These are not treated...just regular pine 2x4's. I think I'm gonna try just burning them on a grill grate and see how much lead I actually get...

Maybe I'll try that first...not as much fun though...lol

Ok guys, hope I got this in the right forum. Anyway, when we were repairing my local range the officer in charge said to toss out all the broken 2x4 supports. As I was doing this I noticed they...

Well Hunters Supply was nice enough to send me a few 300 gr. bullets to test with my last order. They will fit in my .357 Max. chamber so I will measure the case capacity to see if it will even get...

I'm looking to use some heavyweight projectiles in .38 special/.357 mag. brass shot through my .357 max. contender 10" and encore 26" barrel. I have found data up to 200 grs. I have found 300 gr....

Paul, any photo's of the bullet and/or mold?

Also where does everyone find the best load data? Expecially for cast bullets?

Can i use Alox on a bullet with lube grooves? I'm not looking for superior accuracy just something shootable. TIA!

I have tried the IMR 4227 I was ok...about the same speed as 5744 but lost some in accuracy. ..I would like to try some RL7 at some point...

Great stuff so far guys...I have a 26" Max. encore barrel chamber by Bellm...shoots great...I was hoping to be able to use Lil Gun for a little more speed but AA 5744is more accurate. So until I...

Let's discuss the .357 Maximum...I am loving this caliber and it's difficult (not impossible) to find new info. or stories involving the Max. I just can't get enough...so tell me your stories or...

Pistol. Under 100 yds. for sure probably 50.

To me it just seems wide...when I am aiming the sight seems to block alot of what I am seeing. Also it's close to being wider than the frame of the gun, if it isn't wider...which could snag easier...

Does anyone have photos of aftermarket sights the put on their G2 Contender? I'm interested in getting some with a fiber optic front sight most likely Williams but they don't have photos on the gun. ...

Thanks for all the replies...lot of good info. here! I'm gonna have to implement some of this stuff. It's gotta help...every little bit helps!!!

I recently acquired this mold from a buddy. It is a single cavity mold that is marked Lyman. Can I assume I just need a Lyman single/double mold handles? TIA!

I have had a S&W 386 XL Hunter in .357 Mag. now for almost a year and I love it. I shoot it well enough but would like to get better. Lately I have been trying to shoot longer ranges (out to 100...

I just received my order from Carolina Cast Bullets (.359 dia. 175 gr. GC for my 6" .357) and am wondering how you you guys know when you need to soften the nose of the bullet? I plan on hunting...

Beerd, thanks for the notice. Unfortunately, I just ordered 500 of the Carolina Cast Bullets 175gr. RD bullets. So I thinks I'm gonna pass on this one.

MtGun, the bullets measured .355 &. .356 with my calipers as do my home cast bullets...this is why I think they my not be working correctly. I also ran a .360 round ball through the the barrel from...

Animal, accuracy never seemed to suffer, however, it was only 7 shots. The leading after all 7 shots was streaked from throat to muzzle covering one or more of the rifling. I used shooter's choice...

Yes, you are both right...it was 8 and 8.5gr. I will edit the OP to reflect.

So I ordered some .359 175gr. Ranch Dog bullets from Carolina Cast Bullets. They were out of gas checks at the time so they sent me 7 bullets to sample. They look amazing...they shot amazing well...

Tatume, do u use magnum primers with this load? I definitely want to try this load out but was unsure how the recoil would be with the heavier bullet and also need to figure how much energy I'd have...

COL is 1.658 and the bullet is pictured below. I love it in my .357 Max. but I think it is a little heavy in the Mag. That's why I'm trying to find the 158gr.
