The barrel twist is 1 : 10". The OAL of the bullet is 0.877". Length that engages the bore looks like half an inch.

Thinking about getting NOE's 260-115-FN-AJ1 4 Cavity GC for the paper-punching and occasionally hunting cast bullet in .250 Savage (it's in stock and on sale as well).

Any reasons to consider...

I think I would probably want at least 100 grains or more with a gas check and would most likely buy an NOE mould. (s) should I consider for whichever bullet is most popular/most effective for deer...

Yeah, the problem now is finding some.

Are small pistol magnum primers recommended for Accurate #9? (for .357 Magnum)

Which of the Western Accurate brand powders would work well with 158 grain through 180 & 187 grain cast bullets for full power loads? I lean towards the Accurate line since their load data lists...

Thank you for all of the replies. I didn't really think it was going to cause any issues, but I thought I'd check with the brain trust just to be sure. :smile:

This article prompted me to get the Cast Performance bullets. The "load data" listed sounds like it's almost certainly overpressure and I'm glad I never tried it. I use the Hodgdon manual...

I have a Ruger 77/357 and always want to stay within the accepted pressure specifications. When I was starting out with it, I bought some Cast Performance LBT style bullets in 180 and 187 grains for...

Are there any caveats to cast bullet loads in nitrided ( “Liquid Salt Bath Ferritic Nitrocarburizing Non-Cyanide Bath", usually abbreviated as "FNC") barrels? I'm wondering about pressure changes...

MGW says they won't Cerakote moving internal parts but apparently will Slickote...

Loctite Black Max would be my suggestion. Sold for just this purpose.

I've got an airbrush on the way. Is there paint less expensive than DuraCoat that has the same viscosity so that I can practice with it first? I want to make sure I don't waste DuraCoat while I'm on...

DuraCoat cures at room temperature; I think they recommend 65 - 75 degrees F for application. Norrell's Moly Resin is like 200 degrees F for plastic/wood and 250 degrees F for metal, but that's from...

I'm going to DuraCoat a rifle. I've used Preval sprayers in the past and done okay. Just wondering whether an airbrush (which I've never used before) would let me do a better job (like a fan spray...

Lauer's DuraBlue blue-black product looks pretty good (right color & texture). If I coat the inside of the receiver, I wonder whether the finish thickness will slow down bolt cycling? I could leave...

I know this is an old thread, so perhaps no one will mind if I drift it a little? I want to make my stainless Ruger 77/357 look like it was blued. Real dark, inky blue-black. I'm not worried about...

It's all good. :-P

I will get my copies of both of these back when I get home and check the barrelling articles to see if either have advice on chambering with a steady rest. I just did a search and maybe one or more...

Absolutely. :-P

I emailed Wolfe Publishing about the new/additional articles in the 2nd edition but they haven't replied. Seems like a lot of outfits don't really want to reply to emails despite having the option...

Sorry, been away a while. It's basically a collection of the gunsmithing articles from Rifle magazine. There may have been articles that appeared in Handloader, but I only read a few issues of that...

From Wolfe Publishing. I've got the first edition; is it worth it to buy the second edition?

For cheap patches, buy a yard or two of cotton flannel at a sewing goods store, wash without fabric softener, dry and cut to size. May be even cheaper at a second hand store. Retired baby blankets...
