    YUP! I load 75G of H335 or BLC2 behind a 500G cast. It will clear your sinuses and cause retina detachment. It kicks harder than my custom 460 WBY with no muzzel brake.

    I never trim straight wall pistol brass. You begin to run into neck splits before they need trimming.

    I use the Lyman #311291 which drops at 170G using wheel weights. It is inherently accurate with all my 30's.

    I find that after using the solvents, if there are rough spots, a #2 lead pencil will clean things up and leave a thin film of graphite that is a great boolit release.

    Due to the mass that you are pouring it is common for the melt to remain hot, IE frosty. When you remelt to cast boolits, if you control the temp, the end result will be nice shiny results!

    I have used TCCI 870 in the 300 Win mag & 460 Weatherby improved. Just fill the case to the neck & seat a heavy boolit on it. No pressure, but left a hard to clean fouling in the bore.

    Linotype is about the best mix for good casting and hardness. Tin allows a better flow/fill of a mold but to much creates solder and drops the melt temp to a point of causing leading of the bore.
