WTB 45-70 once-fired brass. Looking for about 50-100 depending on price. TIA

Hi All, looking to buy some 30-06 and/or 30-30 once-fired brass to feed our 336Y and M1 Garand. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for that mold. Can't find one readily available at the moment. Was thinking of starting with the 150gr Flat and 43gr of 4895 to see how they do.

Hi All, I have a CMP Garand for which I'd like to begin reloading w/cast. Has anyone tried using either the Lee 150 (C309-150F) or Lee 170 (C309-170F) for the Garand? We have these already for...

That sounds good, what's the mold specs?

I'm going ahead and ordering the .575 RB to experiment a bit. Won't hurt to give it a shot, and it's inexpensive.... but will still be interested in...

Thanks, yes I've seen a lot of reference to the Lee .575 RB for the 20 gauge. I may end up going that route. Wanted to give a try on getting a more traditional slug if one was out there...mostly...

Hoping to find something that can be used with our existing components - AA hulls, WAA20 wads, etc. Plan is to get a decent slug for my son to hunt wild boar with me (from stand) at our property,...

Last big bucket I bought was $20 and it was MUCH more zinc and steel than I've had before. I imagine the % lead was around 35% or so. It yielded about 60lbs of alloy.

I snagged some Remington LRP's from Midway last Thursday and received them today. I don't believe I can post an external URL on the forum but am mailing you my little "secret" which really isn't...

Local Academy had 9mm, 38spc, 9mm Mak, 45, and 7.62x39 yesterday at lunch time. No rush on it, either. 3 box limit. No .22 though.

You must have had a 70%+ off coupon for that. Well done and congratulations!

I just did this a couple days ago to the extent shown in Dutchman's post. The youtube video was pretty easy to follow. I would not even attempt taking the trigger group apart!

I wish I could find a mould in stock to feed this thing. Love it so far!

OK, that's what I do with the rest of my boolits and I like it. But...if the boolit for the Lee mold drops at .457, and my bore is slugged at .458....?

I am considering his single-cavity 460-405 for my new guide gun....

Sorry for the confusion, yes it is a Marlin Guide Gun (45-70). 1895G to be specific. It is a new one. It has ballard-cut rifling.

My dilemma is as follows....I slugged the barrel and found...

Thanks to both of you. Will check it out. Have heard good things about the Ranch Dog GC molds as well....however I recognize the gent's shop is closed. Do either of you have experience with the...

By that I mean "plinking" and also hog hunting/perhaps other aminals....

Would the Lee 457-405 serve me well in this role? Price is right... Or, should I be looking at another boolit weight/mfg...

Picked it up this afternoon. I'm very pleased, overall. The one I got was the display model (all that was left). The wood to metal fit on it is not what I'd call ideal, so I'll be sending it in...

Although I have no idea about this rifle's value, I agree with photog. Do what makes you happy for your gun. Did you buy it for collector's purposes, or to use it? I refinished an 8mm Mauser...

Thanks folks, that's exactly the push towards the Marlin I needed. I was lured in on the Rossi a bit by the cost delta as well as the similar fit and finish. Was thinking those dollars could go...

I am about to purchase a new 45-70 rifle for hog hunting in East Texas. I am torn between the 1895 Guide Gun (blued) and the Rossi Rio Grande. I have researched the Marlins, or "Remlins" as they...

Just promise not to weigh powder charges at 1:30am after falling asleep at the computer!

This is not exclusively related to casting, but I'm in the process of cleaning out the garage and prepping it (exhaustively) for an epoxy floor. I'm going to do it myself.

I realize that no...

This is great info - I made some statements based upon my knowledge of vaporization of metals in general, but your experience is eye-opening. Thanks for your "in practice" statements that certainly...
