I had someone give me some boolits to try, they were small 38 cals. I played with them and found them to be great in a 380. They were a truncated cone about 105 grain Hi Tek coated and were fun to...

One more update. The clear winner for cast boolits for the Winchester was the NOE HTC432-262-WFN. Shocking accuracy!! I drop about 255 grain boolits with a very large hollow point cavity, powder coat...

Quik update on this, trimming the lifter was absolutely the best way to go. 30 rounds and it cycled perfectly! Thanks again for your suggestions.

Well, thanks for all of the suggestions but 26Charlie was the one I was looking for. I am not sure I want to try and acquire any 44 special brass and seating deeper doesn't give me a crimp in the...

I came across a Winchester 94 in 44 Mag that was built in 1977. It looked like it was in pretty good shape so I picked it up. It had a few dings in the stock and forend but the action looked great. I...

I am using a NOE aluminum mould that works pretty good for weight and 4 or 5 cavity that works for volume. I use the 4 cavity but the 5 is available. The good part is that it is pretty accurate, the...

Interesting thread! Each firearm is unique, even the same brand. My buddy and I were out burning some lead, we were both using 357 mag leverguns. Mine is a Winchester AE his is a Remlin. The...

With J-word I have always used H110 but I have been playing with the Lil' Gun and it looks good. Just for fun I tried a NOE 225-39-FN with 2.4 grains of Trail Boss to simulate a 22lr. 25 yards, 10...

I have a Ruger #3 22 Hornet that is my favorite "Fun Gun", but I have never tried any bullets above 50 grain. I have some Lil' Gun and a NOE 60 Grain mould that may have to be my next experiment!!...

Check Youtube and Full Lead Taco's Bunny Fart Loads. NOE 135 Grain power coat boolit and Trail Boss powder. I tried it in a NEF Handi Rifle and I am afraid it is just a little too much fun!! Minute...

I read about this little wadcutter in "From Ingot to Target" and just had to have one. I got the NOE 3 cavity brass mould and have to say that they are a blast. I went out to test them in my Ruger...

I just started playing with a 300 BO Handi Rifle. Twist is 1:7 and it loves 135 gr cast with 4.5 gr of Trail Boss!! Watch Full Lead Taco on Youtube for his review of his single shot 300 BO and his...

I have started coating in smaller containers (Noosa Yogurt) because they are lighter to handle and I don't need much powder in them. Each batch gets a small spoonful that is added to the small amount...

Interesting thread, I just picked up a Winchester 94 44 mag that was made in 1977, so no safety - love it. It appears to have never been fired but has a few dings in the wood which is good because I...

I just acquired a Winchester 94 in 44 mag that was mfg. in 1977 that appears to have never been fired. I have been searching for a 44 lever gun for several years and have been very patient. I was...

Great thread! I scrimped and saved and bought a 9422 in the late 70s and love it to this day. I read a great article about why Winchester had to quit making them because they were just too expensive...

I never used to save them but I started about a year ago just to see how many I have used. I like to see the pile grow just for fun, sadistic humor for me maybe because of all the people that thought...

Funny thing about the 22 Hornet, it seems there is a bit more interest lately. I have owned a Ruger #3 for many years and I love it! I put a brand new Redfield Widefield 3X9 scope on it (That should...

When it looked like there was going to be an ammo shortage one thing I looked for was a load that could be a 22lr replacement - my 22 Hornet of course. I used a NOE 225-39-FN and loaded it with 2.4...

My Grandpa made me hunt sage grouse with a single shot 20 gauge when I was a kid. I hated that gun, how stupid to only have one shot! Once I matured a little I ended up with a Ruger #3 in 22 Hornet -...

I have all of the moulds I will ever need, unless I see another one that tickles my fancy!! Kind of like yesterday.

Smug, no - not really, but I feel I am an opportunist. I have taken this opportunity and my several years of component purchases to help others. I have gotten several people into reloading and a...

I bought the same mould from NOE and I love it!! A friend of mine has a Hellcat and I have to say it is a hand full with heavy loads. I have an XD9 Sub Compact that loves those boolits as well as my...

Trail Boss is one of my favorite powders. 30-30, 357, 44 mag 45-70 even 22 Hornet. I hated how dirty my brass came out due to the low pressure of Unique loads. The ability to have high pressure and...

I checked this morning, no 70 gr moulds at NOE. He is showing a few others though. I will just keep watching. I am hoping for somewhere around 2500 FPS just in case I run into some wild Tannerite out...
