If the unlubed boolits feel like they need sizing a spoon full of liquid dish washing detergent and enough water to covert them will slick them up nicely. Rinse them a couple of times and dry them...

The extra weight out front is useful on a long offhand shot at a squirrel head. the rest of the time it is excess weight.

I have killed several dozen with the Lee 150 grain boolit over 14.5 grains of 2400. That is around a hundred FPS slower than what yo listed. I doubt that an extra hundred FPS and 20 more grains of...

In my AO an angry mamma sow is likely the most dangerous game i am likely to face. if i am hunting them i doubt there will be a difference. if they are hunting me i will take the 45 70.

Mamma said don't use hers for that. A toaster oven was the cheapest alternative. My feet are still warm at night.

A lot of them will keep their word. Of course that does not have anything to do with the next one.

Try some Remington bulk ammo and you will think more kindly toward the Winchester. I quit buying the Remington in 1988 I did not quit on the Winchester until 1992. The last Federal i bought was in...
I would start low and work up while firing groups. let your shoulder tell you when to quit and go back to the last accuracy node. My rifle likes 40 gr of 3031 under a Lee 405 gr HBFN. Actually it...

While you are at Wal Mart for the bbs go by the fishing stuff and get a hook remover. coat the tips with PC. and remove the locks,

I have tried both Teflon and AF. I was never satisfied with the technique of wrapping the AF. your pics confirm that that problem was me. the Teflon worked great in both my 270 and 30 30 except for...

If this is your first venture into cast with a rifle a 6.5 would be asking for frustration. something in either 30 or 35 cal will give you more choice in boolit selection. A case with at least a 2...

It is not gloating it is just sharing the good news.
It is only gloating when someone else does it.
Congratulations on the new rifle.

Just found this thread so a little late on the reply.

If it is easy for you to roll on that boolit your patch will be better. A poor wrap will have more effect than the angle of the cut. I am not saying that the angel has no effect just that other...

Not alone you aren't i helped too. I started buying by the case in 1992 and quit it it got to be what i no longer considered to be a bargain ($150) per case. Now I am a hoarder because I choose to...
I use 36 grains of H 4350 behind a Lee 150grain FN with a gas check. this is a lightly compressed load. It is my most accurate load in my Marlin, NEF, and Winchester trapper. The trapper recoil and...

It depends on which firearm it is for. At present I use a lot more 22 Hornet than I do 45 70 because crows are a lot easier to find than bears or deer. Other loadings I and several other family...

Forum: Cast Boolits
The situation is too easy to avoid to take the chance. go to a faster powder if you need a slower velocity.
