I am 51 now, I use to cast in my mid to late 20's but I dont now, just to busy. However, I do buy mostly powder coated bullets to reload with. I get a few JHP for the 9mm carry gun.

Good info!!! I am going to start reloading next week for my .268 carcano on my Dillon 550. Going to start with 160 grain Hornady with 35.0-39.6 gains of W760 as this is what I have on hand. I have...

Mounted my Dillon 550 tool heads wall mount holders to the wall that's not occupied, really cleared out some shelf space!!!! After that I got my .356 resizer ready to get my powder coated 180gn RNFP...

Accurate #2 in 5 pound jug and Hodgdon Lil Gun in 4 pound gallon jug.
Forum: Factory Rifles
None that I find commercially available heck, I could not even find a bolt gun available in 400 Legend (all out of stock), this is the reason for MOS-TEK making mine.
Forum: Factory Rifles
Well, I have all my parts sent to MOS-TEK to build, fit, and test my 400 Legend upper for my AR. Should be about 12-ish more weeks at most if there are no bottlenecks that happen on builds in front...
Forum: Factory Rifles
I am going all in, I am ordering my barrel today 07/21/2023 or Monday, I am waiting on a call back from Mos-tek about what handguard to send for them to build and test fire the upper. They offer all...

I had Lee make me a custom resize die to 0.355, this sounded like a good idea but I have not tried it yet as I am still working on other tests still.
So far the Zero 147 JHP and Matts 175gn GC are...

At about 2400, its not a big leaf clover its pretty small.
I thought about the water jug deal but as you have mentioned the deflection deal makes for a hard obstacle to overcome.
I figured i could...

Hello Folks,
Zero 147gn JHP
Just an update, I was NOT able to get in a 100 yard test but, my brother and I got to sight in his new scope 4-12x40 for his Legend (AR) at 25 Yards but 1.5" low so it...

I did see your jig to modify the Mags, that was impressive, not sure I would have had the wear with all to devote the time to it. Well done Sir.

Thanks for the info OLDFELLER!!!
I have never tried to convert 5.56 brass to 350 Legend. When I first seen this was a thing it really troubled me after looking at the saami specs. I figured there...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thanks for the info Sir, I will keep an eye on it. That could explain why it was only two of them.
My Dillon powder measure is always consistent but there is no harm in more spot checking as I am...

Good Day Folks,
This is a bit late. I did get to load and shoot the Matts Bullets 170GN GC Truncated bullet. It was just on my 20yrd test/pistol range as I was testing for function and pressure...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I had good luck with feeding 147 truncated cast Hitek but the speed at what i had to push them with LIL Gun was removing the coating and accuracy was terrible. It did not lead the barrel as I caught...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I just tested those Zero 147 JHP that oldfeller talked about. Made up four of them at 2.065 col with 27.3gn of the powder we dont talk about (LOL). Tested for function by way of fast fire, at about a...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thanks for the INFO!!! Just ordered QTY-500 of these to test out. Will be trying them in the Legend as I have a good 147gn truncated load that works good if I use the CMMG magazine, does not like the...
Forum: Cast Boolits
That enforcer sure does have some high pressure. Still cannot find the Norma 200, I look every couple days or so. Thanks for the info Sir.
Forum: Cast Boolits
The bullet 170gn truncated with GC is from Matts bullets: https://www.mattsbullets.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=341 . Not sure the mold used. AOL will be about 2.1, 16" AR upper.

Anyone tried this yet? Old post below but there was no report on how it worked. I dont have ANY personal data on Ramshot Enforcer, never used it. I have some coming, worst case Its usable in my...

Not sure if anyone has seen this before, I was poking around the net for powder for the Legend and found this....

Sure need to find some Norma 200. Until then I have plenty of LIL'Gun. Anything close to Norma that's suitable?
Forum: Cast Boolits
I have a 465gn powder coated FP/RN that is my go to from now on for the Wulf. Although I do have a lot of 350gn plated FP that I need to sell or load up for fun rounds. I bet your 440 is just as good...
