What's your favorite cast bullet gun?

[Shopdog]

Bought a '16 R700,stainless SPS 7-08 new. Never seen a factory round or a JB.

Wears a minty B$L 3-9X40. Shoots a nose bumped,as cast body,GC sized Lee 285-130RN. In the nose bump,a meplat gets swaged. Lube is 3/1,BW/vaseline. Ernie gunsmith trigger spring to set weight to 3 1/4#. Saving $$ for a Timney but ain't terrible as is. Action is bedded and forearm opened up for clearance/cooling. Stock custom painted oak tree lichen green with black spider webs.The load is 37g Varget and CCI primers and a light jam,that works up through the mag.Day in and out,rain or shine,hot or cold into a ragged hole at 100.

It's rarely out of my sight.

I love casting for my 8mm Yugo Mauser, 9mm pistols, and 45acp's. Not sure why I do, but I've come to realize that I just enjoy casting and loading and shooting boolits much more than jacketed.

However, my all time favorite rifle PERIOD is my pre-64 Model 70 .270. I have never cast boolits for it, but it looks like I should!

My Glenfield 30-30. Or my 5" .44 special Ruger Bisley.

[Biggin]

Any of my several handguns. They range from 38 special, 357 mag, 45 acp, to several 9mm handguns.
They all work well with cast.
I haven't tried rifle yet.

I'm with tazman, so far I only do pistols. I'm mostly a handgunner though I do own rifles and shotguns.

That Model 70 is totally doable! We need more 270 casters!!! Let me know when you are getting ready for it and I can send you some boolits from different molds. Might be cheaper than buying molds at random like I did.

My Glenfield 30-30. Or my 5" .44 special Ruger Bisley.

I find my self looking at the Ruger 44spl a lot. I have a Marlin 44mag 24" CB rifle. On the fence about keeping it. If I do I'm getting a 44 spl ruger to go with It!

I really like the looks of the short barrel Ruger.

It may not be for the same reason as every one else, but my 98 Mauser in 9.3 x 62 MM Mauser it is the last rifle built with my late friend Mike. I shoot a cast boolit from #2 Lyman in a Accurate 37-285 C mold over a 70% load of H4895, it will get a 1 inch group or very close to it any day , and just memories of two old Vets, make it all better

Favorite right now is a JES re-bored Marlin 336 in 38-55. I use the Accurate 38-250B loaded anywhere from 1250-1600 fps using Universal, 4198 and 3031.
Honorable mention to my family heirloom Marlin 94 25-20. Built in 1906, this one is a hoot to shoot and my favorite woods loafing gun. It's just getting too hard to find parts for when breaks down. Looking for an ejector right now.

I like my M1903 Springfield, in that it is very pleasant to shoot with cast bullets. It shoots as accurately up to 150 yards as with ball ammunition, beyond which I have difficulty discerning a small target, making performance at longer distances a moot point.

I like my S&W Model 28 with the Lyman 358156 gascheck bullet, which shoots as clean as any jacketed projectile. I am grateful to the late Charles 'Skeeter' Skelton for touting loads with this bullet, which saved countless hours of experimentation.

My dad's Remington 760 in 30-06. I use Trail Boss, Unique, or Red Dot under either a 311041 or a PB 165 grain RNFP.

Just got home from shooting it. Been filing down the front sight to pair up with the Bowen rear sight I put on. Think I got it now. Been using a 250 gr. RCBS Keith style boolit. I'll be shooting this Ruger until I can't I think.

MGM barrel in.32 S&W Long 27" length on a T/C Contender. Cheap, fun, quiet, fun, accurate, fun. Did I mention fun?
