    I thought about that, but I’m a little too ham handed to properly patch a .257 or so bullet.

    I haven't invested in any 6.5 casting equipment yet, and I have been testing a 156 gr Hunters Supply .266" bullet that I ordered unsized because it drops at .269". I have some in plain cast and...

    Pitted Surplus Bore and Cast

    I have a 6.5 Carcano Carbine that I would like to shoot cast bullets in due to its age and the lack of proper .268" jacketed bullets. The problem is that the bore is kind of rough. Looking through...

    I think if it’s questionable, I’ll stay away from it.
  6. Forum: Leverguns

    Is this bullet too pointy for a lever gun?

    319734

    Just wondering if something like this might be dangerous or if it is OK for a tube magazine.

    I didn’t use my Lee expander die this time. Instead I used a Hornady 32 H&R magnum die and only inserted the case enough to expand the case enough to insert the bullet. Not a particularly efficient...

    I think I figured out my problem. I used new brass, but when I checked the case lengths, they were all over the place. I suspect that the ones I was having trouble with were the ones that were the...

    Thanks for the replies. If I have time after work, I'll try to work up a couple more and take careful note of where I'm having issues.

    I have loaded reduced 30-30 loads before using soft point 30 carbine bullets, and the process went flawlessly, but I recently decided to load some cast reduced loads using .32 S&W Long (.312")...

    Thanks. This is excellent. At least now I have a starting point for loads.
  12. Powder Coated Bullets in a Pitted Bore

    I've never shot any powder coated rifle bullets before. How do powder coated bullets hold up in a rifle barrel with a mildly pitted bore? Does the PC come off in the rough spots or stick to the...
  13. No. I’ve not got everything yet to start...

    No. I’ve not got everything yet to start casting. These are 155 gr unsized Hunters Supply bullets. They told me that they drop at .267-268 and then they powder coat , so they should be .268-269”. ...
  14. 160 gr cast 6.5 Carcano Load Data Request

    Like the title says, I’m looking for 160 grain cast load data for 6.5 Carcano. I’ve scoured all my manuals, and the largest cast bullet listed is around 140 grains, and the powder selections seem to...

    OK. I finally got the carbon off my lands. They now appear to be a coppery brass color from end to end. The grooves appear to be filled with either nasty copper deposits or they are very pitted. ...

    I’m sure it is a dark bore. I would like to get as much crud out of the grooves as I can before I slug it again. I’m not sure how accurate my first slug was because the bore was so rough. It...

    Just using what I have, I’ve continued to use Hoppe’s #9 and Rem 40-X with brass brushes and patches. Today I really scrubbed at it with the 40-X and an undersized brush doing many short strokes all...

    I will say that Hoppe’s has had the greatest effect on it so far. At least now the grooves and lands are well defined. Originally it just looked like the smooth inside of a tailpipe. I was worried...

    Not tried filling the bore yet, but I’m all out of elbow grease, and close to out of JB Bore paste. I’m guessing that this stuff has been there since the 40s, and probably has a whole war’s worth of...

    Hard carbon removal from surplus rifle

    I have a surplus rifle that has a completely black bore. I can tell that it has strong rifling, but it looks like it has been completely covered in rhino truck bed lining. I’ve thrown all the...

    Thanks guys. I actually have the Lyman’s 4th edition Cast Bullet Handbook, but I guess I never read the part about casting. I’ve only used it for load data. I’ll give it a read.
