458 Lott is my toy of choice.

I have loaded a bunch of rounds with jacketed bullets at some serious velocities.
300gr@ 2700+fps
405gr@ ~2500fps
500gr@ ~2250fps
600gr@ 2100fps

All I can say is, "ouch!" These loads get old after awhile, painfull and not to mention kind of expensive.

I have started playing around with some of these fancy cast boolits!
Some of the loads that I have messed with:
12gr Unique behind 400gr cast boolit
32gr H4895 behind 400gr cast boolit

Tons of fun, just looking for other loads to play with.

I have loaded with IMR 3031, somewhere around 50-60 grains depending on the weight of the boolit. They are comfortable. Dwight, I would be possibly be interested in the brass if TJ is not.
