If you're buying for yourself, as I do, and not depending on them to fulfill some obligation you have made with a client or customer they are as good as any of the other outfits selling the same...

311284 in my '03 and '03a3 has produced the most accurate cb loads I've shot in any rifle.

I wipe. My loads are sometimes stored for a long time, powder fouling is a concern.

Having a couple battalions all lined up and neat like that always makes me feel good.

I had a Marlin 444S in the early 70's that I stupidly sold. I do recall that the recoil was pretty stout, but it never knocked my then 130 lb frame anywhere close to over. I for one can not stay in...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Have you pulled the boolits from the unfired rounds and verified your charge weights and the powder loaded?
I have used small tufts of Dacron to hold small charges against the primer and it seems worthwhile.

I use whatever comes my way. I do trim to uniform length.

I always saw them as Hollywood stuff with no practical value, but that's just me. Of course, I'm generally right.

Or, possibly, a Hopi Indian word for crazy a@@ pale faces. In either case, I'm stocking ammo too.

I advise you to start lower and work up to that 16g of 2400 in a lever gun, some don't handle it well.
Well, there you go. I've seen some whacky loads in some manuals especially come to cast loads in rifles. And lever actions call for more caution than bolts.
I like Red Dot in a lot of things. Not surprised this worked well. Not clear what firearm you were using, 4 5/8 sounds like a single action. Oh, I see it now, BH = Blackhawk. But balloons! Why...

Lyman 311284 always worked well at long range for me loaded down out of an '03 Springfield. This is a long pointed boolit, might work in your 30, single loaded. Never had much luck with the 311413,...

Stingers do not feed smoothly in my 39D. As far as accuracy goes, all I've demanded of them is mInute of 6" gong at 25 yards and that I've gotten.
Just a heads up, in 30-30 16g of 2400 will be too hot if you go to a heavier (150-170g) bullet. I use this load in 308 - 30-06 size cases as a standard load with bullet weights around 180g and it's a...

Alright! Now I know what to do with those six quarts of ATF I have left over from a long gone leaking dripping oozing Mustang.
