But in all seriousness, I've wanted a Ruger No 1 for a long time. It looks like you got a nice one!

That's basically what I was trying to say. Pretty much everyone except a few die hard holdouts and fence sitters have universally agreed this is the way... If what they're doing works for them, so...

I too prefer Keiths. But I've shot other molds with large meplats and they did very well. I'm not one to think that all large percentage meplat bullets will do well. I haven't shot the hammer...
This was exactly my experience with the 452-228-1R. I only bought a 2-cav mold probably 12-13 years ago. I ended up purchasing a 452-200-SWC in a 6cav about 4 years ago and haven't looked back. I...

Back when I was a kid, I'd go out to the ponds with my single-shot .22LR and shoot them off the logs. My grandfather always told me they ate all the fish. One pond in particular I could sit at all...

For real... Everyone keeps coming up with reasons not to do it. I get it you like doing what you're doing. But if you're doing it right none of those reasons really hold much water as far as I'm...

To the leading part,
I have a handgun caliber rifle (H&R in 7.62x25) that experiences pretty bad leading the first 4" of barrel with Carnuba Red and 4.5gr of Red Dot. Barrel is .310, bullets...

Anyone know if JES is willing to do Stub Jobs? I have a 12ga stub I'm looking at having a barrel fitted to at the very least, but probably also chambered, and drilled for rings/picatinny rail. ...

Wilco, I haven't used Missouri Bullets in a long time, but last I did they were mostly undersized, hard, and with crayon wax lube. Just a heads up. They were affordable though...

Yeah, prices of all alloys has gone through the roof. Look at what people are selling lead for in the S&S section. $2-3/lb if you're lucky. Spot on lead is currently at 0.98/lb USD as of the time...

My understanding is the magic number is 70% from an external ballistics perspective. That said, I've see larger metlaps do wonders. Look at the Hammer Molds. Basically a flying soup can. If it's...
