I think I will try my successful 30-30 charge and bullet in the .308 at 2400fps aprox. It may not work with the 10" twist of the RFB and it may foul the gas port quickly and I will have to...

The ones they are building now for Oliver Winchester's 200th birthday have a 1 in 10" RH twist. Only $1200.00 Don't know where they are built. Maruku in Japan probably.

If that is what the Octagon 26" barrel is.

The gun and cartridge were designed together for smokeless powder and a lead, metal patched bullet. Exactly what we are doing here. Ace
Forum: Cast Boolits
I went through old posts, seems that 2700 fps is beyond the best accuracy and pushing the limits for lead. I was very happy with 2400 fps in 30-30, in a 26 inch barrel. It is a good case for lead....

Again, it is a bullet designed for 30-30 in .308. How about my BATOR .223 cast bullet in a .308 plastic sabot. I know I can get the velocity, but will it run the action? It will hardly leave a...

Let me clarify, I HAVE been loading 30-30, but never over 2400fps. Not bad to 220M Iron sights 26 inch barrel.
Now I want to load .308 and use a Burris Eliminator Ranging Scope on a Keltec...

Saeco flat tiped mold I use and love for 30-30.
What alloy and charge would you recomend. My rangefinding and calculator scope only goes as low as 2700 fps so I would like to go that high. I...

They should have a star plug in the mold to help the petals separate. Ace

Roadwarrior wants my mold, so you all can stop PM me. Sorry. Ace

Steel drum and the bullet chronos at 1850fps! still did not expand. Ace
Forum: Cast Boolits
I have also used .357 at 1000 fps and they expanded to aproximately 1/2 in. If I know I'm hunting, I will spring for the XTPs, but the Ranier Ballistics is better than we can make ourselves. Ace
Forum: Cast Boolits
My .45 Ranier HPs worked well at 1350 and 1850fps, but not well expanded at 1050. Nosler HPs disintigrated at 1850, but did well at 1050. XTPs had beautiful petals at all velocities tested but...

Good hollowpoints are much softer than good cast bullets. They have a jacket so as not to lead the barrel. Unless you drive the hell out of them, they will not deform as you hope. They are also a...

I was thinking of IMR 3031 with a 290 gr bullet. I've got that right here. Any idea of a starting point? Ace
Forum: Leverguns
I have tried some very slow powders in the past that would not burn cleanly due to not enough pressure. I fear that pistol powders create an unwanted pressure spike. I have been using AA9 in my...
Forum: Leverguns
I was looking for a slower rifle powder that would make best use of the 24 inch barrel. I'm shooting cowboy lever to 200 meters. Ace

Has anyone worked up a load using rifle powder for rifles in .45 Colt? 250 gr. for a 92. Maybe hotter than pistols. Ace
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
Do you know something about this particular powder, or blank powders in general? Blank powders have been used by the military to load subsonic pistol rounds for supressed guns.
And red dot is...

I wondered about 2-3 gr. for SASS mousefart loads. Ace

.45ACP? I would love to find some .45 colt that is not a crimped blank. Ace
