I have a Rem model 7 SBR in 300BLK that I shoot exclusively with subsonic loads and suppressed. barrel length is 10.5" with another 10" of suppressor, and even at that short of length, exceeding...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Has anyone noted any barrel erosion from the use of PC bullets that may be indicative of the coatings possessing an abrasive quality? With the number of threads dedicated to this process, I would...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I have the 245 gr NOE mold that casts a similar bullet and I just lube them with LLA a couple of times and then run them thru a Lee sizer die. I personally don’t use anything that can come off of...

I shoot lead (ww alloy) thru my liberty freedom 30 cal can regularly, in the form of 300 blk subsonics from a bolt action SBR with 10 inch bbl, and have had no apreciable lead accumulation to date. ...

Perfectly timed post! I just wrapped up my Enfield sporter project and am now trying to decide on a mould. Mine is a 2 groove barrel but I have not slugged it to see what it measures….. will have...

Now bear in mind that I am not a metallurgist, scientist, expert or anything more than a beer drinking bullet caster…………… I have no theory, no formula to explain my observation, but if you think that...

I have a ported Marlin Guide gun in 45/70 and it seems to have no detrimental effect on cast bullets. I am shooting the RCBS 45-405 gas checked bullets at about 2000 fps from its 18 “ barrel. ...

When I water drop / quench harden boolits I fill a 5 gallon bucket about an inch or two shy of full, with as cold water as I can find. In the winter I will fill the bucket with snow first and then...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I have been curious of the effects of age on cast boolits. I am aware that certain lead alloys do age harden to some degree, however I have assumed that this process, for all practical purposes...

I usually take a pure lead musket ball and pound it into the muzzle end of the barrel with a wooden mallet then knock it out with a cleaning rod and measure it with a dial caliper. I then size .001...
Forum: Leverguns
Great information guys and thanks a bunch. As most of these rifles will be spending the majority of their time in the field riding on the front of an ATV, the chambers will be empty anyway. But...
Forum: Leverguns
So I am looking for some opinions here in regards to lever guns that only have the “half cocked” position as a “safety”.
Does anyone have any objective evidence that carrying a lever gun on “half...

Well I am darn glad to hear there are other folks out there enjoying the attributes and qualities of the 375 Winchester! I must apologize for the delay in my response, but I am confident that you...
Forum: Leverguns
So, am I the only one on the forum shooting the 375 Winchester? Just curious as I have two of them, one is an older BB94 and the other is a microgroove pre-safety Marlin. Have been barking Lymans...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I too have wondered about lube versus accuracy issues, but frankly it is the one variable that I have not yet had a chance to experiment with. I live in Anchorage and neither one of my lubrisizers...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I guess I dont run in circles with plumbers and have never seen it used for that kind of thing. I have used it (IAW the technical manuals) for ballancing propeller blades. The individual blades...
Forum: Gas Checks
Well my sabot’s, load data (nice copy of a copy of a copy of a computer program print out that I don’t understand) and special “sabot seating tool” (two high tech plastic pieces) finally showed up in...
Forum: Gas Checks
Thanks again for all the suggestions guys, and Bullshop I sure appreciate the load data. We haven’t been nearly as cold as you guys but were running around -12 to -7 for the first part of the week. ...
Forum: Gas Checks
Thanks for the input guys, and Dan its nice to hear from a fellow Alaskan. I don’t make it up to Delta Junction very often, but the next time I am in your area I will call ahead and swing in for...
Forum: Gas Checks
So the other day while having a few beers dinking around in the re-loading room AKA the “garage” and staring at my modest ammo collection I get kind of fixated on a 30/30 accelerator round that I...

Ok, I just edjumicated myself on the ranchdog bulets:) seems to be a sound concept and I am sure they shoot just fine, but I already have several lubrisizers and a good supply of lube as well as my...

I have been using the RCBS 45-405 for some time now in my Marlin GG and have no reason to look for another mould. they shoot great, load great and perform great. Dont know nothin about ranchdog as...
