Also my favorite bullet in my wad guns, hardball gun, truck gun & carry gun. My first wad gun is closing in on 80,000 of a combination of those and H&G 130's through...

Been out of circulation for a while, but thought I'd chime in on this one.
First, I only cast for 38, 41, and 45. So my experience is base on target velocities for pistol cartridges.

I started mine at age 4 & 5. S&W M34 Kit gun for revolver and a Chipmunk for a rifle. I'd be squatting right behind them with my arms around them (just to make sure). I never let them have toy...

While I have to admit to not owning a 270 for over 30 years, I have a soft spot for it. It was my first real Deer/Fox/Coyote/Prarie Dog rifle. When it's the only rifle you have,,,it can do...

At an earlier more anal time in my cast boolet journey, I separated a batch of H&G 68 flat base boolets, into 1 tenth of a grain groups. The bullets were all sorted and examined for base...

I'm going to agree with the majority of other posters and give Forster a big plug. I've been using mine for well over 30 years. I'm on the second cutter for it and don't want to take a wild guess...

Fryboy,
Are the capsules still available and if not any idea of their worth?
I only ask because a close friend of mine has 3 boxes of 357 #6 shot capsules. He got them in a trade and knew I...

That's better than the one I had. Didn't have it long either. Everyone I talked to got the same 4-6" groups with theirs. The first 2 shots were pretty close until the barrel warmed up a bit, then...
