Dear friends, I am looking for information about historical bullets.

Yes, but this will make no good Bullets.

I Need a constant alloy.

1 Kilogramm of commercial alloy tin/antimony/copper will cost about 32 Euro.

Thank you!

Well, the Heat is Not the Main Problem, the hardness of the zinc Alloy is.

It will Ruin Lee Moulds nearly instantly, but RCBS and Lyman will suffer, too.

There is an expansive zinc alloy...

In Germany - Where I live - and eventually all over Europe a leadban is coming for all hunting Bullets and Shot.

They also want to change the seasons and make the sun to shine at Night to generate...

Dear Friends,

I´m a german "CB" hunter / shooter and would like to ask a question.

My favourite catridges are the 45-70 (Ruger N.1 and Marlin 1895) and the 9,3*74 R (Valmet 412).

I like to...

Great Gun - Great Catridge!!!!

I love the No. 1 a lot and would love to own a Ruger No. 3 but today everything that doesn´t look like a AR 15 doesn´t sell well ......

LOL!

I am a legal alien - I live in germany. That´s why I my english isn´t very good. Sorry about that!

Sorry for my late answer.

First of all: It´s no longer allowed to use lead or jacketed bullets in Governments Own Forest.

If you do and they get you, you will loose your license, get no new...

After all I found a german craftsman who will make custom mold - more or less in his past time because he is a "cast boolits fan", too.

He uses a special way of making molds by "erosion".

But I...

I live in germany - it would be a really big problem to order a z-hat rifle and bring them from america to germany ... all these, licences, stamps, fees, taxes.

We have only a very small number of...

The 416 Rigby is too high powered to use with cast bullets.

The 416 Aagard (I never heared of this catridge before) sounds great; good idea to neck up the 376 Steyr.

However the 416 Raptor is...

I think about a proven design like the Lyman 45-70 Don Shay Mould # 457643 but I am unsure if it would be wiser to use an Paul Matthews Design like 457677 because the rifle doesn´t use a tubular...

Thank you for your reply.

The rifle is a bolt action (Marlin XL 7) chambered for the 416 Raptor.

The 416 Raptor is an invention of an austrian custom gunmaker; this is a 30-06 opened up to...

Dear Ramson, I don´t speak proper english (sorry) but I worked with shotgun slugs from 1995 until about 2007 and ordered a lot of custom moulds.

The hollow base is no problem if the "wall" is...

Dear Friends,

I am looking for a rifle mould that pour a heavy bullet (about 420-450 Grains) for a 416 custom rifle.

This rifle is made for short range hunting in the woods so I want a heavy...

Why?

Because it´s a whole lot of fun!

We did it about ten years ago.

In my shooting club there was an retired ingeneur from Alcan Aluminium; they produce Alu and manufacture things.

We used iron moulds (lyman) and he had a special...

Dear Friends,

I load slug, buckshot and smallshot catridges for about 20 years.

But now I want to try something very new for the area where I live. No one I know tried such a thing ever.
...

Sorry!!! Thank you!!

As I just heard, LEE now offers a Buckshot Mould which will cast 18 bullets at once go.

Priced about 45 USD (+ handles) it´s inexpensive.

Does anybody own this item?

Is it worth the money?
...

Great pics, great PP boolits - but I wonder why the americans care for such an odd and old german chambering.

Berlin gunmaker´s Otto Bock did it in about 1903 for the german colonies in afrika.
...

If you want some it´s not a problem. At this moment the rifle is at the gunshop for mounting a scope.

As soon as I have it back I will post some pics.

Very important question!!

But: Yes, the TIKKA allows the correction of both barrels!!!

This is one of the most interesting design features of this gun.
