    I have searched for a Waltz die with no success, but did find a phone number for Mr Waltz.

    New set of Vortex 6X's

    I have a nice pair of 8X42s that I bought years ago and use hunting from permanent box blinds on a Minn. grain farm. However I find them to large, heavy and too much magnification for hunting from...

    My 2022 deer season ended yesterday with my second yearling doe hanging in the equipment shed. Both were pass thru shots at maybe 45 yards - no boolits recovered. One shot kills with neither doe...

    Tried the .310 sizing at 23 gr of 2200 this A.M.. cases showed no head expansion, however, accuracy degraded significantly - more like a buckshot pattern. A quick swab with a tight patch showed some...

    I worked up to 23 grains in small numbers of .25 grain increments with new unfired brass, being sure to measure case length, case head diameter and closely inspecting primers before and after firing....

    As a continuation, I loaded up five new pieces of PPU brass with Intel6's AA2200 load with fed 210 primers and moderate crimp to get a look at a slightly longer range. I made sure to mic the case...

    WHOA MULE!

    After my post above, I had second thoughts. I went to the shop, retorqued my scope mounts and stock bolts, gave the barrel a thorough scrubbing and decided to try INTEL6's 2200 load....

    Since my last post I tried loading this bullet over AA5744 with abysmal results! Partially the result of a scope ring issue, but a dead end alley none the less. Also noted that the gas checks I used...

    Thanks Intel6

    The only load data I have for this particular boolit is the "load note" matrix originated by "Ranchdog" - the designer of this mould. I am unsure how he arrived at this data.

    His...

    Thanks Larry

    I tested mine this A.M. and find them in the 18-19 BNH range. These were water quenched at casting. I will try annealing a few by heating to around 450 and air cooling to see if they...

    Thanks!
    I just ordered a hollow pointer for my trimmer, so will be giving that a try. Do you or Larry Gibson know what hardness your boolits are coming out? I know brine number is not the whole...

    I have a NOE 225-45-WFN mold I used to cast for my Hornet and .222. I had plans to hollow point with a Forster set up, but never got to it. I found that these WFN boolits will not feed from either my...
