This wasn't my experience at all. When I started messing with PC, I had an assortment of commercial hard cast slugs, both pistol & rifle that I wanted to "spearmint" with. Some of those box tail-ends...

I agree that "fit is king" but will add "Final Fit" to the equation as an experiment I did with 250 grain PC'd .452 slugs in a 45-70, something that started out as a "lets see what will happen" lark...

That's not my experience at all. All my cast are COWW so not especially hard and nothing gets sent downrange harder than 11-1200 fps and I purposely only shoot for "in the ribs double lung shots"...

This the way to do it. I never approach a deer from the "kicking" end or side, always from the back and the first thing I do is stand on an ear or horn and of there is any indication of life left the...

I started out with a thrift store Toaster oven and it served me well but last fall I lucked onto a very good working order Kitchen range that someone had replaced with a new one...they even...

I have two Lubesizers on my bench, one has lube in it, the other complete machine has been boiled to remove any lube of any kind from it so there is no chance of contaminating the slugs I will be...

I walked into a room in my basement tonight and just started throwing $h!t...after a couple of hrs. danged if I didn't find a gun repair desk on one side of the room and a loading bench with couple...

The part of the equation your forgetting with that statement is his stated fact that these slugs didn't lead the barrel so the PC was obviously doing its job even without GC. My own testing (30-30 &...

Personally I think there are two things in play here, shot placement & hollow point, hitting that particular spot with a substantial amount of bone mass, that hollow point did the only thing could...

Not always the case here...The open areas I used to hunt regularly had lots of deer that traveled in herds up to a dozen or more in numbers and numerous tags available so a string of shots just meant...

The local hunting regs. we have is somewhat vague in their definition of "non-expanding". For years it did mean FMJ (read that to mean military surp) was not allowed for hunting and that thought is...

Is that a Sask jubilee 94. I had one of those and the **** chamber was to tight to allow seating anything larger than .375 and the bore slugged at .377 wouldn't group worth a dang...sure is cool...

I also have two 450's that I use. The first one still has the old grease lube in it but the other one I cleaned out so that it is absolutely dry & clean and I use this one to size boolits that I plan...

Nice job man...Handgun hunting has always been a "bucket list" thing for me to do (especially with my 1942 issue 1911). But , alas, up here in the frozen north my govnt. wont trust me (or anyone else...

Good job sir!! I wanted to use my '89 Marlin in 38 WCF this year as well but when the opportunity arose to put some meat in the freezer I had my '86 45-90 close at hand so used it...Oh well there's...

Actually I agree with you on the old goat or boar but when it comes to deer I have no preference, big and old is just as good as any young animal...if it is prepped properly.

I discovered long...

an update to my post # 87 & 94

Well I didn't get to use either my early 94 in 38-55 or my 89 Marlin in 38 wcf. but I did get to use an 1886 in 45-90. it just happened to be handiest when a...

I saved three deer this AM...damn I'm getting soft in my crochety old age...had two fawns and their mother about 30 yrds off my back deck and let them walk. The mother appeared to be a first year...

very curious...did you cut a "cherry" and more or less chamber ream or did you just set up a small I d inside reamer and cut a straight shank leaving the old nose intact.

Man you guys that get to hunt in mild weather and complain about it need to come up here for a "rut" hunt. While this is the warmest beginning of November in 35 yrs, usually we are in the -10 range...

Likewise on the lee locking rings with the "o" ring...simple fix for them...remove, turn up-side down, re-install, use the same as all other makes of lock rings.

The first batch I did with the handful of 44 mag brass chambered in my marlin However, with a second batch of brass I received from a friend I had 4 out of 40 that wouldn't allow the neck to enter...

You do not understand the(ITAR) export regs. from the States to Canada...Private individuals caught bringing any reloading supplies, brass (used or new), powder, bullets, primers from the States are...

.45 colt base is .480. 38-40 is .465. you might squeeze a colt case down at the web with a robust swaging outfit but for an easy size in a regular size die the 44 case works. The 44 case is 8 thou...

Not Hi-teck but I know of a fellow that has shot considerable amounts of PC,d boolits thru a AR gas port that has noticed no degradation in function from gas port shaving so I would think Mag porting...
