If a fella wanted to shoot soft alloy fast he ought to consider paper patch. I used a .44 mag rifle for a bit over 25 years that was shipping 300 gr pure lead at ~1600 fps. It would put 10 shots in...

Don't consider BHN 11-12 to be 'hard' and have run the 311041 w/gas check at 2,100 + fps from a Win 94 Trapper. Accuracy was 1-1 1/2" for 5 shots at 50 yards. Would not hesitate to hunt deer with...

Mine is 19” and shoots 5 in 1/2-1” at 25 yds. 14” quiet? Sure. My supply of BB & CB caps is somewhat limited and will not be replaced. Preferred ammo is CCI CB Shorts. It has killed over 150 hogs...

Offhand shooting is drifting into the realm of extinction in the USA, but it is a very valuable skill. 25 yards? No scope, use open irons or preferably aperture sights. Scopes function poorly at...

.44 Mag with 300 grain pure lead paper patched, MV 1600 fps. Killed like a lightning strike, shattering every bone they touched. Neither deer or hogs took a step after being shot. Longest shot on...

Your problem is not the ammo, but rather the gun. My one short chambered rifle shoots .5-1" 5 shot groups at 25 yards, and so far, minute of dead pig out to a measured 38 yards with one shot. It is...

I've shot BHN 12 gas checked 180 gr with a Model 94 .30-30, no leading at ~2100 fps. BHN 10 up to around 1750 fps, no leading. I'm cautious about fit more than alloy. Referenced BHN 10 loads shoot...

7-1/2 or 8, end of story.

OTOH, I rediscovered something about 25 years ago. Having an interest in saving money for clays shooting I started loading the 12 ga with 7/8 oz #9 shot. It worked...

At the risk of sounding sacrilegious, you might try a round ball. I shoot a few from a .30 cal CF wildcat I put together. .310 diameter, sized to .309", wee bit of SPG lube smeared on the ball. No...

Never had any problems with it, but was not impressed even a little. I shoot CCI SV with reasonable performance in all of my rifles. The 10/22 dotes on WW Power Point when high precision is desired...

Don't have a 150 grain .30 mould, but do have a couple of ~180 grainers. My .30-30 is quite comfy pushing the Lyman 311041 to ballpark 2,100 fps. 12 BHN, boom-flop.

They are a nuisance for sure. My ‘dillo eraser is a T/C carbine chambered for shorts. I use BB caps and they are 100% effective. The neighbors don’t have a clue.

I don't find them anymore difficult to cast than other bullets and have done so for a .22 K-Hornet and a small .22 RF clone that uses CF primers. I would not do it with a Lee mould as they are...

Simple path? Round ball sized to accept a thin patch, maybe .005" thick without significant compression. Use a foam plug to keep your powder where it belongs.

Scroll down a bit, 28 ga in stock.

Killed many in 'Nam, never ate one. One of my buddies nailed one with a 2.75" FFAR. Piggy was on the run, but his rocket impacted directly under the pig's belly. Weren't anything left for the mess...

I have a very old damascus 12 ga double that loves about 80 grains of 2F and an ounce or so of lead shot, or even a single/double round ball of about .60 caliber. Patterns nicely, recoil is mild and...

Have been using a Lee tester for a long time and find it perfectly useful. Whether or not it is spot on is irrelevant to me. What matters at the end of the day is how well the end product flies. ...

Don't let your nose fall on your toes.

Just so y'all know, 'dillos are a vector for leprosy.

Have whacked more that a few with .22 BB caps. One shot, flop. Shorts work well also.

My lawn is quite fond of H110.

530 gr of 30:1 over a duplex load of 6 gr 4759 and 60 gr 2FG. .030” card wad.

My .45-70 disagrees.

My 77/44 didn't shoot jacketed bullets well either. Purchased in 1999. Would shoot 3-4" groups at 50 yards. Patched lead was the schizzle....
