Thank you. It was a complete pass through so no recovery. I use plastic sabots so the boolit fits inside of that and loads very easily.

I was able to slip in my blind this morning for one last muzzleloader season hunt. Within a few minutes of getting in my blind a doe stepped out at about 20 yards. I was too busy lighting my propane...

Nice buck and that doe is a monster. Glad everything worked out with the neighbor!

They both have the cool factor, that's for sure. If you are confident in the 25-20 and you have proper shot placement, you should be good. 30-40 will give you more margin of error to get the job...

Hodgdon has some load data for a couple 240g bullets using 80g and they estimate 1600-1700 fps. I would guess I'm in that range. Projectile did go through and through with no recovery of the boolit....

Thanks guys. It's nice when things fall into place, even if it takes a little luck!

So I decided to try out the Lee 452-230-TC in my muzzleloader this year. I've had good success with 44cal boolits in a sabot, so figured why not give it a whirl. Muzzleloader season opened for us...

I just did 1.5 tablespoons of tenderquick per lb of meat & about 3/4 tablespoon of brown sugar per pound with a little bit of black pepper. Just coat the meat with the salt/sugar and put in the...

Thanks! Hope you are able to connect with another one. Finally finished putting the last one in the freezer tonight. Did 10lbs of burger. Also I cured a ham for the first time this year. It cured for...

This year has been one of the best deer hunting seasons I've personally had. Although I struck out during bow season, I was able to connect with a doe during muzzle loader and 2 small bucks during...
Does anyone make replacement HP Pins for MP molds? I bought a 2 cavity 359-220-FN that was missing all the parts for the HP thinking I could get replacement parts. I can get most of the parts through...

Depending on which hand grinder you get, you can remove the handle and chuck the spindle in a cordless drill and run it on low speed for those morning you don't feel like cranking by hand.

I have had the bodum burr grinder for probably 10 years now. It has served me well from French press to espresso. I used to roast my own beans and do a French press everyday, but life got busy with...
Forum: Gas Checks
I would agree with this. I ordered some 22 from sage's (gator) and some from Bayou. Bayou took a month to deliver, but the checks are very nice and I'd say the internal dimensions on the cup are...

Just saw your location, small world. My dad grew up in Ewing & went to Thomas Walker. Used to spend 2 weeks every summer down there when I was a kid.

I've been running all my boolits in my rifles with gas checks. For the 350 legend, I'm sizing to .357. I also have a 35 whelen and I run those at .358. I took a deer last year with the Lee 358-200-rf...

Unfortunately I don't have any experience with the 450. I've had good luck with 50/50 in pretty much all my rifles in the range of 1400-2200fps.

Gas check. Alloy is 50/50 COWW/SOWW, GC, PC, sized to .357
Forum: Hunting with CB's
I ran 15 rds through with that boolit and all chambered and cycled just fine. I do have the MP 359-220 as well, but need some parts to get it operational again. May see what that one does for kicks...

I bought a BCA 350 Legend Upper a couple months ago to see what it could do. I've tried 3 different boolits at this point: Lee 358-200-RF, RCBS 25-250-SP, and NOE 360-230-RF. The Lee showed some...

I use Lee push through sizers. First pass takes it to .4595, then I switch to my .452 sizer. I made a mark on the push rod so I know where to stop. I push the boolit in just far enough to size the...

So I've been trying to get some meat for the freezer since bow season back in October. I've seen a handful of deer, but never could get a good shot. Season is quickly winding down here in Virginia...
