The soft point method described makes perfect soft nosed boolits with rock hard bases. If you hit hard bones with a homogeneous soft boolit, they can expand too much and fail to penetrate. The hard...

I built a fairly hefty milling attachment for my lathe. 13 inch swing, so not a tiny lathe. It has minimal use, very light cuts needed, challenging to setup, and just not that convenient. I since...

Most here don't seem to understand Bruce B's method, which results in perfect boolits with no line between the alloys. It's not simply 2 fast pours........

I had good luck with pure lead noses and...

Dan's molds are top shelf. I've used many, never had a bad one. Boolits from his molds have accounted for the vast majority of my game animals for many years. His service will be missed.

Best of...

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Thanks for the tips, guys.
I'll see if the Eastwood blue causes the same trouble.

I'm coating twice. Single coat is thin, but nice coverage with 2 coats. Shake and bake.

Hey cast boolit brethren.

I'm noticing a disturbing trend of streaks building up in the bore for the first few inches ahead of the chamber. There appears to be a corresponding loss of accuracy...

Nicely done.
Cheers,

Canada has no SBR restrictions. If it's not semi auto, and overall length exceeds 26 inches, it's non restricted. Can't cut a barrel shorter than 18", but can make a new one to any length as long as...

Good show!
Congratulations, well done.

Thanks guys.

Good job with your first bear.

The 45 colt carbine strikes again. A nice grouse using a round ball from a Hammond Game Getter.

And a wolf, 280 grain powder coated, 50-50 air cooled, 1100FPS, propelled by HS-6. Range was about...

Thanks guys.
Conditor22, thanks, she's a pretty good porch warmer:grin:

Stomp.

Finally finished her up.
Nothing fancy like my last build, just a light, compact, handy little package, capable of significant horsepower if needed.
Outfitted with swivel studs for a regular...

Thanks guys, I'm in the process of final finishing this rifle now that it has been properly initiated and understands it's purpose:smile:. I'll post finished pics in a day or 2.

Thanks.
It's 14 inches.

He actually fell only a short drag from my driveway. I hunted him on my own property. So I was able, with help, to drag him to the road, and scoot his heavy butt up into my utility trailer for the...

Thanks guys. This was my first bear with this level of power. I shot several others with 45 colt, but with 325 grain cast at higher velocity. 1500+fps
I didn't see any real difference, but further...

Thanks,
Yes, my own design and build, I have made several now, but this one is especially handy. Finished weight is just under 4.5# with one in the pipe.
I am seriously considering building...

Stalked and shot this 300# plus bear opening day of season this fall.
The firearm is a 45 colt built on a sized down version of my own falling block action.
The boolit is a 280 plain base with a...

The 325 at 1100 will kill any black bear that walks. Put it in the right place and get out your skinning knife.

Not a 50 cal, but the first 45-70 I built is a 1-14"(spec rate for .458 winchester) twist and shoots great with cast at a variety of speeds and bullet temper. I am not convinced that twist...
