Go with the 4198. I burn a lot of it in my 45-70's using Lyman 457122 330 gr HP and accuracy is very good. Trying some Varget tomorrow in a Ruger #3.

+1 for the 'Wulf. Biggest baddest large bore AR on the market. That is until someone designs one on the 308 length AR action...

Thanks for the advice. Will give it a try.

Definitely build your own! Each and every build is a one of a kind. I have built 8 just for myself. (3- 5.56, 2- Grendel, 1-9mm, 1- 7.62 and 1 Beowulf) There is a sense of pride and achievement with...
14" 223 and 6mm JDJ are my favorites. 45-70 and 30-30 for cast and hunting
Have to agree with ya MT Chambers. My FA Casull also has a definite addiction to the LBT Heavies. Don't have an Accurate mold yet......

All mine go in Peanut Butter and Crab Boil containers until ready to size and lube.
Have shot some 350 gr. Hornady FN out of the Contender but that was many years ago. Velocity, IIRC was around 1450 fps or so using 45grs. of IMR 4198. Recoil was pretty stout.
Only have 2 moulds...
I have the same barrel for my contender. 36 grs of IMR 4198 and the Lyman 457122 Gould bullet are just about all I care to tackle comfortably. Having said that, range sessions with stiffer loads and...

6 JDJ is formed from 225 Win. Simple neck up and fire form.
Going to SSK was my first stop...their data is older than what I have! Was hoping to find data a little more current for the new powders...

Scope like this would be my choice as well. Don't skimp on the mounts, either.
Nice rig you have there K7!

Hello all!
Need some help in finding some recent load data for my 6mm JDJ #2 Contender. Have been browsing the web for the last couple of days to no avail. The only data that I have for her is from...
Very nice mold and boolits! I too have a 'Wulf but do not cast for it yet. Will have to get in on the GB too... if it ever materializes.

Personal preference is the 4 5/8 because it is mainly packed as a backup in a crossdraw rig while hunting. But I have warmed up to the 5 1/2er as of late. Planning on picking one up in the not to...

Sweet! Should shoot as good as it looks!

Not bashing Lee products. When they do something right, it is usually a very useful and quality tool; their collet neck dies and the FCD are prime examples. Lee is kinda like hit or miss..... I just...

Bought the A-3, 24", HB, 1-8 upper for my brother a few years ago for his birthday. Had no problems and the rifle shoots under MOA.

+1 on that for sure! Dillon by far is the best progressive with the warranty and customer service that is second to none. I have 2 550's, one bought new and one used. The used one broke about 8 years...

Yep, your handguard is definitely outta whack! YHM is a reputable company and they SHOULD make this right for ya. Hope they do.
I bought my 625 JM soon after the revolver was first produced. (Serial # under 900) It is an awesome shooting piece. I would suggest a good action and trigger job to really smooth things up. I shoot...
