I can not imagine casting again without a 6 ounce Garland rawhide mallet. Seemingly light as a feather but gets the job done on the first stroke every time. Non-marring and Amazing shock absorption...

If you look up at the Cast Boolits logo you will see a pretty accurate depiction of the Wilbird bullet. I actually started a thread years ago about my results with this mold and Newtire threw in a...

Also I highly recommend the purchase of a Lyman M-die for this caliber. It just makes everything work easier.

9.3x62AL is dead on about the Remington 6 1/2 primers for the 32/20 they are the best in my loads. 5.5gr Unique 120gr, .314-120 RNFP Wilbird Group Buy and a 6 1/2 primer is fishing story accurate in...

I use an RCBS Uniflow with the small micrometer barrel. Red Dot, well let's just say Red Dot has really grown on me. I came into a deal some years ago for couple kegs of it from an older hunting...

I've had excellent accuracy with the NOE .225-45-WFN in my Ruger No.1B .22 Hornet. I get 5 shot averages under 1.25 MOA at 100 yds and just under half inch groups at 50 yds. My son has commandeered...

I could not be more pleased with ones I have. Impeccable machining and surface finish. Also the .263" x .259 inch one has been the final piece of the puzzle in my years long battle with my 25/20...
Lyman 314299 sized .310in, 15 gr aa1680, rem 7 1/2 , 2.140in OAL. Under 1.5 MOA average for 5-5shot groups @ 100 meters out of my Daniel Defense barrel.

Nothing I have used compares to a 6oz Garland rawhide mallet. Non marring, non splintering. Seemingly willing to last forever. Made in the USA. I often wonder how I got along prior.

This isn't a poll it's a rant . If you were concerned about your safety you should have made an active effort to get you and yours out of his path rather than get in a shouting match with an armed...
In my .358 win Ruger Hawkeye 42grs of Win748 gives me 2000 fps with the RCBS 35-250-SP that weighs 262gr checked and lubed. 5 shot groups average under 1.5inches. I also have the Saeco 352 mould but...

Iron Sight in Oklahoma is the only place to get Redfield repair done in my opinion. I have never heard a good thing about ABO in Miami but I have heard a lot of horror stories. Like keeping your...

It is all H4227 now, even though it says IMR 4227 on the bottle.

Sundog, Bwana Bob won't have to beagle that mold. It is the same design as the 32-170-FN ,it just casts at .325in. I would be honing that sizer to .323in though Bob.

Kahles has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Swarovski for some time now. It is sort of a Chevrolet to Swarovski's Cadillac kind of thing. I would also look at Zeiss. I think that their American...

OK, I'll bite. What Lyman mould is this a copy of? Its a Hell of lot better than 311008 or its hollow-point 31133. At least that has been my experience in my rifles. Is it a heavier version of...

That original Wilbird bullet that 45-2.1 designed sure is something. Phenomenally accurate in my 32-20 rifles. Leaves all the classic 32-20 moulds(Lyman 311008, 311316) in the dust. I would love...

I cannot resist any longer. I must BUMP. I am really eager in the most grim and earnest way to get my hands on this mould.
Now I can rest easy.
