A couple of molds that I have duplicates of. Both in used but very good condition, no rust, I've used both and they throw good bullets. Both are double cavity molds, as you can see in the pics....
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
In my experience, Federal brass has a little less capacity and I've seen pressure signs sooner with it than Winchester. I now have some Lapua .308 cases but haven't started loading them yet. I have...

Oh, about anywhere in the eye will do the job.

Looks good! I've thought of trying something like that. There's a good bit of meat there but if you try to trim it out uncooked you wind up with nothing. One of my favorite underrated pieces of...

I just recently acquired a very nice Model 71 deluxe made in 1952. Shot it Sunday for the first time with 200 grain Hornadys I loaded. I look forward to finding a good bullet mold and working up...

I recently acquired some Smoke's jet black PC in a trade and want to give it a try. Brand new to the PC thing, been doing it the "old way" for 40 years. I have both traditional lube-groove molds...
Forum: Gas Checks
Share with me your thoughts on the NEED for gaschecks on .357 mag bullets. I'm thinking here about full or near full power loads. I've used my 358429 bullets pretty successfully (very decent...

Had a bobcat come sneaking in on my deer stand a few weeks back, foggy morning, didn't see him till he was about 25 yards from me. Got over-confident and muffed an easy shot with my old Ruger flattop...

My latest lever gun didn't get to me until 2018; just picked up a 1971 Marlin 1994 SRC in .44 mag. Already put a Williams Foolproof on it but haven't shot it yet.
Forum: Leverguns
Thanks guys, that's helpful. Not dead set on using SWCs, though it would be nice since I already got molds. I figured the OAL thing would be a problem with 429421. I think my 429244 is a little...

Just picked up a 1971 Marlin saddle ring carbine .44 mag. I've had a couple of these years ago but only ever shot jacketed bullets in them. I'd like to shoot cast in this one, but anticipate feeding...

.41 will sure do the job. Before I narrowed down to .357 and .44s only for simplicity, I had three different .41s, two Rugers and a S&W. Only shot one deer with .41, but it performed admirably. Good...

Thanks for all the positive feedback. It wasn't a tough shot except that he was in a hurry to be somewhere else - if he hadn't stopped to lick that branch over the mock scrape I'd made, it would have...
Forum: Hunting with CB's
From the reading I've done, the primary thought behind the development of the .357 gun/cartridge was as a hunting arm, secondarily (but probably later overshadowing the former) as a law enforcement...

It was nasty weather (for hunting) and got really rough here right after dark last night. I think some kind of microburst, not tornados,but thee was a lot of local damage. Advance Auto Parts store...

They were both big-bodied deer, especially the one Colt killed. We didn't have access to a scale but I'd guess he was pushing 200# live weight; big for our part of the country.

Larry, my bullets are mostly wheelweight metal with a little pure lead added to soften them a bit; idea being I want my hunting bullets to expand, if possible. I've shot several deer with this...

Tex, I'm 59 years old and have killed multiple deer every year since I was 15 - but I still get excited every time. Especially with a more "challenging" weapon choice like handgun, muzzleloader...

Almost neighbors. Post a pic or two of those 503 bullets, if you can. I'd like to see them.

The 429244 HP cast from my first bullet mold ever (single cavity) are still my .44 special/magnum hunting bullets.
