You’re happy. We’re happy. For sure there is more load data for the 308 , 30-06 and 223 by far than any other calibers. Plus the 308 is pretty efficient. This was a great posting. In 40 years you’ll...

I’ve used MBC hiTek bullets in 45-70 and 30-30. I really like them. Get them sized right to shoot good. Too small and you may be disappointed with any ones coated bullets.

BobT, also check out gmdr.com for light loads in several bullet weights.

PS davidheart , time to buy another 30/30. More fun to be had.

BobT don’t feel bad. I’ve been reading castboolit for years, I’ve never made the search function work. Go to Google, Bing or DuckDuckGo and search for light 45/70 loads, it will show many, some at...

I just checked this again, davidheart is still kicking. He is happy with his choice, had years of enjoyment. Now that’s sooo cool!

Surely NH has local bee keepers and honey producers. Google is your friend. Not the time of year for garden markets but the honey/ jelly sellers may be of help. Evil Bay, Amazon also.
Tatume, thanks. Daaaa, guess I should have tried that. Some guys are just smarter than other guys!

If anyone cares, I’m certainly not a student of energy dump or turbulent or whatever. Shot several white tails with my 45/70 Henry. 405 cast either HyTek or PC that I purchase. They all are WFN, and...
I really like the new format. It would be nice if you could choose 2 or more bullet weights to view at once. But really easy to change to a new bullet weight.

On an M4 I believe you may need to tweak the mag lips a bit.

Deer taken with the 350 Legend with a bolt rifle, AR 15 or handgun of some sort?
Forum: Cast Boolits
Geez Elp, trash all Lee stuff! Didn’t Lee offer to have you return it? You made the decision to do something else. If you reload long enough, with enough different calibers, you may find that your...

TH243 do you lube those bad looking puppies? Use a wad under them? Peep sight? Mighty impressive I have to say, great shooting. I love it when somebody does something really right!
Forum: Cast Boolits
Handloader magazine, Dec, 2023, #347 has article on reloading the 350 legend, AR15. I haven’t read the article but unfortunately see data for only jacketed bullets, 125gr, 147 gr, 150 gr, 165 gr &...

Back a gazillion years ago when I was much younger and starting to deer hunt, many older farmers used open sighted 30/30’s and a few 32 Specials. They sighted in with big targets, like a dinner...

El hear ya . Let us know what you find and if anything (WFN) will reliably feed in either rifle. Will be fun.

I put an $85 cheapo 16” heavy barrel 350 on an AR. It is a fantastic shooter ( inch) with 180 gr Winchester factory ammo. Feeds great as does the Win 145 gr FMJ for practice. I know you want to shoot...

Now to find a pickup load of 12ga shells. And icy-hot for the shoulder.

At 40 yds you could load the 30/40 with a very mild heavy cast load with very reduced recoil if recoil is a concern. The heavy cast boolit will do the job. Practice.

Charley Horse, I have cases 55+ years old. Clean them??? How??? Why???

I hope you make them work satisfactorily. They sure are pretty, just plain neat. But I like blue.
