I slugged my Springfield 9mm Range Officer and found that .358 worked for me. Actually, all my other pistols run expect my CZ TS, which now that I think about it probably needs .357 because it...

Ha, yeah the 30-30 I cast for is my sister's Marlin 336 and she's NOT willing to part with it. So, I might get a Marlin/Ruger 336 or.....

Just curious which rifle caliber for cast lead boolits would you recommend for ringing steel and paper targets? My limited experience/knowledge would guess something in at least .30 caliber. After...

Well, I don't have access to "regular tools" like child labor. ;)
When picking up my brass and range brass, I might have hundreds of 9mm and .223 brass. Using my single stage press was my goto to...

Appreciate this thread. My :ee APP is driving me crazy on how temperamental it becomes over a short time of use. Unfortunately, I don't have a 3D printer but I do have an empty red straw to try...

After purchasing a beautiful CZ 527 in .223 Rem, I was set to pickup it's brother cambered in Soviet 7.62x39mm. But to my dismay CZ decided to end production on their 527 centerfire line. Not sure...

I know this is an older thread, But no one answered the REAL question! Some casters come along later and see this thread, like myself, and still wonder...? For those who have and used these cast...

I did the recommended mods on the HF but it would never spray evenly no matter what I did to fix it. I've done plenty to make it work right and just gave up after. Check out this thread, Popper has...

This was the thread I was searching for. I dabbled with the HF powder coat gun but it only worked for a couple of times. Shake & Bake works fine for pistol boolits but wonder if sprayed rifle...

Probably a sign that you should try to take it easy a bit to mend up some before doing your casting/coating? ;)

Any thoughts on Eastwood powder coat guns? I had a Harbor Freight gun but it was cr@p! Worked alright for a couple of sessions then just go worse till I didn't want to fiddle with it anymore. ...

As a Lefty shooter, I like the ability to switch the bolt handle over. If they made one in 7.62x39 it would be on my short list.

Well, I'm getting to that age where I need optics to be accurate for distance. Currently, I just ordered DIP's extended picatinny mount for my .223 527 carbine. Now, I'm looking at scopes for...

Thanks TimD. I knew about the "site" term but didn't know I could add additional search terms at the end of the string. At least your advice I can filter down some of the search results. Good to...

AMEN!!!

I have the same problem. I will see posts about 45-70 and want to search for most posts about 45-70. Every time I use the search function on short words or calibers, I as well receive...

I used isopropyl alcohol 99% only when I sized my boolits with a Lee sizing die. Furthermore, I would make gradual reductions if needed so for example, if I had a cast boolit measuring .312 and...

Very interesting! Going to have to budget for this soon.

Thanks Hickok! I usually got to Gator Checks but they are sold out of all copper .22 Cal checks.

I agree with fastdadio & redhawk0. I've read on this forum that gas checks are a must with higher pressures but they also aid in accuracy compared to plain based boolits at lower velocities levels. ...

Rifletom - I chrono'd my sis's Marlin 336W with 20" barrel using the same boolit as you.

Results:
NOE SC165-165-RF, Gas Checked, Powdercoated
Unique 8.5 grains
5 shots
Avg FPS: 1358

What is the expected range for the Collar button boolits shooting flat, say 50 yards? Haven't had a change to cast or load any as of yet. TIA

Sundog,
Thanks for sharing your results between one and two ply gas checks. In addition, I was curious if you knew how fast your .308 boolits where traveling?

MegaSuperMagum's thread http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?365404-Henry-Single-Shot-Initial-Impressions talked about the trigger being a bit on the heavy side. Maybe North of five pounds...

Asking sage advice from the hardern, grizzled, and cantankerous owners of experience. Those who have either owned or used various calibers of rifles in numerous configurations too.

A little...

I can see Annealing to preserve your rifle brass. At least that's my only real reason that I aneal.
