I used 296 powder behind a 240 grain jacketed bullet in my S&W 44 magnum revolver. I shot a deer at 75 yards, and the bullet went straight through. The deer ran 25 yards and was DOA. I agree that...

For those of you who did attend, what changes should we consider to make the show even better next year?

Moose. I did meet you, and I was the one who sold you the power trimmer. Thanks for coming to the show, and watch for it again next year (our 9th year for the show).

I don't know if any tables will be set up specially for cast boolits. I would expect that there will be bits and pieces all over the rooms. That should be part of the fun of looking.

My purpose is target shooting. I do not intend to shoot at a deer or other animal, so penetration and expansion are not issues. I understand the boolit must fit the barrel, and will probably be...

In your opinion, what would be considered the most accurate boolit for the .308 for target shooting?

The show is purposely scheduled on the first day of the Great American Outdoor Show. Two reasons: 1) local sportsmen do not attend the Outdoor Show on the first weekend. Traffic and parking are...

On the recommendation of this site, I just tried 8 grains of Unique behind my 290gr SWCGC boolits. The combination performed well. It was an accurate load, and was very controllable. Before I...

I am looking to load 290gr SWCGC boolits in my 44 magnum. I tried 18.5 gr of Winchester 296, and those loads were rather stout. I am looking for something a little milder. Does anyone have a nice...

I noticed in the Lyman Cast Bullet manual that the 45/70 ammunition is loaded according to the strength of the rifle. There are loads for the Springfield Trap Door (mildest loads), for the 1886...

More information. I will be using smokeless powder exclusively. I might use the rifle for hunting, but most likely I will be using it for paper punching, plinking, and just shooting. Ranges will...

I recently acquired an Uberti 1885 High Wall in 45/70. I intend to shoot lead boolits, and I would like some recommendations. My previous experience with lead boolits was that GC boolits shot very...

After I acquired my 444 Marlin (Marlin 336) I asked our members for samples of cast boolits to try in the new rifle. Thanks to many of our friends, I received a variety of shapes and weights to try....

I have loaded several sets of 7x57 with 160gr bullets as has been suggested on this site. They include the following amounts of Reloader 7: 22.5gr, 24.5gr, and 26.5gr. I am hoping that this spread...

Does anyone have any good loads for the 7x57 with 160gr GC cast boolits? I have Re7, H4198, 4064, and 4350 powders. I'm looking for velocity in the 1600-1800fps range. Help?

There are a number of factors that will cause barrel leading from cast bullets. Among others, these include bullet velocity, bullet hardness, bullet shape, condition of the barrel, plain base bullet...

Thanks. These are exactly what I need to get started. Any additional recipes are appreciated.

Does anyone have a favorite recipe to reload 7mm Mauser with 160gr cast boolit? Please share.

I cast mostly pistol boolits, and lube/size with a Saeco lubrisizer. What is the best lube to use with this lubrisizer, and one that flows easily without heat (or without a lot of heat)? ...

I liked the feel of the M&P. It felt good in my hand, had good balance, and seemed to point well. When I final got it to the range, I found that the trigger was the worst I had ever felt in my...

I want to cast boolits for my Ruger SBH in 44 magnum. I am looking for a mould that will throw boolits in the 225 - 255 grain range. I prefer a GC mould. My intentions are to use this for target...

I appreciate all your thoughts. I do not intend to load hot loads in the 45 Colt. I have a Ruger Super Blackhawk in 44 mag to do that. I just want to enjoy a classic single action revolver in a...

I am looking to purchase a revolver in 45 Colt. I like the Ruger Vaquero and the Uberti Cattleman. The prices are about the same. Do any of you have experience with one or the other? Which one...

Considering only your question regarding the purchase of a handgun for use in Alaska, I would suggest you obtain a double action 44 magnum. This would give you a quicker response if the need ever...
