I have shot around 15lbs of Data 68, an old surplus powder that is the same as 2015BR, great stuff! Use it in 25/20, 357 rifle loads, .223, 25/45 Sharps, 7.62x39, 35 remington, and mid range loads...

I use it quite a bit in the 7.62x39, very accurate and kills out of proportion to its paper ballistics. I have shot a couple a couple deer with it and my daughter shot a buck a couple years back...

Don’t remember the exact name but it is a purple that Smoke had in his powder listing on here. I went back to the safety blue as it seems to coat better with a thicker more uniform finish.

Once again amazed at how fast MP molds are delivered to the US! Order the 314-640 mold Sunday night and had it before lunch on Thursday. First batch is coated and ready to load for the T/C...

The pellet stove requires power and that is reason enough for me not to have one. I also know of a couple that have had control issues, one of which lead to the fire working back into the pellet...

I have ordered a 314-640-100grain mild from Mihec, I think this will be the perfect mold for this 32 carbine. Should be able to duplicate the 100gr xtp speeds and performance with this hollow pointed...

I ordered it on Labor Day and received it a few days after Christmas. Well worth the wait.

I am also glad I went with the 23” barrel, it balances perfectly. I had thought about going with a 19” but it would have been heavy in the butt end if I had. All in all very happy with it. I ordered...

The ranch dog 115gr bullet, gas checked & powder coated, is grouping well along with a store bought 120gr coated Missouri Bullet. 800x and AA7 both producing good results with cast boolits. Once I...

Been in the single digits here the last couple mornings so not the best condition for load testing. So far the best shooting load is the 100gr Hornady xtp with 9.4gr of AA9. This load was grouping...

I have owned and hunted with Browning 71 with a 20" barrel for the last 27 years, my advice is buy it! You will be able to track down brass and to be realistic how much brass does one really need? ...

Curious if anyone has ever tried the 25 caliber 100gr hollowpoint bullet that Hunters-Supply Cast Bullet offers? Thinking it would be a good one to try in my 25-45 rifle, currently shooting the 80gr...

I have the 3MOA Venom and love it. Mounted on a Ruger MkIII, previously had an Ultradot and after having the Venom would never go back.

There is definitely a marked improvement when using a softpoint cast boolit on live targets, especially with the under 35 caliber rounds. I have shot and seen shot a lot of deer with various cast...

I also recommend the Tikka 3x, worth the price and the effort to hunt one down. I ordered mine through Grice's down in Pennsylvania. I have a Model 38 Husqvarna with a receiver sight fitted and...

I just ordered a 32 H&R Contender barrel from MGM, should make for a pretty good walk about, woods bumming rifle. Cases are available, easy to load and easy on powder.

Filled my doe tag with the 357 handi rifle and a 200gr hollow point. I am continually amazed at how well that bullet works at 1100fps or so. 307303307304307305307306307307
I use a lot of Data 85 powder which is very close to Hunter, actually use Ramshot Hunter data when loading it. It does very well with cast in the 348 and 358 along with jacketed loads in the 6.5x55.
