Hello everyone,
injust put out a Henry lever action carbine on layaway at buds. It's the one with the steel receiver. I believe it has the 1:16 twist. I would like to shoot the NOE 454290 plain...
Thank you to everyone who has replied, your advice has been most generous. This is a great forum. I will update as things progress!
I'll keep that load in mind, thank you. I am pretty certain the model 70 is a ten twist.
Well, I guess I might be crazy trying all these bullets without gas checks but I don't think they would be made in plain base if they didn't shoot at some velocity. I intend to find out! I have...
So the bore riding part of the bullet should for all intents and purposes be laying on, but not engraved into, the lands so that it is supported on its ride through the bore? Or engraved just enough...
The 311299 looks like a really good choice. I remember now why Mr Nelson said the bore riding bullets could cause issues, it was due to the fact that when the bore started getting dirty the shells...
I was really debating getting the 311-180 K31 mold but after talking to Mr. Nelson at NOE decided not too. I would like to know how it turns out for you. He advised against bore riding bullets. ...
At this time I will be shooting it out of a stainless m-70 alaskan with a 25 inch barrel. I have another 700 30-06 I am rebarreling to shoot cast for. I will probably need to start another thread to...
Just ordered the 311041 but not sure if that was the best choice.
thanks for any feedback.

I was thinking a 1 in 12 as well. I don't plan on shooting any j-words over 165 any how.

I am going to put a new barrel on a stainless 700 mountain rifle I picked up cheap. I would like to put a mountain profile weight barrel back on it. Not having shot much cast in rifles, what twist...

These bullets seem pretty long. Will they stabilized at lower velocity, say 1200 fps out of a 1 in 10 twist? If you wager so please put me in for a 4 cavity solid.

Anyone tried this combo? Have any of you had any luck with TB and the '06? Not sure where to start here. This is my first casting for a rifle and I have a few lbs of TB.
I am open for other...

I would be interested in a 4 cavity, plain base solid, with no pins. A solid brass version that would not require solid pins.

I would like a 4 cavity PB 434!!! Is this going to be re-run again!!!??
Forum: Boolit Lube !
Thanks guys, I was so excited after casting my first bullets, and wanting to get them lubed with this mix, I over looked that part of the instructions. The lube turned out great! However I still...
Can anyone tell me if I still need to use the bell die before using the Lyman M die when prepping cases?

I brewed up my first batch of this today. I reduce the JPW by quite a bit. I noticed while looking into spoon fulls of JPW as I cooked a separation of two liquids clear and brown. I think the...

Making my first batch of 45/45/10.
Is the ratio of 45JPW before or after reduction of solvents?

Just wondering how much bubbling is occurring for those of you who have tested your ingots for zinc contamination with muratic acid? I have melted 5-6 batches of approx 150lbs of WW over the last...

Being of the what if SHTF mentality at times, I purchased this one today. For mixing alloys, weighing ingots ect. No batteries required.
