any on the buy that want to sell the mould? i missed out :-(
Mr. Nelson, when is the next batch of this being planned for?
thanks,

Lyman 3589 and my Remmy with factory 1-16 twist does just fine. that much Pb does back you up some though. the 200 will be a much nicer plinker. if i ever rebarrel though, i'd probably pick 12...

RCBS 7.62-130-SPL. what do you get for as cast diameter? casting temp? alloy composition? ladle pour? bottom pour?
thanks,

It's a horrible deal. you should right away send it to me of course (LOL).
458 WM might make a dandy CB caliber.
i'm not enough of a shooter to drive that caliber. I've got lesser calibers...

Lyman 311410 size 0.311". vary seating depth as required. try 10 gr. of fast burning powder, 13 gr. of Unique though Blue Dot or about 16 gr. of 2400 or SR4759

Dave Scovill's RCBS 45-270-SAA sized 0.456" over 13 gr. of Blue Dot. - general utility load
RCBS 45-300-FN sized 0.456" over 21 gr. of H110 for max load - really kicks too hard for general use. ...

I have both a Colt Anaconda and a S&W 45 LC Mt gun and both have 0.456" cylinders. i couldn't get either to group cast worth beans with "normal" moulds. i finally tried Dave Scovill's RCBS...

Lyman 311410 sized 0.311 works well in my m1c. just seat to cover up the gg. adjust powder charge accordingly (down)

FWIW, my Rem 700 Classic shoots the 3589 just fine, though it kicks vigorously. Factory bbl is 1-16 twist. IF you are going to rebarrel anyway, then pick what you want.

Al,
My Marlin 1894CL has almost no throat. i have to seat deeper than crimp groove. no big deal. just seat deeper until can just close action and bullet just touches throat. then crimp...
the throat on mine measures 0.381 if i recall correctly. Hmmm... maybe it was 0.383". none the less, slug the throat too, and size to the throat diameter to get best accuracy if you're going to...

Swede,
please sign me up for a single cavity HP. Let me know when/where to send the check. Looks like $68 + $35 + $10, correct?
thanks,

Canuck4570,
Here's something to contemplate. Since you'll be going sans GC, big and heavy and slow (582 gr. wow). think about getting one of those heavy things HP'd. it will aid expansion at...
Forum: Cast Boolits
uh...guys... the evidence is there in front of you. size the driving bands to whatever the throat diameter is (do a chamber/throat slug).
however, notice that the BORE is the same dia. as many...

Denul,
when does this go to GB status?

Forum: Cast Boolits
Lyman makes a "devastator" 125 gr. HP mould already. cast it soft and it should open up. with the lighter weight, should penetrate less, thus reducing ominous richocetts. or try driving a 148 gr....

how many folks have to express an interest before a GB proceeds?
thanks,
Brian
hope you know already, but you'll get better accuracy if all the copper fouling is cleaned out before you go Pb grouping.

CBs work great in a 35 Whelen. i've used RCBS 35-200-FN and a Lyman 3589. on the group buy section they're getting a 3589(358009) group buy together. if you're thinking of CBs and 35 Whelen, i'd...
