Looking at his other gear and knowing how much he has in most of it, it would be just another tool in his box. Akin to someone here just buying another mold. If it works for them and their needs,...

Nice pile there Apple Man, looks like time well spent.
As to conventional lube - vs - PC, well I have to say I use twice as much lube than I do the powder. Yes I have a dedicated little oven and...

Well I will be giving it a good run through the mill soon. I have about one and a half boxes of fresh fired brass, and a coffee can of 30-30 cases to build upon. I picked up some CFE Black and SW...

Ok so I didn't need one, but since when did that ever stop a person from adding to their collection. Besides I thought it was kinga neat.

My choice on the poll was other. Deer around where we hunt are usually on the move and hardly ever come in for those posed broadside shots. I learned at an early age using a .243 that I had to place...

I picked up one of the sporterized package deals on the M96 back in the mid 90's. I mainly got it for my daughter to have a inexpensive accurate rifle to hunt with and for her first rifle. It only...
Very timely post. I just finished prepping a hundred cases to set up and FF in my 30-30 AI Contender.
Lucky for me, I have everything that has been listed here so it should run rather smoothly....
I have had a similar problem working with some of the newer style molds. For 357mag, I'm using the MP 359-640 which with my alloy drops the large cavity hp at 160grs.
Like you I searched for...

For myself, by and far the most poured bullet in this caliber is the MP 359-640. I personally like the HP version but the FP also shoots good and produces good results.
My alloy drops the HP at...

We have a place in E TX and harvest a few deer a year from it. We also supplement those with a few feral hogs as we come across them. Combined in the grinder with some bacon ends makes awesome...

I load and shoot a lot of similar bullets to what you have there. With them and even with all the other types I have some that for whatever reason end up like the ones pictured.

For target I like the HG-68 or clone. I use 4.2gr of Bullseye and it usually shoots great. My alloy runs around a 9 - 10bhn.
Like mentioned though, if your going to go the cast route it might do...

I threw down on a 4C mold on #$bay and got outbid almost immediately. I just let it ride and ended up getting it at the end for about what I would have paid for a MP or NOE mold.

I use my 10's for hunting. When I got the first, it was about a year or two before the XTP and Gold Dot came out. I tried all of the Nosler bullets from 135 up and others up to 200gr. I finally...

I've burned through several 8# jugs, at 4.0-4.4 grains per load in both 9mm and 45ACP.
It ain't always the cleanest, but the groups make it very worthwhile.

Nowadays I use 13gr under 250-280gr cast in my Redhawk 45 Colt. Used it for years to load shotshell duplicating WW 1 1/4oz heavy field loads. Also it is correct that HS-6 is the replacement for it.
