I have one from Arsenal molds. A 45-230-GR- PC. Casts great and shoot great with PC.

I always thought boolets were little kids trying to scare people!

262009 My lubrisizers, found the Saeco at a yard sale, cost me TWO dollars!
It was a job to clean up. The jars are full of cast bullets.

Always wear all your safety gear, including apron, sleeve protectors, welding cap, and face shield. I had some kind of large insect fly into a full bottom pour Rcbs pot. Lead went six feet up the...

I loaded 300 45 ACP rounds. I have a new mold add powder coated bullets for the first time.

Would a Remington rolling block pistol chambered in 45-70 loader with full charge 500 grain bullets qualify? At our range a guy showed up with the afore mentioned gun and loads. Wanted to know if...

I have one in 7mm international R. An IHMSA round. 30-30 necked to 7mm case blown our and shoulder moved foreward. Very similar to a 7 Waters.

I used .410 shot cups that were cut off with to fit the case, don’t remember the brand. Used over shot wads madefrom chest X-ray negatives and a drop of nail polish to seal. The shot cups were...

I did a bit better this morning. Loaded 15 rounds for the Dan Wesson 44 mag sized 429 with Bens Red lube. Shooting at chicken silhouette at 55 yards. Got 4 in 3" with a low,right flyer. Probably me,...

I have one just like it. The leather washer gave up last week and I emailed Redding and a few days later I had a new rubber cup in the mail, no charge! That is great customer service.

Nope just had a brain fart! I should have posted Bens Red. I have Eds Red that I made for black powder barrel wiping between shots though.

Made my first batch of Bens red today. I forgot the Johnsons paste wax on the first go around. Poured it in some ingot molds and let it cool before I spied the Johnsons on the bench. Remelt and add...

I had a chance to shoot a few today between showers. I suppose I have gotten old(70) and cant do too good. Dan Wesson 44M 8" barrel. Load FC brass, Fed large pistol mag primers, 22 grains H 110. No...

All six fired normally, no hint of squib. No signs of over pressure and best of all not a trace of leading. Very loud. I am happy. No target just shot for function.

196023I loaded six for a test with 22 gr. h110, Federal Brass, and Federal LP Mag primers. Good crimp, and .003 expansion of case after seating the bullet. I an just going to shoot these at a target...

Thanks Flint!

I certainly am not a rich man.I have about 50 pounds left over from my black powder silhouette days. It worked really good in my 45-70 Browning high wall replica. No leading and really good accuracy....

How do you think #2 alloy will work in a 44 magnum? Lyman 429421 casts at 254 grains. Gonna try H110 first. My 44 is a Dan Wesson with an eight inch heavy barrel. With Sierra 240 grain hollow points...

Thanks that one is on the money. I appreciate the heads up. I am new here and don't know what all is going on. I have been shooting cast bullets for a long time but still got a lot to learn.

That link takes me to a thread about which revolver to buy. I would like to know more about the group buy.
Elmo

Thanks for the load data Sur-shot. 30- 20 data is hard to come by. My 30-39 is a small ring Mauser that I bought off Shotgun news. My buddy glass bedded it and it shoots sub minute of angel at 100...

Thanks, I like the flat nose and plain base on that one. It would be good pest medicine. I didn't see it when I looked in the Lyman catalog.
Elmo

The one that I have is a a 7.62X39 necked down to take a .308 bullet. Run a piece of 7.62 X 39 brass into the sizing die load and shoot.

Thinking maybe Lyman 311410. Plain base 130 grain.
Elmo

I have a tc contender 30- 20 and a small ring Mauser in 30-39. Both have .308 barrels. Anyone have recommendations on molds for general use shooting, small game, plinking and some target shooting. I...
