Hi all BOOLIT heads,
I'm a casting rookie new to this awsome fourm (thanks to all involved) I'v been reading all the advice, tips, tricks, and gathered all the scatered .357 info I can find. Now it's time to put the specifics out there and ask questions.
1. (Info I'm hoping to absorb) Looking for a cast boolit .357 to deer hunt with...
..style, weight, alloy, HP or Non-HP
2.(my equipment, firearm and casting) I will be shooting a S&W 586 "L" frame 6in barrel toped with a red dot optic. I have all the standard casting equip, probably a bit more than the avarage rookie. (thanks, well equiped dad & friends) Hundreds of pounds of WW ingots readdy to be made useful, plus a good bit of lino.
3.(my skills, casting, reloading, shooting, hunting) I have included this to help refine my search for advice, by no means will I disregaurd anyones advice, wisdom or opinion.
Casting; I started casting last year with an idea, some equip, a book (lymans handcasting), a little mentoring and alot of T&E. In time obtained good results casting for my .45colt, .40, and .38/357.
Reloading; dillon, Bonanza, Poness, Mec, a total of 14, hope I dont need to go in to it (yes fourteen, the furture Ms. Orangezuk dosen't care so I'm golden)
Shooting/Hunting; Avid, responsable and ethical. I'm 29yo and started in the basement with the .22 at 6yo. Hunting fur and feather scince 12yo blessed with teachers of the field. In 17 years have had all but two big game animals literaly drop in their targeted tracks. I'v learned been taught the limitations of myself and my equipment.
In all this I am just looking to refine my search for advice/wisdom/experience al is welcome and will be well recieved. Thanks all
