Handloader magazine hasn't been the same since Ken Knox left years ago. He had some of the most in depth articles in his Pet Load section that were ever written. Another thing he did was write Pet...

I also shoot the 45-70 in both a Marlin and an original trapdoor. From my experience the mag primer does increase pressure some so when switching from standard to mag reduce load some and work up or...

For plinking I like the RCBS 300 grain FN GC bullet cast with 1 to 10 tin/lead alloy over a slightly compressed charge of Trail Boss. I lube them with LBT Blue for now but will be powder coating next...

It might be a good idea to check the sodium (salt) content of the Malt o meal, other than this it should work. I usually fire form my 41 Swiss with COW tamped down tight with a pencil then a drop of...

I really like the old 600 Remingtons. I have a 222 a 6mm a 308 and the 350 and all are good shooters. When I hunt in the woods they are perfect from a ladder stand or ground blind with their short...

Those groups were shot from a bench rest at 100 yards. The 350 RM is for a short action rifle though some gun writers have expressed an opinion that it should be in a standard length so as to seat...

I did a search on this site to see if anyone beside me was using the 350 RM for cast bullets and couldn't find any threads so will start one and see if anyone else has tried it. My rifle is an old...

I bought a turkey fryer from Cabela's and it doesn't have and automatic turn off. Picked up a cast iron dutch oven from thrift store and it works great.

Hope you get your book soon I've had mine for 20 years now and keep referring back to it. A few days back someone on this site had a question about bullet hardening over time and I replied to him...

I have a High Point carbine in 45 ACP. I was given 3000 empty case for a 45 so that seemed like the likely candidate to shoot them in and it is a blast to shoot.

A harder alloy might also bring his sized bullet up a little.

I have three contender barrel that I shoot cast bullets in and I crimp all cast bullets. Resistance to cast bullet is much less than that of a jacketed one so ignition of powder seems to be more...

I have had good results with the Lee 90 grain TLSWC cast from COWW and lubed with Lee Liquid Alox loaded unsized. I shoot them in a S&W hand ejector with 4 inch barrel.

Froggie I want what I can get out of a gun. I have 32 S&W long in a Smith for plinking I had a 32 mag and traded it so when I saw the 327 and read up on it I had to have one, so like you I like most...

Any suggestions on cast bullet loads for this baby? The gun is a Ruger 101 with 4.5 inch barrel.
I have recently obtained a 480 Ruger Red Hawk pistol with 7.5 inch barrel. I have two molds for it a 325 grain GC and a 400 grain PB. Both are Lee molds. I would appreciate info on powders and loads...

Veral Smith of LBT fame wrote a booklet called Jacket Performance With Cast Bullets and in it he had a chapter on hardening and heat treatment of cast bullets. In this chapter he wrote about aging of...

I use the Lee 40 cal 175 grain standard grove bullet in a 40 cal and a 10mm and it works well in both. Some adjustment in alloy may be needed to tweek it just so but for my money it is hard to beet...
My Lyman slug mold cast flat nose, hollow base slugs that resemble overgrown air rifle pellets that weigh with my alloy 470 grains. I shoot them in a Rem 1100 slug gun with rifled barrel. To date my...

I've been using the Prvi 7.5x55 brass for a couple years and it is good stuff. It has worked in three rifles without a hitch. I'm on the seventh loading of some and no sign of them wearing out.

My 458 SOCOM has mid length gas system and I shoot many 300 grain cast bullets through it with no problems in function or brass.

My 10 dollar Salvation Army Store oven is off by 75 degrees but with a cheep oven thermometer I know what temp to set it on for powder coating.
