Gotta be the .357. Got rifles and pistols for it and it'll take most game within 100 yards and all the two legged critters in between.

Testing out a couple of new molds that I bought... a 150 grain Lee 309-150 and the 173 grain Lyman 311041. Remarkably (or maybe not) the Lee is dropping bullets right at .3105 and the lyman is...

I've used 9 grains Unique with the plain based RD 265 and it's a great plinking round. On the gas checked side of the mold, I'll use Lil'Gun just a bit under his max load data. Great bullet and...

If you are looking for a good bullet to run through that .35 Rem, check out the Ranchdog TLC359-190-RF. Great boolit. You might also like the old standby RCBS 35-200 if your penchant is for...

My marlin 1894c needs a .359 boolit and probably wouldn't complain about a .360 one either. I have the ballard cut rifling as well. Try it a bit larger and you should be good to go. I might also...

Just chiming in here as I have both the 1894C .357 (ballard) and the 1894 .44 Mag (microgroove)... I've found that the .44 really likes the heavier bullets. Lowest I'd go is a 240 grain Keith style...

I routinely use a 50/50 mix of either range scrap or Stick on WW with some Isotope core or Clip on WW lead for my .45 slugs. They work great. For low velocity cartridges like the .45 or a .38...

In my experience, the zinc ones look very similar to the lead with the clip being cast into the weight, the steel weights look like the clip is riveted on. But that's just my experience. Did you...

For me, I'll take either isotope lead or wheel weights over range scrap. At our ranges, we don't get a lot of cast being shot, so you end up with a lot of jacketed cores or cheap plated bullets. ...

I'm not on 45 2.1's list, but I also received my blocks yesterday. Gave the blocks a good cleaning and cast up a few. The first band after the lube groove was measuring .227-.228 which is perfect. ...

Lazy weekend, so I put cast up another 400 Lee TL-452-230s. Just about 3/4 of a Lee 20 pound pot.

I've reloaded for some close friends in the past, but those are few and far between. The whole issue of liability and not having an 06 FFL is all the reason I need. Now, there is one guy at my auto...

If you go with the Recluse 45/45/10, you're really not dealing with straight Alox anymore. Yes, you can still tumble lube, but in my experience, it acts more like a conventional lube if you want it...

Alright... against my better judgement, I fired up the pot and poured 400 Lyman 358156. Good consistant pistol and rifle boolit. I'll add that to the 100 or so that I already had on hand and it...

I always add tin as I feel it make it easier for me to acheive fill-out... well, that and I seem to have a very large supply of what appears to be 50/50 solder. So adding it doesn't hurt. I tried...

Oh gosh no... Don't go mixing up your stereo and lino. The lead pipe you could probably mix up with the pure lead as most piping is pure anyway. You definitely want to keep it separate so that...

But those won't leave a layer sitting on top of your melt to help prevent further oxidation. After I'm done fluxing, I leave it all sitting on top. I'll give it a good mix after I add the sprues...

I dip lube but I use Recluse lube instead of straight LLA. No tackiness and it'll actually fill the lube grooves on most non-TL boolits.

I will cast, seat the gas checks (if necessary), toss...

I don't pre-treat my bores, but I do use Recluse lube almost exclusively at this point.

I've shot it in everything that I reload for from 38 specials at 850 fps to 9mm to 35 remington using both...

If you are going to stir with a wooden stick, make it a point not to scrape the sides of the pot. You will deposit charcoal along the edges that will ultimately get pulled down to the spout and into...

This is my first brass and my first Miha mold. It's definitely a thing of beauty. Got mine yesterday. I'm going to fire it up this weekend and see how it casts.... though I did notice that my pins...

I haven't seen anyone throw the RanchDog 175 grain TLC359-175-RF out there yet. You can order this half and half gas check/plain base then you get the best of both worlds. You can really push the...

Ditto here on my Taurus PT1911. .451 all the way down the bore. .452 cast boolits of just about any variety with some 45/45/10 Recluse lube work like a charm.

Make sure your boolits are coming...

By June it'll be hot enough out here in Phoenix, AZ to cast boolits without the need of a heat source. Just leave the lead in a pot on the sidewalk and you'll be casting in minutes. :D

I've been...

Same with me Olaf! I dread adding in a new caliber to the stable due to what it entails. I hate buying factory ammo. I mean, I started reloading to get away from a dependance on factory stuff and...
