I had a NEF 44 mag rifle for years that shot very good groups with almost everything I stuffed in it. Sold it and picked up a new CVA single shot rifle in 44 mag. Group size is bad with everything....

I jut ordered and received four different cast bullets from this company. They were coated, and will be giving a report on them shortly. The big deal with them was they were able to give me special...
I have this box of 22o gr cast bullets with gas check just sitting here and would like to use them in my 357 max and 35 Rem singleshots. I can't find any load data for bullets that heavy anywhere. ...

I shot 7-30 waters for years, then realized my 30-30 will do everything the 7-30 will, and with a wider choice of bullets and weights. Dumped the 7-30 and love the 30-30, especially in my MGM bull...

I keep two by the back door. A Ruger .177 cal break bbl, with 4x scope. It is about 1200fps, very strong. Kills anything from squirrels up to and including foxes and raccoons. Does a very good...

I load 3.4 grs or red dot behind 125 gr cast/coated bullets in 9x19. Shoots great in mine and low recoil. Wallacem in Ga

Just to finalize this discussion, my friend put the 50 cases back in his tumbler and they turned back the original color. He loaded them and shot some and they worked fine. I guess they are ok. I...

405grain, you gave good advise. Those are the hot spots to look at. I add one more thing. They should have a phone number to call and talk to them. Just another indicator. Wallacem

How was the accuracy? I am guessing they could be very good. Wallacem

First I need to know how you know yur frame is a SB2? Did you read it on the barrel? If so, that means nothing. You have to remove the stock to find out which frame you have. If the part of the...

OK guys, need your advise. Best friend, just called me. He had wet tumbled 50 30-06 cases and put them in the oven to dry. Forgot to turn oven down and off, let them bake for over an hour at 350...

OK, report/ Went to range today. The group on left is 10 shots with the checks on the bottom of the bullet. The target on right is 10 shots without. The naked bullets grouped a little better, and...

Sorry bout that. PB checks are gas checks made to go on a plain base cast bullet. They are stamped from aluminum coke cans or other thin material, formed like a cup and run thru a sizer on a plain...

45-70 does not need a lot of speed. I have been shooting 405 gr sized .460 for 30 years with 36 gr IMR3031, around 1300-1400 fps. Kills everything I ask it to, and easy on the shoulder. Wallacem...
