What mold are you using for the 315?

Thanks,

That is very interesting. I am leaning away from going with a fast twist rate on the rifle and maybe going bigger bore and something more cast friendly. So when I am looking at molds, something with...

Hi all,

Anyone here loaded for 375 Raptor, or a similar 375-08 wildcat?

I have been researching a 16" barrel bolt action rifle build I want to have together for next winter, for suppressed...

I did some more research and those long expanding subsonic copper bullets are way too long for a 338 Federal case, the ogive would be deep into the case. So I am reconsidering the .358, and...

If there were heavy subsonic expanding bullets for 358 caliber, as they have started to make for the 338, there would be no question.

I am actually going to be going the opposite direction and going for a faster twist since I want to shoot some of the heavy copper expanding subsonic bullets. This gun probably wouldn't be seeing...

Hi all,

I am going to start a 338 Federal bolt action project rifle. I have not started reloading yet, and this will be my first venture into reloading. It will be a while before the rifle is...

The main goal of this rifle will be a suppressor host. So any loads I develop for it will be going through a can. My understanding is that lubed lead is a no go with a suppressor due to lead build...

Hello all,

Would I be able to shoot powder coated cast bullets reasonably well out of a .338 Federal with a 1:7 twist?

I am going to start building a bolt action rifle for suppressed shooting,...

I just posted a question about saving lead in a pellet trap, as I save all my pellets from airgun shooting as well. I mostly shoot JSB pellets, which I am under the impression are pure lead, but...

Hello all,

I haven't started casting yet but hope to get into it in the next few years and have been stashing away some lead.

I have a pellet stop that I use for my PCP airguns. It is a paper...

I am looking at an Encore carbine as a way to do some subsonic suppressed shooting, and as a way to get into reloading and casting. I mostly would be shooting at targets, but would like to use it for...

Mattri, your bolt action (assuming the Savage is a bolt) sounds really cool. I considered a 458 SOCOM bolt, but the shorter package of the Encore/Contender just keeps pulling me back that way.

So...

I think I probably should just get a 45-70. Will give me more options up to 600 grains.

Any suggestions on who could make a barrel with a faster twist rate than 1:20, like 1:16 or so. MGM makes...

If I do go with a 45-70 Encore in a 16.25" barrel, what twist rate will be best for a 500 grain pill, probably something like the NOE HTC459-500-SP is saw in the FullLeadTaco videos? I have read most...

Why do you hate your shoulder so much?

I just found the NOE 380-390-RN-F6. Seems like it would have a pretty decent BC and SD. I wonder if a .375 Win could be loaded to get it going at 1000 fps. Fun to speculate but, like I said earlier,...

There is also a voice in the back of my head telling me to just get a 458 SOCOM upper for my AR, and then I would already be very familiar with the trigger. Probably the wiser choice, but the Encores...

Would that be done with a lathe, or is there a piece of loading equipment that could size it down? I honestly have no idea how common 45 Long Colt ammo usually is, and never really thought of that.

I was looking at the Bullberry 44mag barrel that can have a 1:16 Twist, which I was thinking might be fast enough, but I haven't actually been able to find a mold anywhere near 400grn online. I...

Hello all,

I have long liked the idea of a T/C Encore carbine in a 16" barrel, to lob heavy chunks of lead, under the speed of sound, through a can, but have always put it off as something to do...
