I am interested in making my own boolits. I reload for my 44 mag ruger blackhawk and a single shot .445 supermag rifle. I am interested in the Lee 430-310 bullet and it would be great if I could use...

Midway USA list individual Cowboy expander dies. The price and the wait time from being special order may convince you to buy the whole three die set though.

Spiffy7,

I have the RCBS cowboy dies and it is a three die set. That is the easiest way to load the cast bullets but im sure you could make something else work as others have stated. If you plan...

Got a 6pt yesterday with the old rifle. He walked up out of the creek bottom and was no more than 25’ away when the hammer dropped and I put one through his front shoulder. He ran about 80 yards and...

I just got a load worked up for my old marlin 1893 in 32-40. Im loading a
RCBS 32-170gc over 17grs of IMR 4198 in 30-30 brass. The load shoots great and is as acurate as I can shoot with iron...

Today I reformed some 30-30 brass to 32-40 and trimmed it to 2.045” I seated the RCBS 32-170 to an OAL of 2.50” The bullet was seated deeper than the crimp grove but neck tension seemed to hold it. I...

Antiquesledman,
I may possibly have some RCBS 32-170 boolits that are out of spec or the chamber of my rifle is out of spec. You and a guy over on the Marlin forum along with others seem to have...

I have recently purchased a Marlin model 1893 in 32-40. The bore seems to be in good shape with good rifling and no noticable pitting and slugged .321”
I have reformed brass from starline 38-55...

Missouri bullet works offers bullets 12bhn and are lubed with thompson lube. Would that bullet and lube be soft enough to try? The bullets are bevel base

My original thinking was to try and fire a lighter cast bullet at a higher velocity to achieve flatter trajectory so I came here to ask for suggestions on what bullet profile would give me the best...

Bluejay75, I was shooting the 240 xtp in the rifle when it was still a 44mag before the ream job. I was easily getting 1.5” groups at 100 yards with 23 grains of IMR 4227. I havnt tried it in the 445...

I have a 270 Win that I primarally hunt with that is fully capable of 200 yard shots. It would just be nice to make 200 yards shots with this rifle as well if it is possible. An opportunity at a shot...

I will have to try tire shops and auto centers again. About two years ago I went to just about all the tire shops in my area and there was already someone that was coming get it. My father in law is...

I do belive the trajectory will be like a rainbow but I plan to zero the rifle about 3” high at 100 yards. That should level it out a little and take away not all but some guess work at the longer...

Where can I find the vendor sponsor section?

I have been look at the mold and other needed items on MidwayUSA. It is definitly something I will try to purchase this year.

My appologies for not being clear. I was meaning that the lyman...

Well it sounds like the odds are agaisnt me making this rifle work at 200 yards. I will still try though because I have 10 months until hunting season starts again and its always fun to shoot and...

I just spoke with Montana bullet works and they recomended a 250 grain LFN. I ordered 100 to try out. If i start to cast I do belive that will be the first mold I buy. It is one awsome looking bullet...

Yeah I am already starting to wish I would have had the rifle reamed out to 444 marlin and it may be one day but for now I already have it reamed to 445 supermag and have some brass so I will play...

Tire shops around here no longer use lead wheel weights so Im not sure where to find good lead

I want to get in the game bad. I have a mold for 44 but dont have a supply of lead yet and im not sure where to get it. I have some lead saved and i have 1000 hard comercial cast bevel based bullets...

I think the easiest thing to try out of all the suggestions would be to find softer bullets with a flat base? Any ideals on where I can buy softer .358” bullets with plain base? Preferably a SWC. I...

Well I was hoping for 2000fps or better to give me a flatter trajectory. 1600-1700fps using a 250grain bullet is obtainable with a 44mag rifle. With the 445 Supermag I am looking to shoot a little...

To slug the barrel and throats I used muzzeloading round balls. I have a calibrated 0-1” mic that measures down to .0001” that I used to use doing machine work. I feel good that I made acurate...

Bosterr, If it is being caused by fast powder and hard lube I should be able to elimnate this by coating them with liquid alox? I have about 7# of Unique and 4# of red dot on my shelf and the recoil...
