Only killed one wild (feral) hog. Weighed in around 250# and she was plumb delicious. We feed'em good in Alabama ie; corn, soybeans, wheat, chufas. This one was killed in Loundes County just above...

Henry Single Shot 357Magnum.

gotta go with the circular saw with reversed blade. Son in law and I had some 2"x8' lead rods to cut up to melt and the circular saw saved the day for us.

Yep, ran some 160gr LEE R1 (nose flattened slightly during sizing deliberately) over 11.5gr Unique in my Savage 308Win. Sweet plinking load but still capable of ruining Mr Coyote's perfect day. Load...

Reading mold prep instructions for new MP molds, he recommends rubbing a lead pencil on the pins to keep lead from sticking. So, on my new mold I followed his instructions of pre-heating the mold in...

Putting in the required data asked for with the JBM Ballistics calculator software, my Stability rating for my 357 bullets range from 3.243 to 3.406 thus according to calculations should be plenty...

Yes it is a 4.2" GP100 357Magnum. And Thanks for the 357shooter link.

That's good to hear. Not really hung up on heavy for caliber bullets but would like one heavy bullet/load combo for woods walking and for "what if" circumstances. The LEEC358-158gr swc and the 358477...

Thanks Gentlemen for your insight/experience. Really gave barrel twist no thought when I bought. My new MP 173 Hammer mold with my alloy throws a 168gr solid and a 163gr cup point. So actually weight...

Sorry if I'm in wrong section but what's is the heaviest/lightest bullet for 4.2" barrel with twist of 1 in 18 3/4"? Have 150/158swc and 165HP and 170 WFN cast bullets.
Thanks for any help offered.

No attorney here, but if sold as a pistol, a carbine buffer tube is legal. If sold as a rifle and converted to a pistol w/brace according to their rule, removing the brace it's still illegal. I was...

Mike,
How do you like your Rossi 357? Use to have a PUMA 357 based of the Win Mod 92. Like a dork sold it to raise funds to buy a T/C Contender: bad mistake. I have what is almost an incurable...

shoestring,
Thanks for sharing your expertise. My 173 Hammer mold drops solids at 165gr and cup points at 159-160gr. If I have problems with accuracy, I'll try running them a little harder.
I...

Thanks. Casts up a bunch Tuesday but had bad weather and today was brutally cold with a few snow flurries. Hope to get to the range next week. Use mainly 2400 and H110 but will load some of your...

TXTad,
Your 44Spec is the same one I had. Chambers and throats were right on the money. Also, I agree, you won't need gas checks. I ran mine w/o checks just a smidge over 1200fps without leading...

TXTad,
went thru the same ordeal about 10yrs ago. Heard the very same negative things about Lyman molds and quality. Finally said what the heck and ordered a 2 cavity 429421 Lyman mold. Up to that...

Just ordered one today for my 357Mag GP100 4.2". Gas Check version. Anybody using that and what's been your results? I plan to use my normal alloy resulting in 11 - 12Bhn. Molds has the large/small...

Congratulations on a nice doe and some good shooting as well. Kudos

And a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours also. Pretty dog. Lost mine 3yrs ago next month.

Congratulations on your very successful hunt. Enjoy your harvest.

Being in Alabama, I try to do all my casting in the winter but sometimes run short on inventory thus have to cast in the heat of summer. However, never noticed any accuracy issues besides, never...

Always better to let'em walk/run. Like others said, you're in a good area. saw several deer myself a couple or 3 weeks ago but due to my position and the deer positions, couldn't shoot due to...

Glad you scored< nice fat looking doe.

I've had an Axis in 223, 300BLK and 308 and all were as accurate as any other rifle I've owned. Upgraded the 308 to the Savage Apex Hunter but not any difference in accuracy just aesthetics and a...

Used/using both a cross draw and a bandoleer style holster for my 44Spec flattop and for my 357 GP100 for hunting/hiking or tractor work on the farm. Both have their pros and cons however, for me,...
