Bullet was designed for use with a gas check, you would have too much gas blow-by. One reason it fits well in a sabot.

Hi all, been awhile since I posted last been busy with other stuff. Nonetheless I mentioned last year about using this boolet in my inline ML. Got a chance to test it this morning and I'm satisfied...

I've had a Handi-rifle in 45-70 since 2014 when Ohio first went to straight wall cartridges and used the Hornady lever revolution ammo.
Now I have learned to download a bit and use the...

Gotta love those lever guns. It seems like you have a good one!

Haven't been there in quite a few years, but when I did it's always a fun day..

I'm doing the same, purchased a Lee 452-300 rf mold to try in the Savage muzzleloader. Tried the 452-255 rf with mediocre results. The 300g is the gas-check design and fits in the sabot better and i...

I have a Traditions Vortek ultralight, paid around 300 for it 5 or so years ago. I like it, it has the Cercoat finish on it with a black stock, even with a scope it’s light to carry.
Also have a...

I got a chance to do some testing this past week but got some mixed results. I tried 30g of 4759 and the Lee 452-255 rfn sized to .452 in a MMP hph -12 sabot, the tighter one, and this load didn't...

Sometimes I’ll have two different molds going, just so I don’t get bored, lol. Then I can get my timing down so the boolits don’t frost.

Same here, with my all weather side gate 45.

Ok I’m a cheapskate, I brought my Savage out of storage this past few weeks and shot a nice doe with it first day of our ml season. Yes I have a bit of BH 209 left but I’ll probably sit on it, saving...

I use it, and love it but they just priced themselves out of my reach. The last can i bought was maybe 8 years ago and i paid 30 bucks for a 10 oz can. Now it's 90 for an 8oz can, 80 at Cabela's ...

Same here, I use a lot of R7.

I bought this gun in 2009 and Savage listed it in the manual as one of their recommended powders, sadly it is no longer made.

Screwbolts, I happen to have some Harvester hard cast, 330g I think. I bought them a few years ago and shot from my Traditions vortek but didn't get satisfactory accuracy, so they went into a drawer....

Hi all, I'm looking at the Lee C452-300-Rf for use in said rifle. I shot a nice doe yesterday with the gun but used a Hornady 250g XTP (very destructive) and since the Lee boolit is a gas check...

Shooting from the bench I shoulder the gun normally with my left hand under the forend and my left hand resting on the rifle rest. This, to me simulates field hunting conditions. I usually hold the...

Shot a nice mature doe this morning with the Savage, book load of 42g of 4759 and Hornady 250g XTP. I know, not a cast boolit but haven't experimented with any out of this rifle yet...

Yes I shoot BH209 in my Traditions Vortek, the Savage I shot R7, some 4198 and 4759 that I still have a couple pounds of.
I brought it out of storage yesterday and going to take it to the range...

Wondering if anyone on this forum shoots one. I have one in stainless that I might be getting out of storage to use again, especially after the sticker shock of BH 209. I have about 9oz left and when...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Around here the weather is a crap shoot, below zero now with 20+mph winds, next Saturday calling for highs in the 50’s and rain ��. The following Saturday when our late season muzzle loader starts...

It's always exciting, even when we don't shoot an animal. I thank the Good Lord every time I set out.
I started to do a little load development with my Traditions Vortek using the Lee 452-255...

It actually started early on Thanksgiving day, I was in my stand with bow in hand and shortly after 7:30 I seen a small buck followed by a doe and the huge 10 point I was after following her. They...

I have the Noe 460-315 wfn sized to .459 and powder coated and intend on using it Monday. I used the Lee 457-340 last year and killed a nice deer with it. Recoil isn’t bad with either one.
