Hi All,
The reason for the dumb question is I'm red, green, brown, and blue color blind. I'm a decent shot with handguns and rifles but can't track game worth a hoot due my color blindness. Of the...

Hi All,
I'm not on here too often anymore due to health issues for this 70 plus year old caster/shooter. I've harvested 40 deer with calibers ranging from .357 Magnum handgun up to .35 Whelen. My...

I load the Lyman 358156 boolet in both my 357 Mag revolvers. Magnum loads get crimped in the upper crimp groove in Magnum cases and lower velocity loads are crimped in 38 Special cases using the...

I use the RCBS 35-200 and the LEE clone of it. I have 10 35 caliber rifles and all 10 like the above mentioned moulds. Even my Marlins shoot them well. I love the gas check feature on both moulds...
I've got four .32 WS carbines in my gun safe. Two Marlins (1951 SC, & 1957 SC) and two 94's (1948 & 1963) and all four love shooting cast bullets from 1600 fps up to 2300 fps. The three molds I...

I use TAC in my .358 Winchesters and love it. Getting 2600fps using a 200 grain bullet, 2500fps with the 225's and 2400pfs with the 250 grain round nose. Accuracy is superb and the data was...

Great score Dads!!!! I've never had that kind of success, ever. Before I retired the guys I worked with all used to joke about the "Big Yard Sale at Bob's House". I used to kid them and tell them...
I've got two .35 Whelens and really like the old cartridge. One is a Remington 700 Classic and the other is an 18" heavy barreled carbine cobbled together from a Savage 111 action. I shoot the 200...

Shot my first Whitetail buck with a 1948 Model 94 in .32 Win Special back in November 1965. My hunting "Uncle" loaned me that rifle and sold it to me upon my return home from overseas duty in 1973. ...

I use it a lot in my .32 Special chambered rifles with cast bullets. I'm able to drive the RCBS 08-170, 182 grain gas checked bullet to over 2300 fps in my Marlin 336SC from 1957 with pleasing...

Good for you sir!!!! I'm a big fan of Red Dot in my shotgun (12 gauge) loads, handgun target loads and rifle cast boolit shooting. In fifty years of reloading, I've not been without a supply of it....

I've been a fan of Reloder 12 powder since the mid nineties. Started using it in my .300 Savages and branched out from there. When the announcement was made of it's discontinuance I went out and...

I bought two 788's upon my discharge from the USN in 1973. A .308 Win and 6mm Rem, both of which I still own and would not part with. I've won a pick-up truck load of cash with the 6mm shooting...

My Marlin 1894C is my most used rifle I own. Got an 1894C and an 1894CBL. The C is microgroove and the CBL is ballard. I must be doing something correct because my 1894C gets shot more than any...
Like others posted here, my Lyman 358477 154 grain plain based SWC boolit does 1000 fps from my 4" S&W 19-4 with 5.0 grains of RED DOT or BULLSEYE. Accuracy is match grade also.

NoAngel,
You are very correct in your sumation of the new Lee Mold. The bullets are just a wee bit shorter than those made by my RCBS 35-200 and consequently weigh right at 200 grains lubed and...

tazman,
The .358 Winchester and the .35 Whelen never set any sales records so a used one may be somewhat hard to find. I know in my case that both rounds are too good to ever get rid of any I own....
