I hunt the same way, most of my kills are less than 20 yards now with a bow. Hunt the same stands with gun so 50 yards is a long ways.

I have a ruger #1 45/70 that I want to shoot a deer with. I know Unique isn't position sensitive, how about at angles from a tree stand where most of the powder will be up against the bullet?
Thanks.

Thanks for the information, They passed the vice test, so I'll move forward with them

Thanks, I used a file on 8 of them. I'll see how well I did in an accuracy test, then an expansion test on filed and unfiled bullet.

Thanks, they are not round nose, but not as flat as the 31141 from pictures. The 31141 looks twice as flat if that makes sense.

I inherited several thousand .30 cal lead bullets. The ones that interest me the most for hunting are from Carroll Bullets, 190 gas checked. I found a load here that my gun and I like 21 grains of...
Thanks, my Father in Law was a "collector" of things, he didn't have a 03 Springfield that I knew about. He could have had one at one time, but he would buy leftover estate sales from a Local...
I hope this is the right place for this; I got 2 old peep sights that were my Father in Law's that I don't know what they fit. One is a Lyman and the other I'm not sure. The one that I'm not sure...
My contender manual only list a 292 and 405 grain cast bullet in 45-70. In 405 grain and RX 7---33 grain (1274 fps) to 41 grain(1447 fps) with 10" barrel. With 16" barrel they were about 125 fps...

I'm not an expert on the 45-70 or encores, but I do have both. With the light weight of the encore and the recoil of the 45-70 loaded hot, don't rule out a flat base bullet. I'm shooting a flat base...

I've got a 8oz. and 6oz. mold for fishing sinkers, I'd like to cast some 7 oz. sinkers. I'm thinking about mixing some wheelweights with zinc wheelweight to lighten the 8 oz. mold.
Good idea, bad...

I use a sand flea rake, I use it on the pistol range and the bullets are on top. About 5 "rakes" I have enough that's all I want to carry up the hill. Takes 2 minutes tops and no damage to the beam....

I thought it was 19 lbs, didn't look at the gun. LOL Nice score.
Thanks, I was left several molds and some I'll never use. I was looking at this one and thought it would work with his contenders in 357 maxi and 357 herrett.
I got this mold from my Father in Law and wondering it if would work for plinking loads in 358 Win, 357 Herret, and 357 Max.?
Too short??

Are you doing anything to the jackets before you sell them? I've got a 5 gal. bucket of jackets, little lead, and impurities from my smelt.

do you think there would be any danger in shooting a oversize bullet? If your bore mic out at .458 and your bullet runs .461. With light trapdoor loads would there be pressure signs? How much...
