I currently shoot the Lee C309 170 f over IMR 4198 out of my pre 64 Winchester. Thinking of going to the 150 grain version, also GC, for deer hunting in the Adirondacks. Thinking it might give me a...

Well shot mine with the Lee 358 158 Alox lubed 2400 Williams peep sight at 125 yards. Not a great group but all in an 8' circle which is a dead deer and just about all my old eyes can do. I am sure...

Just got a henry Big Boy Steel carbine in 357. I added a Williams peep and am loading Lee 358 158 rf with a healthy dose of old Hercules 2400, no gas check. This gun is an awesome weapon! super...

Looks like a great 357 carbine, anyone have one? Anyone shot one?
Thinking of loading 4337, maybe 14 grains, in a 357 with standard pistl primer and Lee 358 158 no gas check bullet with water quenched wheel weight alloy. Wondering velocity from 16" trapper barrel...
Started usingww allow only, all clip ons, water dropped, in my 357 Rossi. Previously in my 3030 I used 5050 pbww with a gas check but in the Rossi I'm using plain based Lee 358-158 bullets with no...

I think the taylor's are made by chiappa. Does anyone have any comments on the quality , smoothness, fit and finish of these Taylor guns?
Good advise, one more question, is it ok to use magnum primers with the 12.5 grains of 2400?
Forum: Hunting with CB's
Ive shot about 100 deer with rifles, longbows and percussion n muzzleloaders but never with a 357 carbine. My other question is is it ok to use this load with magnum primers?
2400 is the only powder I have, do you think 12.5 grains from a carbine barrel is sufficient and will it avoid leading at that charge?
Forum: Hunting with CB's
Anybody hunt with a 357 carbine and cast? I'm thinking 2400 and ww alloy in a lee 358158, no gc, any suggestions? Thanks, Craig.
So I have a Lee 358-158 mold, no gas check. I am thinking 12.5 grains of 2400 out of a Model 92 for whitetails. Probably use straight wheel weight alloy. Anyone use a load like this? Am I in the ball...

These look interesting, especially the 16" barrel Huntsman with the factory Skinner peep sight. Anyone have a Taylor? Opinions? Thanks, Craig.

I have recently melted down 4 five gallon pails of wheel weights. Most of these were the standard clip on type, but I also found a bunch of stick ons, some up to 6: long. Melted those down and got 20...

I think I'm pretty settled on the lee 158 grain with no gas check. Just need to figure out a deer killing load with 5050 wwpb and what powder load to use so I don't get leading.
Forum: Hunting with CB's
Usually in my 3030 I cast 5050 wheel weight, pure lead. Now I have a 357 carbine and am wondering if I would be ok using just wheel weight lead to make the hunting boolit? Sorry if its a dumb...
