I'd shoot them as is. I shot my first deer with a cast bullet in my 30-30 Marlin a few years back. Bullet was a water quenched 311041 made of COWW's. It killed the deer but the 18 BHN hardness was...

Alloy definitely makes a difference. I use straight COWW's and PC my bullets, resulting in a final hardness of 10-12 BHN. In my 30-30 I've used the Lyman 311041 and 311008 at 2200 fps to harvest deer...

I too have been nailing squirrels with my 22. My suppressor finally got out of jail and I've been using it squirrel hunting, which is nice. I've probably got a dozen in the freezer, so I could use a...

Good advice for high velocity jacketed bullet users, but this isn't what the OP was asking about.

In my experience shoulder shots will not waste meat with cast bullets, at least up to impact velocities of 2200 fps or so. You can pretty much eat right up to the hole. Now if you blast one in the...

I always want to break one or both shoulders. This puts the animal down on the spot and usually messes up heart or lungs. This has worked well for me with cast bullets from .357 magnum, 30-30 and 300...

Just one? Gotta be the 22lr.

I'm using the LEE 200 gr RNFP in my 18" BCA 350 Legend upper. After some careful lapping to smooth the bore (and make it .355 from breech to muzzle) my pc'd bullets are stacking on top of each other...

I got home from Boy Scouts last night at about 8:30 pm. As soon as I got out of the car I caught the distinct aroma of skunk. After going inside for a few minutes I grabbed my rifle. As soon as I...

That sucks!

AA#1680 gives low pressures in the Legend and allows the careful handloader to assemble more powerful loads. I don't think there's a better heavy bullet powder for this caliber.

No mention of that on the LBT website.

Yeah, I might have to sit and wait in the chicken coop. Can't do that until the weekend though.

Yes, we have chickens.

So to elaborate on my earlier post, the next night I checked the barn first. Nothing! Then after I closed the chicken coop door I scanned the yard with the thermal. I saw...

If you want your new rifle to shoot like the old one, I suggest getting Veral Smith's bore lapping kit. Just follow the directions and you will see improvement. It's worked on every gun I've tried it...

The other night I was awakened out of a deep sleep by a horrible smell. Being groggy, it seemed to me that I had left something on the stove and it was burning. As I became more awake I realized it...

Thank you!

The best!

No doubt about that. He is my provider!

I'll second that recommendation. I have an 18" barreled BCA upper in 350 legend and the Lee 200 grain RF feeds beautifully in my AR. Shoots great too! If it feeds in an AR it should work in just...

I was able to get to the range and test my loads. 2200+ fps with no leading out of an 18" BCA upper at 35 degrees F. No pressure signs and nice tight groups too, and this without the gas check. As...

I don't know. There was no hole you could stick your finger in. Totally closed over, and there was a hard lump underneath the hide so it had been healed over for some time.

Bump.

Thanks everybody!

Thanks! Let me know please.
