9.3x57 is almost a straight wall. Brass formed from 8x57. You can even get rimmed brass.

Very nice, I like the 110 auto also.

If you can find them, Hornady .357, 180g XTP pistol bullets work well in the .35rem, if you want to go the jacketed bullet route.

The one hog I killed, was with my Bisley Blackhawk .45 Colt. I hit it right behind the left shoulder and the bullet exited behind the right ear (quartering away). It went down like it was hit by...

My M67, and my M60. The M67 is my house gun and the M60 is my outdoors gun. Both fun to shoot, and the wife and daughter can handle the M67 easily.

With 18-20 grains of powder and cast bullets, it would be almost as cheap shooting my handguns. With red dot, it would as cheap as handgun loads.
Mike
I thought an iron sighted bolt gun would be fun to shoot and hunt with cast bullets. I may look into the laser cast, that style bullet seems to get good reviews for accuracy and deer killing.
Mike
WOW, those Berry's plated bullets are very inexpensive. I don't think they would be good for hunting though. I wonder if I can press in a hollow point?
thanks for the info

I am kinda looking for a good commercial cast bullet for the 30-06. I have just refinished a Savage 110 (1968 era) walnut stock rifle. I installed a williams peep and plan on shooting some cast. I...
Has anyone used these in a 30-06. I was thinking of trying them in my 30-06 with Shooters World Buffalo powder.

The 147gr Buffalo bore bullet was used to stop a grizzly.

Anyone use this (311-242-FN-J3-pb) in a 30-06? I was thinking of giving them a try with some A5744.

My S&W 625 PC shoots great, no leading at all, I shoot it in IDPA matches. I just got a 2 3/4" M69 last year and it shoots well with jacketed and cast. I just haven't had too much time to narrow down...

Has anyone killed any critters with the Underwood 158g swchp 38 spec, or 190g swchp 44spec ammo? If so, how did it perform?

I picked up 300wm #1 at a Gander mtn in Pittsburgh about 18 years ago for $450 with a 6-18x redfield scope. I don't shoot it much, I bought it because it was a good price at the time. I would rather...

I have the same rifle in 22PPC. When I use Lapua 220 russian brass I have to neck turn. I don't have to neck turn Norma 22PPC brass.

Cut the barrel just enough to clear the handguard with the suppresser, and find a Bluedot load that shoots well. Crush some deer next season.

I've been doing some research on the two different alloys, 2-2-96, and 3-3-94. It seems the hardness for 2-2-96 is 11BHN, and 3-3-94 is BHN12. Is there that great a difference in hardness between the...

I might just order the 225g hp from GT bullets, any good loads with AA5744, or any other powder?
Mike
My new favorite field gun is a 2-3/4" M69. It is a 44special 99% of the time, and full power 44mag whenever needed. I was going to get the 44special GP100 until S&W came out with the M69.

I was considering both the 225g and the 175g hollow point, but I thought the 225g would be too soft.

Has anyone used the RCBS 30cal 180g sil (175g) hollow point or clone to hunt with? I was going to order some from GT bullets since I don't cast at the moment. I will be using (hunting) them in a...
