HEAVY BULLETS…FULL LOADS
HEAVY BULLETS…FULL LOADS
HEAVY BULLETS…FULL LOADS!!!!!!!!
I’ve fireformed thousands of cases from Hornet to Heavyweights. I almost ALWAYS neck and shoulder anneal now...

Thanx Hornady308 and pls1911 for doing the right thing and understanding how beneficial snakes actually are. I'll shoot a threatening viper as fast as anyone but certainly not "just because its a...

In easy to remember format, it's: bullet weight(in grains) x velocity squared / 450,000.

Ex: 250gr at 3000fps = 250(3000*3000) / 450000
250(9000000) / 450000

RugerFan...We hunted west of McGrath.

I finally took a nice Alaskan moose! I wish I could say I did it with cast, but at the last minute both my cast loads started acting up. I had worked up a couple good cast loads for the 35Wheln Imp...

Here are a few cast loads for my .350GP (my own wildcat). Case capacity is a couple grains less than std 35 Whelen. Load showing 53grC of Re-17 should say 49grC(compressed) with Rem 9 1/2 primer.

Hands down, my favorite mold. Bullets jump out of it. 36-210, 36-250 and 36-280.

Charlie,
Good timing....I touched off (6) rounds yesterday with the Accurate molds 36-280B (Lyman 35809) bullet cast at 15bhn out of my 1:14 twist, 26" 98 Mauser. At report, two 6# lead bars flew...

Similar story....at about age 14, I carried a '51 Navy on my trapline. I always put a drop of wax on the caps as frequent dunkings were a normal part of the day. I did a lot of experiments on making...

Well, after 40years of reloading I finally dumped powder back in the wrong jug! I have been downright anal about only having ONE powder canister on the bench at a time. A couple days ago I bought a...

Looking for suggestions/reviews on load data software. Starting to experiment with powders that are new to me in my wildcats and there really are not many comparable commercial cases that are...

Ithaca Model 49 22lr at 13years old. I shot a brick of .22's the first day. My mom was aghast that I could shoot that many. She took me back to Gamble's to get another brick.....this time with my $$....

High Desert Hunter,

What could I trade you to get a dozen or so of those sexy 353's to try in my 375GP.

Attached is my Accurate 35cal mold. Playing with the 250grainer from Accurate, I am having trouble getting that big flat metplat to feed thru any of my bolts. The 280gr and 210gr feed beautifully in...

Blammer,

Let me know if you want me to send you some sample "teeth" from my Accurate mold.

Yes sir, that a lot of lead. At the left is a std .35Whelen with the 280gr cast. To the right is the .375GP with the 350gr Barnes Original.

My original post about the Irish Elk (Megaloceros giganteus) was supposed to be in humor. They have been extinct for a while. I am going after an Alaskan moose this fall and have my rifle choices...

In the case of a 350gr bullet.....al lot! If my math is correct, bumping velocity up from 2000fps to 2300fps, takes it from 3111 lb/ft of energy to 4114 lb/ft. I want to be prepared if an Irish Elk...

Shuz,

I have some Rx7 and will make notes to try it. Starting to get decent enough weather to shoot up some of the dozens of loads that I have made over the winter. Everything from .22 K-Hornet to...

51gr of IMR-4064 pushes that 350 grainer out the skinny end of my .375GP at 2001fps.
51gr of IMR-4895 at 1978fps.

Let me know if you want to try a few? Got any old plain base molds (90-110gr) suitable for use in a 25-35Win or 25-21 Stevens?

Interesting results Saturday shooting a .250SavImp with cast RCBS 257-120's. The results of two different powders with all else identical was amazing. The velocity of the two loads were within 12fps...

Am hoping for around 2300. My shoulder is the limiting factor. I launched (20) 280gr'ers, (20) 250gr"ers and then to make sure that I would get a migraine, (8) 350gr 375GP's. I ordered a lead sled...

Is there a cast load in the Whelen that IS NOT accurate? Here is the result of fireforming a 10-shot sting this last weekend. Loaded with the Accurate 360-280B cast @15bhn. This is going to be fun! I...

Does anyone have a "sample pack" of 12ga shotgun wads that I can load up some BP brass shotshells with? I missed a real good deal on E-bay earlier in the week for brass shotshell wads. Thanx.
