I've shot a few of the NOE 245-80-FN-D1 bullet. I got a 16" 1/10 McGowen barrel to use on my AR. OAL of 2.164" has the top band into the throat. I loaded them with a caseful of boosted 860 and it...

Been away awhile, nice to see mention of Mr. Eagan's mold after all this time. Since my tight bore K31 allows me to size to .308 I can get away with standard 450 lubing w/o the lube squishing up onto...
I haven't pulled any of today's factory rounds, but I'll bet they're loaded with a ball powder. Work up with powders in the 4350/760 range to keep the pressure building low and slow. With a hard...
Useful indeed. It's deer season now, and I've a couple friends with 336s in 35 Rem that I'll be loading for. I'm sitting here with a RP 35 Rem and a 350 Legend loaded with one of BaBore's 200gr...

42gr of RL19 behind a very hard cast NOE311365 was shooting two inch groups for me. That's before I put a scope on the Garand. If I remember correctly I was shooting for around 2100fps. Any other...

Thanks longbow! I never said the idea was original! The fellow I been working with thought it so. I'll have to get the link to him! They have the bullet I had in mind too, 200gr TC Shockwaves.

A friend and I have been piddling around with making a straightwall 40 cal AR cartridge out of the necked up 6.8 SPC. He provided me with some primed cases and I expanded them to 30caliber, then...

Oops! The mold is too pretty to use Nobade! I have an Eagan die that'll swage the gascheck shank to a taper, like the Belding and Mull 311169 had. Sort of a boat tail! I've been comparing it to a...

Received the mold today. It is new and unused! Beautiful old bluing! My caliper says the bands and bore rider are .3045". I realize they won't cast that large, however. I hope the 329 on each...

A Krag with a good barrel should suffice. I found an original that's .299x.308. I'm not going to make Camp Perry this year, this may be a part of future plotting. I've got a lot of slow burning...
Thanks fellows. I should be paying a bit more attention to details. It'll work out. I got some slow burning powders that work good in the Krag with heavy bullets!

Did I just buy myself a paper patch mold? If so, guess I'll be here learning from you folks! If any of you know anything about the mold, let me know!

Well I thought I saw .308, but I now see that was another auction. I'll have to wait till it gets here to answer your question. The little blurb that is in my mind might also have been in one of...
Anyone know anything about this 30 caliber mold? I've never seen it on the mold charts. I think I remember reading a little blurb in an old American Rifleman many years ago, but don't remember for...
I've been following along since this post started. See I have this flake powder that burns about Blue Dot speed. VV 10B101. I've got some PRVI 71gr hollowpoints and some hardcast 85gr roundnose...

Federal primers are softer. I had a round go off in an M1A when I tossed one down the chamber and let the bolt fly. I don't think it was high primer, I always run my finger across the head and...

I could see this working. http://accuratemolds.com/bullet_detail.php?bullet=36-220G I sorta like those conical bullets. He doesn't do hollowpoints. Here's the bullets I pictured above after the wet...

I don't have an answer, but I'm going to show you one I used to have. I found a half dozen 200gr bullets from a mold I sold along with a 35 Remington Marlin 336, long ago. The mold was made by...

I just ran across some 311284s that I have loaded over 37gr RL19 w/#34 primer while looking for something else. They're from the same mold Mark has, NOE's first group buy! These are hard cast,...
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
I've got some very accurate loads with Blue Dot, both cast and jacketed. 30-40 Krag mostly. I still use a powder that burns about the same rate, 10B101, a surplus powder from pulled down 50cal...

Maybe someone used moly coated bullets at one time. It being a sulphide your natural stuff might contain something that dissolves it, but #9 don't? Just a guess.
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
I have one to play with, if I ever get around to it. Got some loads with bullets from a NOE conical mold done up too. I have 70 and 80gr conicals, one is a nose pour mold a fellow on here made for...
Forum: Cast Boolits
You fellows are talking burn rates I like! I like em cause I have powders that fit the application. Some of the old Widener's SPP210, which is 4198-like, and quite a bit of the 10B101 flake powder...

Steve's pages are a compilation of different load data he found. A range, like the other data you found. Here's some good data developed out of a 30" barrel. No 4064 however. Because capacity is...

I've had a lot of fun with a couple in 6x45. One was a heavy 1/8 5r Obermeyer barrel and the latest a lightweight 1/10 twist McGowen. I shot the Obermeyer in a couple CBA matches at Ypsilanti. You...
