Here in Virginia we have some big aggressive squirrels. I developed a cast bullet load using some 255 grain over sized SWCs out of a 45-70 case with 13 grains of unique. It stops dead in the middle...

Damn Son;
Didn't those guys at Bragg teach you how to use a bayonet? When the critters are that close don't waste ammo, stick 'em.

I'm not low on primers, cases or powder. What I'm low on is copper plated pistol slugs for the indoor range. When it gets warmer the cast slugs will start going down range. I never saw jacketed and...

All of my pistol presses have case mouth expanders as part of the powder charging. All of my rifle cases, excepting the 7.62-51, use Lyman 'M' dies.
I customise all of them to suit my sense of...

Casting is not unlike driving, the more you do the better you are and the less tense you are doing it.
If you don't like the looks of a bullet melt it down and cast it again.

It's not that the molds are expensive, it's the dollars are almost worthless.
A few more years and we will be able to get dollars on a roll. One roll can go in the bath room and the other can hang...

My ex's uncle raised sheep in Augusta County, near the town. We could sit up on the hill in the center of his farm and watch the dogs come out of the sub division near by, to run the sheep. The dogs...

Try to score as much lead and lead alloy as possible. Tons of the stuff, any useable alloy. Scarfing up lead can become a side hobby to casting.

When I buy a fresh box of gas checks, the first thing I do is anneal them.
The gas checks are work hardened and need to be softened.

I have never mixed my own lube, but I think I know do know how to make a lube that I bought for years. When I started casting and such most folks looked at me like I was creating witches brew and...

I've a got a bunch of time feeding 45 Colts. I use what ever lead I have, mostly WW with a bit of tin. I use LBT lube for everything, size the bullets .454., 8.5 to 9.5 grains of Unique, Winchester...

All of my 45 Colt revolvers like 8.5 to 9.5 grains of Unique behind a 250 grain SWC sized .454. My Rossi likes 20 grains of H110, 300 grain cast or condum. The cast 300 grain bullets are sized .454...

Looks to me that you and the rifle did a fine job. Good shooting!
