I have an old Ideal mold that drops a .457" diameter hollow base boolit that weighs about 180gn in soft lead. It shoots good with light gallery type loads.

I just ordered a Pacnor barrel. I ordered Pacnor for several reason. I wanted at least 28" and Shaw only offered 26". I wanted a 1/10" twist 6.5mm barrel and Shaw only offered 1/9" or faster.

That rifle article was more than 25 years ago to be sure. The way they did the mag was to fasten some type of hard plastic to each side of the mag box on the inside so it would only allow single...

Not trying to sway you or pivot you but just FYI I did a Lee Enfield in 45/90 once. The mag has to be converted to single stack but when done right they feed just fine. There is plenty of room in...

Extremely cold temps will cause lead cores to extrude from a jacket in that manner when left out over a long period of time. I have found loaded ammo that had been lying on the ground for many...

More powerful yes but far far less rang capability.

I did have but no longer have a Siamese Mauser action chambered for the 375 Kraig. That would be very close the the 375 Britt.
With that rifle I was able to get to within 100 fps of published...

We got a couple pounds of Lotak headed your way today.
Remember Lotak works good when you turn up the pressure.

We also have that mold if you need a new source for boolits..

Or trade it for softer lead. I have soft lead I would trade.
I concur with this assessment. At this point in my 35 years of casting experience looking back I have to wonder how I ever got along without it.

If selling at brass recycling rate I will take them, but I would like to see a pic first. Do you know if they have been annealed?
Its easy to tell. If you can easily pinch them closed at the open...
I am not sure but think the Lyman is a round nose correct? The RCBS is a flat nose.
I have the RCBS mold for the 11mm if you would like to try some of those. They shot very good from a 71/84 Mauser I tried them in.

I had the same rifle at one time. It was an excellent high quality rifle. Those rifles were issued with a Lee mold for a conical boolit that looks like a hollow base wad cutter. I believe I still...

Oh OK. What barrel length will you use? What boolit/bullet weights will you use? I have the load data that at one time was available from Hawk Lads for the 375 Hawk Scovill. The HS cartridge is a...

I looked at them but passed because the total cost was too high for me.

I cant read between the lines. Do you mean you would like my load data?

The 2200 fps load mentioned uses 4350 of any flavor. Its quite easy to get 2000 fps with as slow a powder as 4831 and this heavy a boolit. The 2200 fps load was chronoed from a 27" barrel but I...

A slower longer push (slow powder burn) seems to be more forgiving than a fast kick in the but (fast powder burn) especially as peak pressures pass about 50% of max and go up from there even of peak...
