Anyone know the alloy used in the old 1320 fps loads before smokeless powder. How about the first smokeless loads?

Forum: Boolit Lube !
I really like 45-45-10 lube. I am wondering how fast I can push Lyman #2 alloy gas checked bullets and still not get leading. My loads for 30-30 and 375 Winchester are going 2000- 2200 fps and so far...

I don’t have this mold yet. I have the 375499 that casts 288 grains all up and killed a large Mule deer buck with one shot almost instant kill. Just heard so much good about the Ranchdog 235 would...

Has anybody used the Ranch Dog 235 grain bullet for 375 Winchester on bigger than deer game. Elk, moose or big hogs? I think it would make a great bullet in the 375 Winchester but wonder if it is...

I have 2 336 Marlin 35 Rems a 1974 and a 1980. The Accurate 245S chambers and shoots very accurately in both. I don’t have my loading notes here but I think I sized then .359. I understand it was...

I backed my load down to 7.5 grains and got no excessively hot barrel or casings.

Shooting in my 1894 Legacy 24” barrel 45 Colt l was using 8.2 grains of Hodgeon Universal powder and it really heated the barrel fast and the empty’s were very hot to touch. Is this normal? I have no...

Larry, going to check these loads out. Moose is my main game up here. Thanks!

I think I am going to get the Lee 255 grain 6 hole mould to start with. Looks like a good bullet and is available up here in Canada.

243265Got a new in box Winchester 94 Legacy in 45 Colt for pistol caliber Leveraction silhouette and want to hunt with it also. Never loaded any pistol loads. What moulds and powder do you recommend?...
Forum: Hunting with CB's
You’ll never regret getting a 35 Rem. I live and hunt in moose and grizzly country and have never felt undergunned with my trusty 35 along.

I see you have read my thread in heavy cast 30-30 loads. I haven’t killed anything with that load yet but will be hunting moose with it this fall and have no doubt it will do the job. That said I...

Don’t forget moose! We live and hunt in grizzly country so it’s nice to have the extra weight and power in a light and handy rifle.

235119. Leverevolution is also great for the 35 Rem with Speer 220 grain FP and heavy cast like the Saeco #352/ Accurate 245S.
Forum: Hunting with CB's
I don’t usually need much of an excuse to buy a new mould but you won’t regret this one. It shoots very good and the LVR powder really makes it shine!
Forum: Hunting with CB's
The gas check is below the neck/shoulder junction. No ill effects, there is lots of powder room and the load is very accurate.
