Well if you make it to Cody WY you can shoot them on my place and I can show you a couple more towns.
I've loaded the LEE 340g .458 boolit sized to .454 over Lil'Gun for years in 4" and 7 3/4" Rugers. the 4" is about 1075 and the 7 3/4 almost 1300fps. hogdons lists loads for 325 and 360 cast loads...

The Savage Axis aren't good quality.
I just bought two more Ruger Americans a compact Ranchland in .223 and the Preditor in 6.5 Creedmore. Impressed with both! The .223 with a 3-9 Vortex is...

Have one in 308. No comparison to the Ruger American for an extra $40.
It it was great for 60 rounds then part of the mag came off and jammed up the action. It's had some other small quality...

A 230g cast at 1000fps aint no slouch for sure. I dont think the 250 @900 or 300 @750 would be a huge improvement but they would be somewhat better in the old SAA loadings. Just make sure it shoots...

On Gunbroker now $349.00 11.5" fluted barrel

I'm still having visions after the shot. War cry and butt strokes!
Forum: Hunting with CB's
well they don't take in bore size or gun weight. I've shot 2" .357s that are way worse than a full size 45.
I had to put down my ram yesterday after it attacked my daughter again. I shot him in...

I bought a JM gold trigger to do this to also. I just havent sent it to him yet because I'm not sure if the 20" will be good or if I should look for longer barrel.
Any hollows? My LEE .54 ball mold is terrible at giving me hollow balls. I'm cast hot/warm/pure/alloy etc. Shelved it for now but I need to get it working :violin:
I have the LEE knock off about 1.5 years old and it dropped too small for my 45 revolvers. Dead on at .451 so I'm saving it for a 45ACP.

But thats as a HP. I'm guessing its the same profile as a 250g boolit so will be fine. Not sure why they are "a bit long" for Rugers my 2 Blackhawks chamber about anything but my Redhawk gets...
Forum: Cast Boolits
The Lyman book has 270-315g load data for the 38-55, that 285 is about as big as will fit in a lever I think though. My 38-55 loves my 320s. Trailboss is a HOOT in 38-55 but 3031 and R7 are...

Your physics are flawed. A rapid expanding soft core JHP over its limits yes...but that's not what is happening here. A .358 110g JHP in my .357 Herret at 2500fps does things to a jackrabbit that...

I get a long way in there. Rifle malfunctions happen, scopes get dropped, magazines fall out while hiking, etc. For deer and antelope I get multiple animal opportunities also. I carry what's in...

Thank you all. I only orders the RCBS LAM II .311, .358, .459 sizers and the Lyman heater
Forum: Casting Equipment
So work just gave me a $750 reward for being the #1 Q4 guy. Its only to Amazon.
So I want a lube sizer and a new press. I can get either the RCBS Lubeamatic II or Lyman 4500 with heaters for...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
Isnt this the truth! Its also how I built my Frankenlube. I started off with a common formula and modified it by feel. Too sticky add parafin, too flakey add LLA, too oily add carnuba, too soft...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I agree most people dont want to be, live, or shoot in my chosen conditions! -40 happens and worse with artic blasts and wind chill. The last deer i shot on Dec31 it was -23F and -42F corrected...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
My lube started out 40% parafin 40% beeswax 10% carnuba with the balance of LLA and Dextron III. But I've modified it over the years with more LLA and
gear oil.
in 100F weather it's slightly...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
Very interesting responses thank you all! I think I'll take about 1/2 cup of my lube as a base and see if some of the diesel products and/or some 2 stroke oil can wet it more. I have about another...

Mine got a new rubber pad and a 4X steel Burris I found for $60 made in the 80s. Also the weaver base is junk buy the one by H&R its much better.
I did this after running 450g cast at 1900fps...
Just the LEE 340g sized to .454. Its a nasty round full house or even starting data. I push it over 1100fps in a 4" and over 1300fps in a 7.5". Its a good bear load but I dont shoot it much any...
