I've had 2 different Rossi Model 92 357 Magnum 20" carbines with1:30 twist. The first one was stolen, along with several other dozens of guns, from my father's place. Both carbines like the...

In resent time, the high shoulder shot has become my preferred shot. Using this technique has dropped more deer in their tracks or within a few yards. Everyone likes forensic photos, right?

I love Lil'gun in my 357 magnum and 44 magnum loads. Firearms are Rossi M92 in each caliber, 20" barrel. My go to for deer hunting. I have found it to be the most accurate load for my carbines. I use...

I picked up the GP100 44 Special. For me, it was exactly what I wanted. I love the Ruger GP100 platform. 44 magnum is great, but too bulky for conceal carry. I got the CA Bulldog a few years back. It...

Great post! Nice fun work with those groups.

My fondest memories are squirrel hunting with my granddaddy. He was a good shot. He told me that during the depression he and his brother were...

I can go to most things, but can't get to User CP or PM.

Thanks guys! I will try that.

Thanks for the info guys. I have some good starting points. I'm now struggling with sizing these little pills. For some reason, the GC isn't seating square on the base of the bullet and the little...

I do have some TiteGroup too

Let's see, I have:

H4895
Varget
A precious little of Unique
Bullseye
BLc2
IMR 3031
H4198
H4227

JonB - the twist is 1 in 14

Thanks runfiverun

I've been looking for good load data for the Bator bullet in 22-250. I find some threads, but they usually branch off into other cartridges like 223 Rem, 222 Swift 22 Hornet, etc. To the point that...

Should I see what the interest is again? Miha may have extras. Send him a PM.

Those bullets sure are pretty. I need more time to cast, load and shoot.

Mike, you hit the nail on the head with that suggestion of 20 grains of 4227. I had H4227 on hand. Here's my group.

I have plenty of Trail Boss, so I figured I would try some loads with...

Yep. Thank you sir

Oh, and I have plenty of lube, I think. Found splatters on the target 25 yards away last weekend.

Thanks Mike,

.430" dia. The hardness stands at about 10 bhn. It's a mixture of 60/40 COWW/SOWW AC. I wanted a bullet in this hardness range.

I'm not in love with gas checks anymore, and I feel...

I've been looking for 44 Magnum load data for this mold/bullet. The actual weight is about 254 grains. The gun is a Rossi M92 (1:30 twist, 20").

I seem to have a lot of Trail Boss and 800-X to...

Lol! I hope so. That's part of why I asked.

Okay, I'm reading the LBT article again this morning. What I gather is this. The most critical fit is the perimeter of the gas check. If there is a lump in the center of the gas check (either from a...

Dusty Bannister,

That was a good read. Thanks for the link!

Dusty Bannister,

The bullet bases are flat. I do think it is as phaessler pointed out, because that is exactly what I am seeing.

phaessler,

That is exactly what I'm seeing! And I am using Gator gas checks, too! I'm going to try some Hornady's, if I have some.

Also going to reverse the plunger.

Thanks guys! Good info.

Okay, I'm not sure how to search for this. I've been searching and can't find an answer. I must be missing something.

I recenting picked up a used RCBS Luber Sizer. The sizer had a .357 RCBS sizer...

I'm not concerned about speed as much as finding a load that groups well. But I estimate this load to be about 2300 fps. Which may be a little to fast.
