I would have sworn I looked in that manual. Going to have to go back and look again. That 1.170 would put it where I need it though. Thank you for the info!

Whisler, No sir I have not. It's a 2 cav mold and I only cast about 50 to test and I PCd all of them.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I was doing some casting a couple of weeks ago and came across my old Lee 452 230 TC TL mold. I went ahead and cast some, then PCd them for fun. For some reason I can't find any load data for them. ...
Good thread y'all. I am getting into casting and loading for 12 gauge so am reading everything I can find on the subject.
Great information. Thank you very much! This is more or less what I was looking for when asking my initial question.
Ye sir, exactly what I found. Mine slugs at .432 I have had to have custom molds that drop at .433-.434 and have had good luck out to 50 yds and mediocre at 100 yds with 2400. Working on loads with...
Great story! I'm not sure I'm even going to hunt with it except maybe see how feral hogs react to it. I really just want to try and make it work in my rifle. The 240 Gr Keith I'm using is giving...
If anyone has any favorite loads with this bullet I'd be interested in your results.
Thanks. I was concerned about pressure issues with the longer barrel.
I have been working up loads for a 44 mag Handi Rifle with some Keith style 240 grain plain base with 2400 and IMR 4227. I have some 270 gr of the same profile and some of the Lee 310 gr that I want...

I guess not. Unfortunately that is what I am looking for as well.

LOL!!! In my estimation, it is a hobby in and of itself. Bordering on a sickness. I love it!

I generally label the container they are in or write on the ingot with a sharpie. "WW" "S" etc.

As far as the paper pulp needing a binder, what about something like guargum? I have used it to bind wood dust/pulp for making handmade incense. It is also quite sticky when wet. Not sure if it...

I have been watching a couple of the 9 stick auctions. I'd like to get your feedback on this lube once you get a chance.

+1 on what TXGunNut said about the size. It also depends on what they eat. If they are eating mostly corn from deer feeders I have noticed that they have a bit more fat and sometimes don't...

This past deer season, took one with my Mauser in .308 with a 311165 RFHP. He was too big to eat. Made nice coyote bait for my Mrs and her .243 though. :)

Bob, It's been my experience that pigs are not anywhere near as hard to kill as the TV would have you believe. My 7 year old nephew just killed one late last summer with his daddy's AR-15 with cheap...

OK. But this is the mold I have and the boolit I was talking about. http://www.castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=103163
If it's too pointy, I reckon I'll find out the hard way. Thanks...
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
Yes sir! That is the one. That means I'm running right around 1750-1800 FPS right now. Good to go. That is one soft shooting, accurate load. As I get more time I intend to push the velocities up...
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
I think maybe you are confused a bit. This bullet is a flat nose with a HUGE meplat. Chances are it was designed for a 30-30, but works well in my .308
True about the deer where I hunt. Body...

Yesterday I took my .308 Mauser out to the range. Wanted to test some CB loads. I had been shooting alot of the 170 Gr Lee boolits with 2400 and getting really good accuracy. A while back I got a...

I was in the Colorado Springs store earlier this week. They had quite a few shotguns, rifles and small caliber rifles. No handguns or reloading supplies. All things considered, I think they are...
