I loaded the 35 Whelen successfully with pistol primers, Bullseye or W231 powder using 168gr SWC’s. Accuracy wasn’t great with either powder combo but the SWC’s came out the end of the barrel and hit...

Thank you hc18flyer - no longer looking for gas checks.

Still looking for some plain base checks

Thank you for the source!
Sadly, it appears they are out of stock.

My shooting partner recently built a 450 Bushmaster and wants to try some plain base gas checks on some of the pistol boolits we have.
I would like to buy or trade for 50-100 checks to be sure the...
Not 200 grains but, the Lee 309-170-F sized .311 after coating (178gr all dressed up) is the most accurate boolit I’ve found in my ’06. Several close seconds but so far the Lee is the winner.

Hodgdon (Winchester) has data for the 44 Magnum and W231 powder using a 240gr LSWC and 270gr GoldDots in an 8.2 inch barrel.
For the 240gr LSWC they start at 5.5gr (800 fps) and go up to 11.0gr...
Shuz made the suggestion of the thread (in my opinion) if your going to trade in your rifle for a handgun. I have a RedHawk in 44 mag and its a great gun but just shy of “heavier than a dead...

I don’t have or load for the 450 BM. The boolits my friend took his deer with were the Lee 452-252 SWC which finish at 260gr powder coated and checked. I also sent him some of the Lee C452-300-RF...
I sent a friend of mine some boolits sized .452 and he was able to take a deer last year with his 450 Bushmaster. I’d slug the bore to confirm what size you’d need if there is any doubt.
The 6.5 CM is a very enjoyable cartridge. I tried for too long to get my bug hole rifle to shoot 469’s, complete with the help of some very experienced cast shooters here, and failed miserably....
Thank you for the report!
1 1/2” accuracy at that velocity seems very reasonable to me for a cast boolit. I’ve had very good results with a hollow pointed 257464 (89gr) and Unique in an old Savage...
Old post I know BUT… inquiring minds wanna know - How did the 250-3000 AI do with cast?
Forum: Cast Boolits
Good for you! I should join you in the no cell phone world.
No idea what you have. I can’t find an Ideal/Lyman mould that matches that description or the number 257346.
I’d cast some up,...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Welcome to the forum!
Can you post a picture(s) of the mould?
Forum: Cast Boolits
Have that mould, a 308 and some W760 - Thanks for posting!
