What about the tens of thousands of once fired .223 cases that are being chopped and converted to the 300 Blackout? Hmmmm, 300 Blackout cases that have .223 stamped on the bottom. I'd better get one...

No need for additional help. I started re-loading last night and tested this morning. Found the perfect combination for my particular gun with the cast 245 grain 300 Blackout round with correct OAL...
I've ordered some of the bullets pictured below from Missouri Cast Bullets to try in my 300 Blackout but I have yet to find a powder range in anything this heavy. I have been using H110 for loads up...

I have a neighbor down the road that places his chronograph within 3 feet of his target and generally shoots at 100 yards. Says he wants to know the velocity when the bullet reaches the target, not...

Many of us cast a bit oversized for our 30-30 Winchester loads. My Marlin 336 likes a slug at .310 and is more accurate at that diameter.

For my situation the easiest back stop/lead collection device is a defunct refrigerator or freezer obtained for free from a local appliance store or neighbor who has had one go bad. Just lay it down...

Last year I bought 800 pounds of lead ingots from a scrap dealer at 1.00 a pound and he was buying at .55 per pound and would not budge on his prices no matter how much volume you wanted to sell or...

Tonight on our local PBS station a fellow had a clock on the Antiques Road Show that was very old and stated that some of the weights inside were replacements since the original lead weights were...

I agree the government wants control of everything but blacking out ones logo for a day is about as effective as pi**sing on a house fire.

I have used a small electronic scale for years and weight out every charge of powder after it is dispensed from a Lee powder dispenser. Every once in a while the loads being weighed come out a...

I load a lot for my 30-30 with H4895 and the charge you are using I believe is considered a "cowboy" load which in my experience is very aneamic past 50 yards. Most of my better loads using H4895...

I know this is probably a "un-answerable" question. Here on a casting/re-loading forum one could get the impression that everyone that shoots guns casts and re-loads for them selves. The re-loading...
