I ran a ladder from 24 grains to 26 grains of IMR 3031 on 140 grain cast bullets in the AR15. The groups at the end tightened up vertically but not horizontally. I seemed to be getting right drift...

Same, I call it Indian butchering. Modern butchering only leaves bones in because they use band saws to make the job easier. Hang in the garage and bone out into meat lugs to the basement fridge and...

Well, I have never used case lube sizing before. I threw a bunch of bullets in my zip lock for case sizing and sprayed with case lube. Didn't work for first ten and now they are better. I guess lubes...

SO I have powder coated 9mm, 30-30 and 30.06 bullets and all the time I just shake and baked on a wire rack in the toaster oven. I was working toward a 6.8 SPC round and cast a bunch, water quench...

I got the 50 calibler and use 45 cal slugs in sabots out of it. I tried REAL's as i used on the other one with the old style deep rifling and they just stripped out. Maybe a harder lead or powder...

Previous lead bullet - .933 wide on largest spot - 252.44 grains
1/2 and 1/2 bullet - .807 widest spot - 257.72 grains

I just shot two last Thursday in early muzzleloader season. A buck and doe and the bullet on both entered the left side and stopped on the skin at the right side with no exit wound. I use the Lee...

There is also fishing for Redfish. Best time of year for it.

I have Lee, NOE and MP molds. I like them all and the latter two, obviously the best, because they are better. I have really been sold on the MP mold because Miha makes mostly brass molds, or at...

That big flat nose probably needs to be seat shorter than an OAL for a typical spire point bullet. The skinny tips go farther up the barrel. I get a empty case seat a bullet and chamber it, keep...

Square base 167.34 grain Base .2825
rounded base 166.8 grain Base .282 but I think it might not be a lot of base to fill the corners, the more I look at it.
They got culled.
Forum: Gas Checks
Well these will be for a 30-06 and like a saw a doe the other day on an access trail at 150 yards and didn't feel like taking that shot with the 30-30 and iron sites. Now the 06 and a Leopold scope,...
Forum: Gas Checks
Differing opinions. These will be seated and sized, powder coated and sized again. I think they should be on tight.
Forum: Gas Checks
Does the bullet on the left need to be culled, or will it work just fine once gas checked and powder coated? I am thinking with a gas check, I won't notice. Honestly, they are semi rounded them...
Forum: Hunting with CB's
I use 29 grains of 3031 with 183 grain flat nose gas checked bullets. WW lead and quenched and powder coated and quenched. Flat out surprised me at 100 yards vs Remi Core-lokts I always shot. Made...

Anyone shooting cast bullets out of one? My last gun I used 80 grains of 777 with a felt wad and 240 grain lee real on top of it and dead on. The same load and bullet is producing flyers and I can't...
Forum: Gas Checks
I put it on after and I can say it shoots fine but if you load any wrong the GC will not pull with the kinetic puller. I did some 30-30 naked and lubed and some powdercoated. The naked lubed where...

Remove me from this. I was able to order what I needed from MP and was not worried about this discount.

I swap Pietta's and never noticed not being able to hit the steel at 20 yards.

I think the paper is not tough enough to handle the rifling and the PRB and on the inline 9/16 wad and lee REAL makes the cartridge too wide and the powder fills the vacuum they make (width). I might...

I’ve taken such a liking to paper cartridges with the ball and wad in the 1858 revolver making my life easy. So I tried to do it two ways today for rifled muzzle loaders and it didn’t work.

I use 10 on my pistols and my CVA hawken manual said it was an 11, but 10's work on it and I ahve to pinch 11's to stay on during the hunt. Missed an 8 point one time when one fell of and I did not...

I use 777 in the inline that I setup for my daughter.
I use American Pioneer Powder as a sub for 3f in the revolvers as I don't have to worry about rust if I don't clean it right away or as good...

It is all good now. I casted another pint of 9mm bullets this morning to make more rounds. I was running over 700 and let it rest on the 2x3 for 20 or more seconds and never had any smearing again. I...
