N110, IMR 4227, and 2400 will work quite well in the 30Carb. They will cycle the action reliably without too much muzzle blast/flash. I don't own a 30 Carbine revolver, but if I did, I wouldn't...

I have also found it to be overly greasy, slimy might be a better description. Having to wipe your hands after handling it isn't really that big a deal, but I still don't like having to do it. It...

This is correct. We leave a limited time re-direct for the posts so that the original poster can find them.

Unique, Red Dot, 231, and Clays are all pretty "fluffy" powders. Trail Boss is even fluffier. I question your load data source though, because both my current Lyman manuals suggest that you are over...
I'm a big fan of the Monogrip as well. Pretty they're not, but they sure help with the controllability and recoil.

I have found that the Burris Fastfire does work better a little further away from the eye. I don't have the Fulton mount you show, but I do have the Ultimak scout type mount on my 1944 Inland...

Beware of the Scammer using the 15meter. handle (with the period at the end of 15meter). He's already been banned, but PM's were probably sent to some members.
My 311041 is the NOE clone in a brass 2 cavity mold. Once up to temperature it casts a perfect bullet every time. I'm not familiar with the LEE 311-41 design. I also use the 311041 a lot in the 30-30...

Sorry, no help with the use of it in in lever guns. I can tell you that is a fantastic powder though. I use it extensively in the 223 Remington for match loads, with the 52 grain Sierra in a 1/12...
Both are excellent boolits in the 30-06. I use the 311291 primarily for target shooting, and the 311041 is probably better suited for hunting due to its flat nose design.
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
It fits a couple of pretty "specialized" uses for me, and it works very well for them. I don't use it for an "all around" cast bullet powder because other powders work better and it's too expensive...

I have never tried thinning LLA more than 50/50, but it would probably work OK to thin it more than that for just bullet sizing. I thin 50/50 with mineral spirits for 38 Special wadcutters and other...
Forum: Cast Boolits
If you want to try something really fun with your 30-06, buy yourself the Lee TL 314-90 SWC mold and cast up some bullets with it. I just use range scrap or WW, size it to .311, and lightly tumble...

The thing to really watch out for is someone sending a PM to contact a third party to send money to. WTB ads have been especially targeted by the Scammers, but it's not just the WTB ads. We do our...

Here is an article that you may find useful. I use a lot of Bullseye and Red Dot in reduced cast bullet rifle loads, but if I didn't have any I wouldn't hesitate to use W231. It's slightly faster...
I purchased a used DW Model 15 back in the early 1980's. It came with the 4", 6" and 8" barrels and was extremely accurate. I got cash strapped and foolishly sold it, and I sorely wish that I hadn't....
