I posted a request for some samples of the two Lee .452 RN casts to see which 6 cav. mold I wanted to buy. frkelly74 responded that he had both molds and would send 50 of each. I received the bullets...

Thanks Randy, I'll be ordering up some zip and carnauba from ya soon. I appreciate your consent to the substitution of the Italian beeswax, I wouldn't want to violate boolit lube juju!
Ray, if it...

Danggit! All my wax is from skinny virgin Italian maidens! Are those liquid ounces or ounces by weight?

Yeah, after that last post, I ran across the TAC replacement for speed green and the Zip replacement for bullplate from randyrat. Now I've lost my good excuse to shoot more.

Hey Randy, do you...

Hate that Bullshop is out of business, but has anyone picked up the product line? Will we be forever without bullplate? I'll really hate having to do all that shooting to come up with a new favorite...

Hate to disagree with ya Forrest, but it seems to me that a dime is awfully light in weight to give much penetration, and if hitting flat on heavy clothing it may cause a nasty bruise, but I'd rather...

Hey, I like that idea fecmech, thanks. Now if I can just remember it next time I need it!

Hey Greenmntranger, I have an older Rossi '92 20" without the safety, put a tang sight on and found it got in the way on a handy carbine, so tried a Skinner Low Pro. I drilled and tapped the bolt,...

You're looking for top end loads, but the soupcan without gas check and 4 grains of bullseye prints tight at the top of the heavy post on a 4x duplex scope, sighted for a 170 grain hunting load in my...

Wally world carries from time to time a cheap ($7-$10) mini multi tool, like a scaled down leatherman, with an LED light tht folds into one handle. Powered by three button "hearing aid" type...

Peep sights are THE sight for the rifleman. Find one that has the adjustment that you think you will want/need and has the aesthetics you like. Williams, Skinner, Marbles, Lyman are all good and can...

Use data from any good loading manual for the hulls, wads, other components you intend to use. An ounce of payload is an ounce of payload, whether it be an ounce of buckshot or an ounce of birdshot,...

Anyone think grits may be slightly abrasive to the bore? I've used grits in revolver loads under a glued-in cardboard wad for shooting wood boring bees on the wing around the barn eaves, but have had...

Wow Beagle, thinking on the edge again. Great idea. I've done some tinkering with the radial cuts using a bit more crude technology though. Two strips of single edge razor blades with relief cuts...

Ya know, I have to keep reminding myself of what my use and expectations are for cast boolits. (Sometimes need others to remind me as well, as recently by Larry Gibson, "Thanks" again Larry) I have...

Well now, thats a point that's hard to argue with. Soft cast does benefit greatly from gas checks, even when practice rounds cast a bit harder can be PB. So, maybe I don't need to alter this one....

Fecmech, the length problem my be another benefit of the Lee alteration. I've been well pleased with 2400 under 158 grainers, but would not be opposed to H110 or possibly 296 for a heavier boolit...

Hey dwight, really like to make use of the same load in both revolver and carbine. With the right combination, I think ~1600 fps plain base is achievable in .357 mag. Same sizing fits in both...

Ole, If Fecmech is running them in a gp100 and Rossi rifle, 358429 OAL shouldn't be a problem in a security-six, vaquero, and M92, IF I go to the Lyman. I'll have to agree on the TL being a...

Is 820 similar to 296 in that it doesn't download well? Either would be okay. I don't mind using a particular powder for a specific purpose. I have enough other options for lesser loads when needed....

Thanks 'Phish, thats good info there, but nothing specific to the C358-158-SWC performance after altering.
Iron Mike, I'm of the same thought, even though someone elsewhere opined that a wide base...

I've searched every word combination I can imagine, but can't find any results from plain basing a C358-158-SWC. I found some reference in a 2007 thread about Milling out the step or milling off the...

There should have been an opening statement "WARNING VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED; What you are about to see is not suitable for those that have a regard for proper use of tools and equipment. Safety...

Wow Waksupi, how fortunate can one be? Living in a great place like Montana wasn't enough, you had to center yourself to within 20 miles of great barrel makers and evidently work in the industry as...

No, I never really gave it alot of consideration. Guess I always figured that if ya start with a straight blank and center bore and rifle it, you'd have a straight barrel ready for installation. I'm...
