I was reading that a case full of IMR Trail Boss works quite well and gives medium velocities.
I have an NEF in this caliber. I want to work up a load that delivers about 1400 fps. The...

My question is why? What would that do for you really?

I haven't put hands on one of these yet. But I do have several NEF Handi Rifles - and they are good shooters - range from OK to very good accuracy. And they are made in the USA and priced...

Well, as it turns out, mountain molds can't make or won't make a mold heavier than 225 grains for a .338" boolit. The software basically tells you to "no" and prevents the order of a heavier boolit....

I was planning on using what I've used with good success on all of my other rifle boolits - Lee liquid alox. I use it to size and then tumble again and let dry.
Nice lookin designs guys - and...

Yes, I see what you are saying now. I've gone back and played with the parameters some more... I'm waiting for a closing on some land before I go ahead and make the final design and order...

I measured several jacketed bullets to get their dimensions and nose length, etc. They are designed (and do) fit standard magazines and such.

Thanks for the links. I have to admit that I kind of like the idea of having my very own OSOK design mold :lovebooli
And the unsupported portion of the nose would be remidied if I extended the...

impact slug = alternative chamber cast?
makes sense. That would show the exact dimensions... as long as the boolit isn't over maximum OACL and fits in the magazine...

I have a new 338-06 Savage rifle - actually it started as a Stevens 200 .270 and I've switched the barrel, added a rifle basix trigger and replaced the plastic trigger guard with a steel one.

Take down huh. Cool.
All of my stuff from Grafs arrived! They had everything in stock.

Is that a recent production Winny? I suppose so, given there aren't a lot of originals floating around.

Did another search and found this thread: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/search.php?searchid=2269193
But no happy ending... Olle? What happended next?
Forum: Cast Boolits
Great thread! I enjoyed reading through this. Found it on a search for the RCBS mold.
I just ordered one.
I've read that this is a "bore rider" design and the nose measures .410"? If so,...

The Connecticut Marlin plant is closing.
From the report, sounds like they are moving to North Carolina - where parent company Remington Arms is located.
Costs in NC are much much lower.

Speaking of Burris - you may consider their new Fast Fire reflex sight (very small) mounted in a mid-barrel adapter mount (Turnbull makes this). This avoids all of ejection issues.
I personally...

Yeah, its not the lube IMHO. Its the fit/alloy. I'm getting leading too with some 44 Special loads and 10mm loads (Glock with Storm Lake barrel). The leading is at the breach end -which...
