It worked but the text is VERY small, even my laser vision eyes are having a tough time.

This is an old thread but I'll post an update. When I was doing was not expanding the cause mouth enough and shaving some lead when I was seating the bullet. I believe this was causing the...

Damn I hate playing the odds, its doesn't seem to work out in my favor often! I have been looking online for a mold that drops a .460 but haven't had much luck. I'm looking for something with a...

Yup sure do, its my favorite rifle by far.

I'm looking at getting a Lyman 405gr .457 mold. I've been buying my cast bullets and my rifle prefers a .460 diameter bullet. I would like to stick with this size, so do I re size my bullets...

I tired to take as detailed a photo as possible, looking at the damage now it doesn't seem to look as bad as I though.

It was only about a 6 inch drop and drag, but enough to cause some marks and loss of bluing on the rim of the barrel. I'm in Canada and at my location a good smith is really hard to come by.

I must not have sipped up my gun case and my rifle fell out and hit the side walk muzzle first. There is a scrape and a little damage on the ridge of the muzzle but not near the rifling, is this a...

I haven't weighed the bullets, I do get them from bulletbarn.com (good guys and very reputable up here in canada) The key holes are grouping with my other shots (within 2 inches and 100 yards)

Something very strange I've been experiencing with my load of 14.7grs unique and 405 cast bullet is key holing. The even stranger part is with a key holing bullet its still flying the same flight...

Any of you guys willing to take a picture of the load data in these manuals?
Forum: Cast Boolits
That's interesting, I have the lastest Lyman manual and there isn't any data listed. I have to look for Lyman #47.

Hey all, I've put together a nice load using unique with a 405gr cast boolit. I'm running 14.7grs of powder with a kleenex filler.
I've been thinking about putting together some 350gr and 420gr...

What would you give as far as recoil difference between a 14.5gr load compared to a 16gr load with a cast 405gr RNFP bullet?
Forum: Cast Boolits
Its funny, when I first started handloading for my 45-70 I ran everything to max loads. It took me awhile to understand that not every heavy chunk of lead needs to be driven to 1800fps (especially...

Thanks Bruce, I feel lucky to have stumbled on this great resource!

I've just started experimenting with some light cast loads through my 45-70 Marlin. Today I put together a nice little load of 14.5grs of Unique and a 405gr cast boolit and really enjoyed shooting...
