    I need some 35 Caliber shooters to test some free boolits!

    I have a few samples of a new product that we are considering production of, and I need a few experienced reloaders/shooters of the 35 Remington, Whelen, etc. to run a few to check performance etc.

    The boolit is a clone (Accurate Mold) of the classic RCBS 200 grn RNFP, but cut in plain base. These are coated in Hi-Tek coating and sized .360. Alloy at this time is the standard hardball (2-6-92), but production will likely be Lyman #2 (5-5-90) or Electotype (2.5-2.5-95).

    In efforts to gather the most data, we would like to send out free sample packs (100 ct.) to CB members to evaluate. Participants must provide pics, weapon configuration info, chronograph readings, load data, and full writen review. Participants will also receive a discount code for 10% off future purchases.

    I will continue to send samples to interested parties until I am out.

    This will be the first of a few trials that we will be doing through this spring and summer, as we launch our new hunting line up of projectiles. We will also be running a couple options in for the 45-70, 45 LC, 44 mag, and 30 cal. Our goal is to provide those that do not cast with quality product at reasonable prices. Any suggestions or requests would be gladly entertained.

    Thank you!

    Wow, what a deal! We get to use our own powder and components for 10% off future purchases? We get to use our own camera, chronographs and weapons and give you all our results for 10% off future purchases? Wow! What a deal!

    How light are you planning on making the .45-70 boolits? I have a .45 Colt revolver with an oversize barrel (.4575" grooves) which would give you a whole different set of results.

    We will be running a 300 grn RNFP and a 405 FP. Once we get some ready, I will be posting them up for trial as well.

    Thank you for your willingness to shoot them up.

    Chris,
    I cast the RCBS 200gr for my .358 NM. It would be interesting to see how a plain base, coated bullet, stacks up against one that has a gas check and standard lube (White Label Carnauba Red). Count me in!
    Will you be at the gun show at the fairgrounds this weekend? If so, you can look me up there - Bill and I have two tables.

    I would love to help but with the MN winters I can't do any testing in a timely manor. Hopefully the 45/70 tests will be in the spring or summer. If so I'm in.

    Alright folks. We have all the prepackaged samples spoken for. I will likely be running another batch in Lyman #2 in the near future. I will update when I have some more available.

    Thank you for all the gracious support.

    Chris,
    very generous offer you made. I wish I had the rifles to give them bullets a try. I hope you get the results you are looking for.

    Count me in for future offers. I own 2 35 rems (Marlin 336) and 1 45-70 (Marlin 1895) and have a target range right outside the window of my loading and casting room.

    Count me in for future 35 cal offers too. Winter is upon us here in MO and I do my shootings every weekend when I can. I use the 357 mag and the 358 win in the bolt action77/357 and the Browning BLR 81 respectively.

    I've just gotten back a rebored Win 94 in 35/30-30 that I could give them a run in, I'm currently working on some bullets I cast from an NOE 360-200 mold & looking impatiently for an Accurate mold arrive so I can throw some 360-250b's, I'd be game to do some load devel. with the ones you are making on the RCBS pattern.
