I'll be glad to share my pet load for my Marlin in that caliber. RCBS 240 SWC sized .430, 24.0 H110, magnum primer. One of my most successful endeavors at shooting cast from a rifle. A pretty stout...

I actually bought the grill grate and when I went to check out they said hey we have these two skillets on special you can add to your purchase for $10. They were an 8 inch and a 10 inch. So, I took...

Just bought two Lodge cast iron skillets when visiting the Lodge outlet store. They came pre-seasoned. I was skeptical about the seasoning that was on it. I thought I would test the seasoning with...

I must say this NOE mold is a work of art. After finding the right temperature for it and the pace it liked, I couldn't throw a bad one. It is sweet and dead on .225. Al you are a pro. This...

It seems to be more and more prevalent to say "moun-uns" instead of mountains. Or "vo-un" instead of voting. Not a speech impediment, just leaving off the "t". Don't get me wrong, I truly enjoy and...

Man some great stuff there 1Shirt. Is the technique you use for the 22's the pressure fill and then pull away for the small sprue? Same method for hollow point and standard boolits? Your post is...
Finally got around to ordering me a four cavity NOE .225-FN .55 grain (RCBS copy). Can't wait to get this baby in and working. From what I'm gathering keeping the mold hot is the key to casting these...

Awesome. Kinda like adopting a scraggly puppy from the pound and it turns out to be a great dog.

My rifles get one pass with a bronze brush per round fired between groups. A five shot group gets five passes etc. I use a bore guide also. This is just to keep bore consistent group to group. No...

Good advice already. I would be more concerned about coming out with the desired diameter than worrying too much about the weight. Just put a little note in the container that you use to store your...

I got that mold for Christmas. Haven't gotten shoot any of the pile of boolits I've made yet, but I hope it will shoot good in my S&W 1908 32-20 also. From what everyone says I'm expecting great...

Looks like a repro of the Confederate version (brass frame) of the 1851 Navy revolver. The South started producing brass frame revolvers due to the shortage of steel. They are notorious for shooting...

Checks can be annealed therefore reducing the springback. I use a small length of metal pipe with end caps on both ends. Put your checks in the pipe with some newspaper. The newspaper burns and...
My Ruger 45 Colt with 4 5/8 barrel shoots Bullseye really well. Either 7.0 or 7.5 grains with the RCBS 45-200-SWC. Around one inch groups from a rest at 25 yards.

303Guy, that is the way these boolits are. They have to be seated with the seating die and don't budge. I take that to mean I have a good amount of neck tension.
Let me also say that I really...

Thanks Longbow. Yeah for sure starting on the low end of powder charges for the COW. The 311284 may not be the best boolit. I grabbed it because I had some handy. I was thinking a longer boolit may...

The Fat 30 is a Loverin Jeff. And to be honest, I haven't found that boolit to shoot all that well in anything I have tried it in so far.
Again thanks for the great suggestions.
