Well... that wasn't the problem after all! I was shooting some GT Bullets 325gr FN through my rifle and it wasn't feed reliably. Then (after all this time) I realized it was because I was working...

No response to phone calls or emails (or written letters). I won't be using Western Bullet Company anymore...

Don't get me wrong, I know some cast bullet suppliers are behind - it's just there's nothing on Western Bullet Company's website about delays. I order from GT Bullets too and they are just now...

The phone number doesn't seem to work and no response to emails... guess I'll try sending a letter.
Five shots with the WST load at 25 yards. My eyes are not what they used to be!

I'll have to check my records but I think I used the above combo with 2.5 grains of N-310 - didn't see anything superior with it (different story in the .45 ACP!)
Thinking hard about getting a...

In stock and on sale. The credit card charge went through, never had a problem with them before. It's not anything I'm short on, some cast boolits for my 45-70 and 38-55. I'll send another email...

Was the Beretta Stampede made by Uberti? I've got some load data for those...
Seems like I've been trying forever to beat/match the Federal Gold Medal Match load... I think I may have finally done it! I've tried Bullseye, 231, N310 and 700-X but it was MAGIC when I tried WST!...

I ordered some bullets back in April and still haven't received my order, no response to my email either. I've never had problems with them before... did something happen?
Forum: Cast Boolits
I haven't tried a plain base bullet, but at these velocities I would go with a gascheck design!

As AndyC knows, I posted this on another site. But rather than start another thread here are my results with cast bullets in the 44 AMP.

I really like VZ grips, and the grips on my Wilson Combat Accu Comp are pretty nice too (but too dark)!
