.308 can be loaded nicely for medium sized deer at average distances, right?

I was thinking that the longest range where I live is about 300 yards tops. I've heard that the top two hunting rifles are the Savage and Winchester 70. I'm really not sure if they can be had in...

Ok, I was thinking along the lines of using another bullet for practice with the rifle, but then that defeats the purpose of practicing with my hunting load. :? Very practical, I must say.

Mmm, so LLA is good for tumble lube bullets and grease groove bullets, and the Lee sizer works fine with both. That means that I can get me either type of mould and should be fine. At what...

Well, I'm looking to begin hunting this year. I was going to last year, but got into reloading and casting first. I'm almost set between a .308 or a .270 caliber, and have pretty much set on...

How about for grease groove bullets? Is it best to tumble lube them, or pan, size, then tumble?

They guarantee a slip on gas check fit, and that many sizers/lubers can be a problem with shaving lead when crimping the gas check onto the bullet. They recommend a Star:

LBT's are expensive though! Does the price offset the attention paid to the gas check area?

I'm curious to know what moulds imitate Sierra Matchkings in profile. Ideas?

Guess I'll have to keep looking, most moulds I see are either aluminum or teflon. Not cool.

I thought aluminum would give way under the molten lead?

I went to the store yesterday and saw a variety of muffin moulds. Are there any in particular I should stay away from? I saw what seemed to be aluminum, because of the weight, and others with a non...

How about using silicone as a seal?

I did the same with a case of Bug Light....

Tidbit of information:
I just weighed the 5 gal bucket of ww and it measured to 176lbs. I have separated most stick on weights and have not gone...

Would putting stick on weights help if you have ingots alloyed with zinc? And, how much easier does a lead ww deform than a zinc ww?

A box of beer goes a long way....

Mine does a box of Bud Lights.

That would be awesome.

I wouldn't mind one of these...

My question would be, does anybody have pics of expanded bullets and the specs?

I'm sure your potential prospects would like to see how they test out on media.

Is it a big deal if I don't lube until I get it?

What is that lube that you can get at the auto section to lube between the mould and sprue plate? I want to get Bullshop, but while I get that, I want to start casting now. :mrgreen:

No tin added?

What was the lead recipe?
