Derek45---Where is that range you are shooting at. Looks like ARPC in Mo.
Another reloading question...I have a bunch of .38spl dewc loaded with 2.8gr. bullseye(148gr. bullet) for my smith 52. I was shooting them in my model 60 and was hitting about 8" low at 7yds. I...

I am also using H4895, 27 gr. with an NOE 150gr. bullet. Shoots ok with iron sights, I will be mounting up a scope soon, hope to shrink those groups. Wanting to bang steel at 400yds. My groups...
Forum: Cast Boolits
sounds good, thanks guys. I did not slug the bore, but most Ruger SBHs seem to be at .4295 or so. My alloy runs about BHN 10-11, ok for easy to shoot light loads.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I recently inherited from my dad 16 .44 mags. The two Rugers I want to use as shooters both have cyl. throats measuring .432" I just found an old Lyman 429421 which casts .433". Ok for the...
Forum: Leverguns
Thanks for all the great input, especially Larry for the education on pressure. Will try the Bullseye and check each case for proper powder fill. My preferred powder is Unique, but also going to...
Forum: Leverguns
I read an article by Paco Kelly and he states that Bullseye has a pressure curve with a fast spike that is hard on the 1873's, even though one may load the cartridge with low peak pressure. This man...

Forum: Boolit Lube !
I have always thought lube type does not matter much as long as it does its job. I was so wrong! I have been playing with cast loads for my m1a and tried quite a few lubes, including Hi-Tek...

I am currently using H-4895 and looking for an alternative powder. western lists Tac for jacketed bullets but not cast. Burn rate is real close so I thought it would be a good choice. I

Does anyone use ram shot tack for their cast bullet loads I am thinking about 27 or 28 g for a 160 grain bullet anyone have any input thank you. Stupid me I forgot to mention it is a 308 Winchester

John Boy, thanks for that link, I bookmarked that one, I will have to study it for a bit and learn how to use it. Garandsrus, ha ha---use a bigger piece of paper, I like that one. Really though, I...

For those that have shot cast boolits in your M1a, I need your experiance. I have my rifle zeroed at 100yds with a jacketed 150gr. HPBT at 2700fps. After reading BruceB's sticky, I have my first...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
I just got an M1a and will cast for it. How well does Hi-Tek coating play with j-word fouling. I know we must have a clean barrel to shoot cast with normal lubes, but say I shoot 50 rounds of...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I shoot the same boolit, had leading too using bullseye. Switched to Unique and can now shoot all day with minimal lead in the bore, with easy clean up. I was thinking it has something to do with...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Don't forget if you use harder alloy, you can also water drop when casting and get your boolits even harder.
Forum: Cast Boolits
At first I had the same problem with 9mm. I am using the same boolit, only mine drops at about .359 and I shoot without sizing. It turned out by switching powder 90% of the leading went away, and...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
I would say so too. No need to mess around with any other loads for that gun, unless you just want to have some more fun doing it.:lovebooli
Forum: Cast Boolits
It mainly causes problems with boolit seating, and sometimes with larger fins it can bulge the brass a bit. They still chamber, but I don't like it, and probably lose a bit of accuracy too. I like...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I did turn down the pot, and cast at a slow pace. Maybe I described the problem wrong. I called it a smear, but really it looked more like "finning" around the boolit base,not so much a smear. ...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Not sure if this is the right forum for this but here goes anyway. My two newest Lee molds, a .358 158gr.rf and a .452 255gr. rf both leave smeared boolit bases no matter what I did. Tried slowing...
I did beagle my .30 mold. I just do not think one should have to if they buy a mold supposed to cast at .311 and it turns out boolits at.307-.308.
