The 124 Lees in question are easily scratched with a finger nail. I haven't tried them in the P-89 but have leading problems in a CZ-75 (pre-B). I'll probably load up some of the 124's tonight and...

I have cast some 9mm 124 gr TC Lees from range lead, they are too soft. It's summer and I don't want to cast more from wheel weights, the garage is like a humid oven. These are 9mm boolits for a...

30-06 has a glorious long neck, all the better for cast and keeping the gas check inside the neck.
Lee's 312-185R gas check boolit has a front shank with a diameter such that it rides on top of...

I see the bullets other guys shoot more than my own but sometimes I see mine.
Twice in one day a guy hit the metal target frame and .45 slugs came back over our heads. They came back fast. I...

I use the Lee 105 SWC over 2.2 gr of 231 in a Ruger LCP, it works flawlessly.
I seat it so just a tad of the front driving band is in front of the case mouth, less than 1/16".
A friend tried...

I talked to a schuetzen shooter the other day, he likes 25:1 lead:tin.
I just use range lead which is some hard cast pistol bullets and the lead from jacketed pistol bullets. Lately I just cast...

This is my first Savage in the 110/10 action series and it's just great.
I did have two Savage 340's in .222, both were very accurate but shot the first shot out of the group.
By the way, this...

I wanted a sporter weight cast boolit rifle. Lee's 312-185R worked good in a 26" Win 94 30-30 so I decided on a bolt gun in .308. I wanted a Stevens 200 but found a Savage 16 FSS, it's a stainless...

Progress to date: got a Savage 16 FSS, it's used but also looks "unfired". Played with action screw tightness and barrel and tang touching. I relieved the stock around the barrel and nut and the...

Mine needed the barrel brushed with CLP after every magazine when using bulk Rem and Fed ammo. Stingers work the best. Remington bulk Golden Bullets work well for practice. It takes some omph to...

The links go to photobucket for me but just to a page asking for money for something called pro.
To post pics from PB I had to copy the Image, Img, line for the pic and post that.

Sounds like you are starting off with the right rifle, right bullet and probably an excellent powder. I was seriously looking at the XL-7 or XS-7 when I found a Savage 16 FSS in .308 and ended up...

What would be good hundred yard accuracy for a sporter weight rifle using cast boolits?
I'm thinking of a Savage 16 FSS in .308 for a cast boolit general shooting rifle.
Shot the 16 FSS for the...

Today I shot two Lee 312-185R loads at 100 yards. The boolits used gas checks, Liquid Alox lube and were sized to .311.
The rifle was a Winchester 30-30, 26" barrel with a Weaver K 2.5 scope.

Three deer agree, cast boolits are great for hunting!

Yep, Canadian Centennial 94. Now to get a front sight that is the right height and that I can see.
I'll take the eyepiece off, wipe it out and put some desiccant packs in the tube with the...

Steve Young slicked my 92 and it's fast, smooth, reliable and trouble free. He did the same to my 94 Marlin and it runs the same as the 92. Never had a Marlin jam with it.
Forum: Leverguns
The rifle is a Winchester 94, 26" octagon, 30-30, made in 1967, scope is an old Weaver K 2.5 with water in the eye piece right next to where I needed clear glass.
Boolit is Lee's 312185 cast from...

Yep, the leading was back with the 120's without gas checks, more than I expected too. The Chore Boy brush did it's thing again and now the rifle is good to go.
Just worked on loading the 312...

Put a scope on the 1967 made Winchester 94, 26" octagon, 30-30 and shot it today. Mount was a Weaver 3B and matching rings with a Weaver K 2.5 scope.

Forum: Factory Rifles
Yeah, the only reasonable way to compare between .308, 30-06, 30-30 and .358 is to get one of each on the same platform and work up loads each likes. I've never had a Savage, other than a 340 in...
