I plan to work up a load this summer for deer and don't feel like reinventing the wheel. What are you guys sizing to in this rifle? I have a .309 sizer, but I'm concerned that may be a tad small....

44MAG#1 Thanks. The reason I asked about the crimp groove is because in some threads I've read some folks are using the one closest to the nose and others are using the one second from the nose. I'd...

I've seen various threads about .44 Magnum load data for this mold, but I can't find one that includes complete information. I have H110 powder, so what I need to know is a good starting load for...

Okay, I've seen on here that the fix is the Grainger 54MY45 spring. However, when I looked it up on Grainger the spring looked nothing like what I've seen on this site. Are they using a generic photo...
I recently purchased some furniture for a shotgun from Waarp8nt and was extremely pleased with the deal. He shipped promptly, packaged it well and the items were as described. He also communicated...

I can kinda see the Fish and Wildlife's point on depredation. But only in such situations because you would have a high concentration of shot in one area.
My question is "Why now?" Small game...

I don't think Midsouth has anything to do with the production of this "cloned" press. Natchez Shooters Supply is selling the same press for $13.99. It is nothing new, I saw it at least a year ago,...
I would check the classifieds section and see if you can locate one of the NOE .360-180-WFP GC molds from a group buy a while back. I have gotten very good accuracy from it and it puts the smackdown...
I think you are correct. The 500 was chosen due to greater penetration (and maybe accuracy, not sure on that one) at long ranges, so I have read. It was the bunker buster of rifles. A great bullet...
Albertapete,
that is a great hunting bullet. I have been using them with a medium load of Reloder-7 in a High-Wall and a Handi-Rifle. Shot a whitetail doe two weeks ago with one and the damage...

I have been hanging around here for a while and have gleaned a lot of information. After almost a year of experimenting with the knowledge I have gained here, I put it to the test this weekend. .357...

Unique for some loads
Clays for various .38 and .45 loads (very clean)
Lil' Gun for heavy .357 Mag hunting loads (operates at lower pressures than its competitors)
I have not used the 4198, but I have loaded some with 3031. From what I have seen, the 45-70 is pretty accurate no matter how powerful the load. (So long as it is a safe published load, which you...

I'm gonna go with firing pin as well. I got a new Handi about a year and a half ago and was getting pierced primers every few shots, and the load did not matter. After comparing my fired primers to...
JeffinNZ,
please tell me I can use one of the pictures you posted in my outdoors blog. Too Awesome! Now I'll have to look around and see if I can find a pair. (Longjohns, not Wallaby scrotum.)
There are many different Bowie designs. The only original Bowie knife I have ever seen, made by Rezin Bowie as I recall, is the Shivley Bowie which is in the Old Capitol Museum in Jackson...
I've got a couple of Old Hickory knives, the oldest are just stamped Ontario Knife Works. (or something like that) One looks exactly like yours. Despite having several knives in the $100+ range, I...
I'm gonna say Garmin as well. We have several of them. (GPS III, GPS 40, GPS 12, GPS72 and GPSMAP76CSX) The one I use the most is the 76CSX, but that is because of the amount of time I spend on the...
Please do post pics. I am interested. Most of my Arkansas stones have disappeared.....hmmm, think my kid has anything to do with that?

Your luck must be rubbing off on me. I ordered a set of dies and some .243 WSSM brass yesterday from Jeff Jones on this site...$20...can't beat that. So this morning, before I went to my lease to...

That rarely, if ever happens to me. All I ever see at gun shows are overpriced parts and used guns priced the same as I would pay for a new one at a sporting goods store. Good for you! I am envious.

That is a sad state of affairs. I feel for him and his family. What almost bothered me as much was a comment, the only comment, left on the site. Someone said what should have been done to avoid...

The base quenching sure sounds good. I softened about 100 bullet noses while the bases were submerged in a water pan last weekend and it seemed like it took forever!

Thanks everyone. I guess it'll be kitty litter since it the easiest option for me to obtain. But, it's good to know there are other good choices out there.
Forum: Cast Boolits
.360 DW's and milder 45-70.
Anyone used cat litter? Seems like it would have plenty of weight and conform as well. Though I wonder how long it would last.
