I too would pick the Lee out of your two that shoot accurately.
The suggestion of water jug tests, with reduced loads, to find how it behaves at different velocities is on the money.
Also, you...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
I agree on using 7.62 military brass to prevent confusion.
For those suggesting 250 or 22-250 I wouldn’t do it. Both those cases have radical case taper, and the 300 has nearly straight case sides....

Not to be crass, but hoping to screen separate these two radically different speed/type of powders is plain stupid. We aren’t in the dang zombie apocalypse. Anyone telling you otherwise probably...
Forum: Hunting with CB's
I only have two things to add, as I’ve only killed paper with cast in a rifle.
First, since your rifle has the 31 cal bore, do you know how much free bore there is? Who’s to say it’s to print since...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Well sir those will do nicely, and I imagine at the bore to weight ratio move pretty quick, and Barnes has a good reputation for coppers. I think some of the newer monoliths from the big makers don’t...

Sorry for the double post on the links guys, it acts crazy on my phone sometimes. @moleman have you tried the 180-200 grain HAP bullets for expansion and holding together? I know on many of your...

Good morning Friend!
Thanks for fleshing out the two 40s you worked with, and for putting up the 40GPC. I’d forgotten they’d done that one until you mentioned it.
Interesting about using the...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Just buy 6.8 basic brass from Starline and be done with it. I dreamed up .375 on the 6.8 SPC, my friend (he also visits here) Moleman made it a reality for both us, the 375 FUW. Has some case taper...

Pure DMSO doesn’t smell like garlic nor put that taste in your mouth. Thin all DMSO at least 1/1 with distilled water or you can get some skin burns. Make sure skin is scrubbed CLEAN before use of...
Forum: Hunting with CB's
I’d say if you’re blaming the 1/28” twist as “slow” , then your 240 shouldn’t shoot well either, and honestly should shoot WORSE than the 210. Something else is the issue. I don’t have a NEF 44, but...
Forum: Processing wild game
1papalote, that is unfortunate that the other hunters waste so much. I understand not everyone (unfortunately) eats organ meats, but to throw away 40+ lbs of straight up muscle shows people are not...

This might be of interest to you https://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?441130-700X-favorite-loads-for-handguns
I’m a pretty fair rifleman, and admittedly a pretty poor handgunner by most measures. However, I know that if I’d spent the same effort with my pistols/revolvers I’d be much better. That said, I...
Forum: Shot Loads For Pistols
Excellent tip, thanks. Hadn’t thought of this, even though a friend of mine has used .223 to make rimless 357 Max for many years (and neat-o ARs to shoot higher pressure versions of them as well).
Forum: Shot Loads For Pistols
I’m going to give this a try for my 38 and 357. Matter of fact, I’ve been considering a single action dual cylinder 45 ACP/45 Colt. I’d imagine using the ACP cylinder with reformed 460 brass. Seems...
Forum: Hunting with CB's
Oh forgot the most important part: great shooting and your book it’s look great, the flat point really performed nicely !
Forum: Hunting with CB's
I don’t have one or a 357 Max, but 1680 or one of the flavors of 296 (Win, Hod, AA or Alliant) ought to allow ultimate power if desired. I sure wish they would have used either a 357 or 358 bore...
Forum: Leverguns
I think you did well. Retail prices on the “standard” caliber new production 92s is WAY up. These $4-500 dollar guns are now like $800. For a gun made with $5 an hour Brazilian labor that’s pretty...
Forum: Swaging
Cleared my post. I just read the whole thread and Red River already corrected the fallacy of a 10” diameter cylinder only creating 2000 lbs of force on 200psi.
A 3.5” D cylinder will do that.
