Most likely your handi can handle a bigger load than you.

Ive got a NOE ranch-dog 190gr. copy. Very nice mold!!!!!

I to have a mid 90's handi hornet that I bought for the same reason you did. I also bought the same NOE 225107 37 gr. mold. You did a great job working up the load finding the sweet spot. I reamed...

Ive got the mold in a 5 cavity GC. I havent done any casting with it yet but heard they were a good bullet in the 3006. Rick!
I stocked up during the 90s ban. 8.99 a brick on sale. bought 7000 rds. Later bought 2000rds of wolf target at 5.00 a box. I figure Im set and will keep my 22's a while longer. My 22lr is the...

If it were mine it would be in the mix.

Lucky,Lucky you. Ive got a 1895 GBL and love it. I would be very excited over the ltd V myself. I think its one of the best rounds for casting and reloading. Hope you enjoy your new lever. Rick!

It sounds to me like you got a fine deal. I bought a 1995 sb-2 handi back at the begining of the year with a 22 hornet, 357 mag and a rifled 20ga slug barrel (all had sights) for $350.00. I have...

I had a thought along the same lines as the op but I picked the H&R handi-rifle single shot in 22 Hornet as the base cartridge. I reamed it to a 22 K-hornet becase the cases hold up for many more...

Everything that I have ever seen spike in price because of a shortage. Even if its a real or staged shortage never seems to go back to the prices they were before it happened. Im a ammo hoarder...
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
I think the answer is as simple as cost. Lyman #2 is the best lead mix suited for any casting needed. If your not loading for rifle at speeds over 2000 fps why pay for an alloy if its not needed....

Unique, 3031, 2400 and reloader7. One of these should do a good job in your 30-30.
The SC311 165Gr. RF RG4 cavity GC (RD) from NOE is what I use.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
From what I've read the 25 acp doesnt have the case capacity to work well in a rifle barrel. An easier way for me was to load 22hornet to 22lr speeds with a 45gr bullet.

I take a .460 hollowbase mold please. ryoung1960athotmaildotcom.
I started out with Lyman molds.Then one single Ranch Dog mold, then he went out of bussiness. I have since bought 8 NOE molds straight. I think they are fine molds and at a fair price. I know without...

I think that being self sufficient is great but common sense plays a part in it also. By the time you buy a mold,lead and every thing you will need it may be a large cash lay out. Then you have to...

I got worried first when bill was the man trying to take our guns and stocked up in the 90's. I bought 7000 rds of bulk ammo at 8.99 a brick (500). Later I got 2000 more of laupa match at 5.00 a box...
If your looking to shoot distance you will want to shoot the lighter boolits for your 45-70. 292gr to 330gr is just fine for deer and hogs.

I was at a local pawn shop-gun shop today and I saw the first 22lr ammo in months. cci-sv in 100rd clear boxes. 22.75 a box. I laughed and walked on. I to stocked up when slick willie was the boss at...
