GabbyM,
Again thanks. Lyman tells me that they spec'd the bore to .378". I have some Meister bullets given by a friend. They mic .3795" and if Lyman is correct should do fine. I have .380...

doubs43,
Thanks to you for the info. Lyman (to no one's surprise) recommended that 378248 bullet, saying it performed well in their testing.
Did I read your load data correctly for 231 - 2.5...

Crash corrigan,
Thanks for the input. I've been to Big Timber and visited the Shiloh Sharps and C. Sharps plants. Got the royal tour and was very impressed with the workmanship. Old world style...

GabbyM,
Thanks for the picture and the advice. May I ask your alloy and what the expanded boolit struck. I hope it was a big buck and you got speed beef in the fridge now. And should you care to...

Trey45,
Thanks for the info. Looks like I'd better drag Ken Waters out of the bookcase and do some reading.
The info on the .30-30 having been adapted from the .38-55 is interesting. That is...

Blackpowder man,
Thank you also for your input, especially regarding seconding the Lee mould suggestion. Also, I like 3031 for cast in the .30-30 and find it accurate in 20.5 grain charges behind...

excess650,
I noted that discrepancy too, but chalked it up to rifle weight vs shipping weight. The rifle in the hands of the guy from GunsAmerica looks like a BB gun size. I definitely won't be...

trey45,
I meant to ask you about the case length you use. I note Starline has both the 2.080" and the 2.125", which you use. Why? Is it solely determined by chamber length? What are the things I...

Green Frog,
Thank you also for your input. Great forum and wonderful cooperation! I like the idea of light loads. I'm 66 years old with bad shoulders (one repaired) and I don't really like a lot...

Trey45,
Thank you for your input. I will follow up with that mould and your suggested loads, though I probably won't hunt with it; I just want to shoot target and do load development.
I queried...

BTW excess650 and anyone else note the link to a GunsAmerica video in the original post, which I edited and updated with that link ( http://www.gunsamerica.com/video/19/188.htm ) as well as the info...

Thanks excess650; I appreciate the information.
For starters, though I cast for about 40 calibers, I don't have a mould for a .38-55 and so have ordered 500 Oregon Trail 240 grain RNFP plain base...

I broke down and ordered the Lyman Sharps in .38-55 today. I saw an advertisement in Rifle magazine this last issue. I find it is made by Chiappa. Here is a link to a GunsAmeraica video....

2. a 2-cavity with 1 PB and the other 1 GC

Landric,
While searching for .38 Special and .357 Magnum loads for a 200 grain swaged Winchester RN at .362" diameter (I think originally intended for .38 S&W-I happen to have about 1200 of them),...

I have used that bullet in my old M98 (scoped) and have had great success with it, sized to .323" getting 3/4 inch groups of ten at 55 yards over the hood of my truck, consistently, and 2 1/4 inch...
