Oooh....I just inherited my great uncles 1957 99 Savage in 300 Sav as well. So, I’m very interested in hearing more on boolit selection.

Well, I was in Buffalo WY exactly this time last year. Now, my buddy is there for opening day, today. He draw for non residents is 99.9%. So, great chance of getting drawn [emoji3]. And, the kill...

I don't see a way to delete a profile. But, you can add new profiles. I love my Caldwell chrono. Very handy indeed. It paid huge dividends when establishing my load and scope dope last year for my...

Lots of great advice already. But, I'll throw in my method for what it's worth. I just put up 100 lbs. of ground meat and about 40-50 lbs. of roasts and steaks. It's been a good season thus far.

Nice buck!!

The blackout is one that I've been thinking of building. More for use with a silencer. But, a silencer and a wide meplat cast boolit sounds even better. Keep us in the loop on your...

Thanks for the replies.

Yep, the 45-70 does the job well with no meat damage. I'm a believer.

Hello fellow cast shooters,

I haven't been around much lately due to the hunting season. And, what a good one its been.

I kicked off the season with an Antelope hunt in Wyoming. While not a...

nice job!

Hi Glen,

Thanks for the kind words. Trust me, you'll find plenty of flaws when looking over the piece. Lol. Yours is very nice as well!

The grommets I chose are split grommets on the back. They...

Get the stuff from Tandy leather. But, don't rule out going to hobby lobby for some leather items as well.

Izzyjoe, I could make you one. I've been toying with the idea. There's many different styles which would lead to many different prices. But, we could work something out on one if you want. Just send...

Thanks for comments and nice words.

TXgunNut, yes, way too many hours [emoji3] this was my first one. I designed it from other patterns of oak leaves, while putting my own twist on it. I hate the...

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. Next on the list is a new holster :)

izzyjoe, I haven't quite yet decided if I'd make these for anyone. I almost developed arthritis doing this one :)

Hello All,

I just finished a leather project for my 1895 45-70. I hope you enjoy it. I personally, cannot wait to take into the woods this...

Yes, this is what I did with the pc boolits. It was my only choice after slugging the bore. I guess even with the pc on the bullets, the 1650 fps still allowed for some leading. I'm going to buy...

Thanks for the reminder Charlie.

I'm casting WW + 2% tin.

Thanks Claude. I've wondered on the 430, actually. What drew you to this design / weight if you don't mind me asking? Also, what load and velocity did you get to work the best? Just curious as I do...

Hello fellow casters,

If I could lend your ear, I'd like to request some of that infinite wisdom that resides here. My main question is boolit design for good feeding. But, I'll give you all the...

Thanks for the info. I'll know more on Monday after the gun arrives. I currently have a NOE 360-405 mold with all the pins. So, I'll try these out in the lever gun. But, I'm thinking about ordering...

Hello fellow casters,

I've recently purchased a new to me 45-70 levergun that I want to dedicate as a cast only gun. But, I think remember hearing that some chambers can be tight for wide flat...

Thanks 1bluehorae,

I failed to mention that I did this max load test this morning and found it to be 17.3 grains with my boolit. Which is a from a 405 mold. But with the cup point it weighs in at...

Happy new year castboolit friends. This cold weather has me doing some casting and wanting to try new loads. I've got some trail boss and have wanting to try this in my 1885 winny hi wall. The boolit...

Hi there Fotis,

I've got one almost identical to yours. Mine has a butt pad on it though (thank God). I love the crescent butt plates, but my shoulder just can't take it anymore. And, I do tend to...

Nice job!!

Where did you get that stock check pad / ammo carrier? I'd like to get one for my 1885 hi wall. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies everyone. An older 358 would be a nice find if I'm lucky enough.
