Please keep this post updated with your new rifle (I'm looking/wanting one myself) and how it is performing for you.

I am a huge 44Mag fan and own several handgun configurations that I hunt with,...

Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this in, but the folks here would be in the know.

I am looking for preferably Starline Brass, but will settle for Winchester to purchase. Buffalo...

I appreciate all the info fellas. Thank you.

The break down of my alloy is (maybe I typed it out in the wrong order?), anyhoo. . .
For my size pot I mix 30lbs. in a batch of COWW lead (25%) and...

Hello all,
I'm getting ready to order a new mold for a new "To Me" caliber for an T/C Encore pistol. . .375 Winchester. Looking at a 225 to 235 grain mold from Mr. Tom at Accurate Molds. I'm...

You Da'Man!!! Thank you for the info. . .this is quite the long link and a bunch of useful knowledge. Just what I was after.

MP 402-190/180 Hollow Point Plain Base Brass Mold

I have sent a couple emails to MP asking for some specs on this bullet with absolutely no reply. Are there any forum members that have this mold...

JonB,
357maximum's 666+1 lube is on my radar (I tried it a few years ago - I think?) and another called SL-71B which I cannot find the recipe for.

Don,
I have read a ton of posts/threads concerning boolit lube, and I don't know this for sure, but I believe the "Three Amigos" you speak of are;
Gearnasher, 357Maximum, and Runfiverun. Not sure...

Do you have a lube that has worked well for you in the Canada Extreme Colds???

Gary,
Thank you very much for the advice and recipe. How does this stack-up to the 666+1 or SL-71B lubes??? These are others that are supposed to be "cold weather" shooters!?!?!?

YES!!! Pay close attention to cold/hot bore, clean/fouled, cold/hot weather conditions. . .a lot of this will apply to your bullet lube (which I am in search of the Holly Grail of lubes), your...

I was just on the phone with a friend of mine. His son and son's father in-law handgun hunt a lot and have switched over and began using Weaver Classic 2-6x32mm scopes on some of there handguns and...

STAY AWAY FROM THE PINS . . .THEY WILL MAKE YOU DO BAD THINGS!!!

I have a FA rotary tumbler and I ordered a box of the diagonal cut pins and the round BB type media off Amazon. These along with a...

David,
Thank you for the reply. How is your field of view with the 4x scopes, inside 150yds.? I rarely take offhand shots unless I have to spin around in my treestand, most of the time I'm braced...

Agreed with above comments - wide flat nose and heavy for caliber boolits. I shoot a lot of magnum calibers/pressures and an alloy of 50/50 +1 (COWW / soft lead to pewter) in a 30:1 alloy works...

Well. . .I'm finally succumbing to the fact my eyes and iron sights are dwindling away, I'll be 50 years old in another 6 weeks. I love my handgun hunting and Leupold optics, which has me looking at...

I can't say for sure that I have settled. . .but the RCBS 35-200 has shot pretty good. Right now I'm eye-ball'n the 36-215SG from Tom at Accurate Molds, and I may ask him to open the meplat to .230...

Powders and primers I use for my handguns, both T/C Contenders and Ruger/S&W revolvers are; Alliant 2400 and VV N110, CCI Mag and Winchester LP. With J-word bullets I have no issues with...

My barrels are always fouled. I only clean them after 200 rounds have been fired or accuracy is diminishing and then after hunting season is over, but I will shoot 3 rounds to keep the bore fouled. ...

I have been playing around with various lubes and yet to find one that will perform well out of a southern hunting season cold barrel. I'm not talking in the negative digits, but a lube that works...

You've been given a lot of good advice. I'm onboard with Larry, H110/W296 and IMR4227 are the best powders you have listed for the 44 mag. working in the 21 to 23 grain range. IMR4227 you can load...

Cree,
I recently had a .358 Winny barrel made for my T/C Encore (I know - totally different animal) and I was having difficulties with getting a cast bullet to even group for me. . .I had AWESOME...

There is a fella on the forum named "moleman", he has done this exact idea only in 44 caliber. I liked the idea and contacted him and he is a VERY helpful guy. I would look into his posts for some...

I have the same mold and cannot get Sage/Gator nor Lyman GC's to seat firmly either!!! Is there a GC that does work for these undersized shank molds or a modification of sort to make things work??? ...

I do not care to powder coat my boolits, but thank you for the advice. I am sizing them to .431" to seat the GC with Lee sizing dies then I run them through my Star Lube/Sizer at a true .4305". The...
