Yes, I have tested the 640 in multiple revolvers. My experience is that it is as accurate as all of my SWC target loads and even keeps up with my WC target loads in the 38 Special. Also seems to be...

I have this exact mold, MP 359-640 170 gr, in an aluminum 8 cavity. Zero issues with fillout using COWW. No tin sweetener. Just an outstanding mold and very accurate boolit.. As a bonus it shoots...

I run 43.9 gr of IMR 4064. It is the accuracy load in the Sierra manual and they were/are right. It's not a hot or over pressure load at all. Just middle to upper end and super accurate.

Anyone here load 35 Rem with light (1K fps) to moderate (13-1500 fps) loads for their lever guns? I have a wide array of molds in 35 cal but thought the MP 359640 would be a real good place to...

But if I build a rocket engine it's all gone in one launch.

I have a pile of 6.5 Swede's. Will play with it a bit in one of those. Good idea.

Will do some research on the RUM's too. Leaning to the 7mm Rem because I have a pile of 154+gr jacketed...

Cast or j-words. I'm good with either/or. My slate is clean for options.

The good'ol 7mm Rem Mag seemed to love H870 with 160gr+ jacketed. It's high on the list of options.

So, I fell into a sizable quantity of H870 powder. Powder is good and fresh. I have some ideas on what chambering to build a rifle on, but what do you all recommend? I have enough powder to burn...

Picked up a nice JC Higgins Model 45 in 35 Rem from a wonderful gentleman I met at our last Pistol match. Bore is pristine. Looking forward to testing some cast loads with it. My first...

Thanks Mike. A little more detail on the load development. I started at 4.0 gr and worked up in .2gr increments. Up until 5.2 gr the case did not eject and stayed in the chamber. Very light...

Follow-up on the mystery powder. Worked up loads in 45 ACP/1911. 5.9 gr is running 780-790fps with a 200 gr SWC. Clean burn and functions great. I couldn't waste it.....LOL. Gave away a few lbs...

Any of the previously mentioned powders will work very well for heavy 223 Rem/5.56 loads. I'll add IMR 4166, IMR 4064, Power Pro Varmint, AR Comp, VV140, and even BL-C2(a little too slow). Although...

Thanks for all the input gents......I can use the powder for virtually anything, as I load for most every caliber you can think of. I'm well versed in surplus powders and even techniques to test...

Hey, thank you for searching Eddie. I really appreciate it. I thought it would be a full metal "mini" barrel, but turns out it is only 1/4 full. So only about 5-6 lbs. If I don't find any data...

Anyone heard of this powder? SR 8159-X. Stored in a sealed metal drum. Made in May 1972 per the Dupont date code.

There is enough that testing would be worth while.

Thanks!!

Cut bait and run.......while Nikon made decent rifle scopes......optically, it's only a matter of time before it fails in some other way. Who knows if they honor the refund when that happens. Get...

If you can get your hands on one.......the best all around mold for me has been the MP 452-200RNHP. Feeding and accuracy in one package. I have a brass 4 cavity and it's beautiful to cast with. I...

Wow.......that got deep. Plenty of opinion on this one. OP asked a simple value question. Then......dogpile. C'mon, I think if assumptions aren't made everyone would agree on the ultimate...

Haven't been around for a while......seen your post from back in Sep. Though I would share last year's deer with my Husky. NOE 280gr. Great rifle.
...

The bullet you have in your first post performs. Accurate and deadly. ; )

I had absolutely no issues with a blood trail. He only ran about 40 to 50 yards and laid down to pass. The bullet did a fine, fine job and no surprise it was a complete pass through. If you hit...

Gents,
Thanks for the kind words. Same rifle in both pics. M46 Husky from Simpsons, LTD. Shoots right to POA at 150 yds with both loads below.

Load is PPU 8x57 brass necked up with one pass...

Great meat doe and great story with the 357 Max. Congrats...... ; )

That RCBS 35-200 is a honey of a boolit. I like the 359-190 Ranch Dog too.

Now go get another one...... LOL.

Nice story and buck! With the classic cartridge too. Great job.

That boolit shoots wonderful out of mine with a safe but decent charge of WC846 (BL-C2). Right at 2075 fps. 2 - 2 1/4" groups are the norm at 100yds with the factory sights. No sight adjustments...
