Yes. I meant 375 Weatherby. I don't type as fast as I think! So yes. Going from 375H&H to 375 WBY would be just a rechamber, though P.O. Ackley wrote that properly rechambering to an improved...

Issue: Last round from the internal box magazine pops up and out of the action, leading to a jam.

Facts: Howa 1500/Weatherby Vanguard long action receiver originally chambered for the 300...

I like your review, Blood Trail. Tells me what I need to know. I'll be ordering these for my 525gr Lyman.

I have the Lyman 525gr slug mold that I just received. As cast, my slugs weigh right at 500 gr due to the alloy used, of course. My scale says that is 1.14oz, so actually less than 1 1/4oz. If I...

Good morning, folks. I am looking for molds to cast the two big 458 boolits pictured here. One is a 550 gr that shoots great in my 1895 guide gun. The other is a 720 gr that I shoot in my 458...

Well maybe not this particular slug with any given specific wad, but I would think another wad would work. I like the idea of the wad coming off the back of the slug more slowly.

Well I took one of the .501 440 gr bullets and banged on it with a hammer. I placed it, gas check down on the anvil portion of my vice, and smacked it 6 times with a stone hammer. The bullet did...

So before I do anything with these bullets, I am curious about what my risks are. If the potential for poor accuracy is a problem, I can live with that for plinking purposes. If the risk is they...

Hmmm. SO these bullets are likely 3 BHN less than what the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook recommends for the bullets I'm wanting. That assumes I didn't lose antimony from the initial alloy during the...

I have shot many, many 395 gr Cast Performance WFNGC bullets in my Ruger SRH 454. They shoot better than I can hold, I'm pretty sure. The ones I've dug from the sand backstop could be loaded again...

I was casting for the first time in months last weekend. I was using Lee molds I got for Christmas. One mold is a two holer that makes 440 gr WFNGC for the 500 Smith & Wesson. It started dropping...

Well I usually see alloys in a parts ratio, not as a percent. I don't know what 4-6% antimony translates to in the alloy. My bullets are gas check designs, so I don't think I need super hard alloy....

I have a new 25# bag of Federal Premium Magnum Shot that I purchased for melting and casting boolits with. It says "Hard, High Antimony Lead". Any idea how hard that would be? I am looking to cast...

I have been wanting to try the flight control wads with the Lee 1 oz slug. My thinking is the wad will keep the slug alligned with the axis of the bore and then separate off the back leaving the...

Thanks so much for all the info, Guys. I really appreciate it. I'm never going to make the cover of GQ magazine as I am, and I certainly don't want to blow up a gun in my face. Additionally, My...

That was at 35 yrds with ghost ring rear and post front sights. Cylinder bore is what this gun has.

I see what you're saying about the base being ok. so the petals of the wad tearing off...

My concern is the diameter of the meplat when it comes to feeding. I have shot lots of the Hornady 500 gr JFN, and it always feeds well, but the shorter 300 gr Speer Gold dot doesn't like to feed...

Today I busted out my trusty Mossberg 590A1 and some loads I had worked up witht he Lee 1oz slug. Win AA hulls, CB 1138-12 (win 12R replacements) 44 gr of Blue dot, 2ea 20 ga nitro cards beneath the...

I am an experienced metallic cartridge reloader, but I'm a novice at shot shell reloading. I've tinkered with a few loads, working with the Lee 1oz slug, but that's it.

So here are some...

Thanks guys.

I bought some cast bullets years ago from a guy that is no longer in the biz of selling the bullets. I have a handful of the bullets left. Before I shoot them all, I'd like to have a couple of molds...

I want to work up some loads with this slug for my smooth bore mossberg. Or maybe I just need to invest in a good rifled barrel for it.

I was at the local rifle/shotgun/pistol range today doing my thing with rifles. As I was leaving I see a guy shooting an H&R Ultra Slug gun. I always keep my eye open at the range for...

Good afternoon, everyone.It's been maybe a year sincce I have been on this forum just due to work and whatnot. I did some work a while back with the Lee 1oz slugs, but accuracy was what I would...

This is the closest forum group I could find, and I figure someone here will know the answer. It's not a case forming question per se, but it has to do with case sizing.

My 458 Lott brass only...
