Good to know there's another Athlon contributor out there in the cast boolit world, Garrett.

Sized 300 fired .357 Mag cases that I picked up at the local gun shop. They had loading stickers on them from 1968 (not mine). Also sized and cleaned with steel pins about 400 .308 cases that have...

My first deer hunt was at age 12 in 1974, but it wasn't until I was 17 in 1980 that I finally connected on an old SE NC "swamper" 6-pointer. He was being chased by deer hounds and came by me at 12...

Loaded all of my pure Pb on a trailer and hauled it from the house in town to my barn in the country. We moved to the farm before Thanksgiving and I've been working on my new reloading shop an hour...

I'm working case forming for a .358 wildcat based upon 7.62x39. I need to push the shoulder, slight though it is, out a bit. I need some help on the step-by-step process of "hydro-forming."

Paid mine, too. What's the ETA? I'm preparing to move.

When I bowhunt, I would never consider shooting at deer with field points. Although not an equal comparison to a subsonic .300 AAC Blackout/.300 Whisper/.300 Fireball, it does have quite a few...

Please put me down for a 4-cavity with both sets of pins. JayLangston at Comcast dot net

I find Norma R1 listed in several burn rate charts as the fastest, but can't find any information about it. Can someone tell me something about this powder?

I think you are out of luck with cast boolits of any type. The twist rate for the .338 Spectre is too fast for even water-quenched Linotype. My experience is that it will lead heavily owing to the...

Winchester 1300 pump-action 12 gauge turkey gun shooting Winchester No. 4 High-Velocity turkey loads. These were new loads at the time, and the engineers from Winchester were in a sweat for me to try...

I'm a fan, too, of shooting projectiles that are capable of plenty of penetration, which will produce an exit on a broadside shot. A buck-of-a-lifetime doesn't always present a classic broadside...

The distance at which the bullet goes trans-sonic.

I've gummed up the works on an AR several times by shooting with a suppressor, but a few drops of CLP gets 'em running again. I've never heard anyone say you shouldn't shoot an AR with a suppressor...

Great thread, and a lot of good info, Robert. Deer don't die "well" with well-placed shots from the .300 BLK class of weapons beyond 200 yards. Doesn't matter if its heavy subs, fast 110s, jacketed...

I posted on here recently that I throw the painted stick-on lead weights with my clip-ons. I found a few ingots from the painted lead stickies under my bench today and read my notes that say that...

Styrofoam 50-round .45 ACP box inserts make great holders for my sized and lubed .458 boolits.

The first time in over a year that I've asked for WW anywhere, I stopped by the local tire shop where I do business and picked up a 6-gallon bucket full. Only a double-handful of zink and steel....

With a spirit in keeping with Davy Crockett and his band of Tennessee Volunteers who fought and died at the Alamo in Texas' fight for independance, you may wish to expand your search. No disrespect...

Better be careful. If you've got more than one cat and they lay on your open gun cases, the other will likely get jelous and "mark" the gun case. Found out the hard way this happened to one of my...

The Trapdoor-level loads have served me well in my .45/70 Handi Rifle for the past 15 years. I've shot enough of the hotter loads to know that this isn't the gun I want to shoot them in routinely....

I've had the same problem, too. What length do you trim cases to?

I'll have enough when there's enough to last my two sons (15 and 20). Looks like 3,000+ lbs of clip-on, 2,000 lbs of soft and 500 lbs of lino. That's a fair start.

I'll be happy to trade you pure Pb for your pewter, since you're making fishing sinkers.

The meat will be fine. A gas check won't be any different than a piece of copper jacket material from a jacketed bullet often found in a wound channel. It usually takes a bullet upset to seperate the...
