Are you sizing your home cast bullets?

For back yard critter removal, 7gr Promo tuft of dacron 310 round ball

Tripplebeards Nice old school Remington. Congrats on the harvest

Started about 1980 pouring round balls. The beginning of a life long addiction. Don't ever start. See you at reloadaholics anonymous meetings.

30-30 cast can do what you are looking for. My experience with cast in Marlin 30-30 microgroove has not been good. A Savage /Stevens bolt gun in 30-30 might be just the thing. Sadly, I traded...

You can substitute 38 Special brass with no issues.
I cast, or rather poured, a bunch of 38 wadcutters from paraffin. pistol primers. Charter Arms 357 revolver. Neighborhood hounds had to find...

If asked, you are prepping to cast old fashion Christmas toys.

That was fast.
Thank you guys.
No BE on hand. I am leaning toward about 5 gr Unique. Hope to work on it tomorrow.
I will post feedback when I get some.

In my misguided youth I loaded .310 round balls for a 30-30 bolt gun to dispatch squirrels and other invading varmints . Effective range was about 25 yards. Didn't use much powder. I didn't want...

My son had an enjoyable hunt, but didn't make any smoke.
Thanks for all of your suggestions.

1bluehorse, I was not very clear. From the bench, mid Missouri altitude, 85 degrees F, slight crossing breeze, 2.5 inch clusters, 3 inches high at 100 yards. He feels confident for 150 to 200...

The Minie turned out to be the accuracy winner. Consistently 3" at 100 yards.
Off to the mountains next week.
I wish him good luck.

First trip to the range the REAL proved most accurate at 100 yards. Shooting about 3 inches high. My son is mostly a bow hunter and needs some more time behind the trigger. Iron sights only is a...

Had not considered a card wad. Have to see if I can find some.

My son has drawn a Colorado Cow Elk BP hunt.

He will be shooting a 50 cal. Sabots are prohibited. In 50 cal he must use a conical projectile.

I have two molds available. Both LEE

Minie...

I know I am late to this party but find the topic interesting. I also own a Marlin 336. I was of the impression that cast boolits were to be avoided in micro groove barrels. Are folks here having...

Thanks for the idea. I like this. After trying RB loads that looked like shotgun patterns, I tried 3.0 gr of Promo under 405 cast. Three shots touching in the bullseye at 25 yards from my TD. Not...

Mixed up a batch of Ed's Red

I only carry shot loads when summertime woods walking. My load is a casefull of #9 shot between two gas checks in a 38 Special case.

I have also loaded a gas check, 70 gr #9 shot, topped with a...

I have used REX-1 for 3/4 oz 12 gauge target ammo. REX-0 is reported to be a good choice for that application also.

My only complaint with REX powders is that it has never been consistantly...
