I've been loading 170-grain cast boolits over 7 gr of Bullseye for about 40 years. I use the same Ranch Dog mold I make hunting bullets from and simply don't gas check them. Accurate in my .30-30s...

Thanks Jim and Al. Molds received in A1 condition. Your work is appreciated.

The XLR is a very fine rifle. I have one in .444 Marlin and it is very well made, reliable and accurate. One of my favorite rifles.

I've been annealing the noses of cast lead boolits for over 25 years now and .357 Maximum's info is right on the money. I usually use 50/50 lead/ww to make the boolit from but on faster projectiles...

I shoot this bullet in my Marlins and my Winchesters. Very accurate and no problems to report. It is a very deadly bullet.

I have used the Ranch Dog 165 and the Saeco #316 and can attest for the marvelous qualities of both bullets. My Saeco mold casts a little large and I have used this bullet in the .303 British as...

PJ, your load sounds like a good one. I wouldn't sweat the alloy thing yet. I've cast and fired this boolit in 5 different .444's, in several different alloys, with outstanding accuracy. Your load...

I fell in love with the 6.5x55 over 30 years ago and have never regretted it. I currently own a dozen of them ranging from a 1896 Swedish Long Rifle to a Tikka Super Varminter, a modern target gun...

Right! I used the Lee 310 for over two decades as my go to bullet in the .444. I've switched to the Ranch Dog because it gives excellent performance, is a tad more accurate and has all the crimp...

Rapture...joy! It finally arrived in Kanuckistan and it's beautiful. Thank you Beerd for doing this.

I've been playing with the Saeco 150 gr for the last year. It's a flatpoint .30-30 bullet that casts fat. I use water quenched WW, anneal the noses to make 'em soft, size it .313" and load over 25...

Still waiting for the mailman to bring me mine. Canada Post is sooooo slow...

Got my mold here in Kanuckistan yesterday. Thank you again Jim. As is usual from NOE, the mold is beautiful. Thanks Al. I cast up some boolits and they came out great as expected. I'm still...

I would also recommend the Tikka very highly. I have several and aside from their beautiful triggers, they are as accurate as can be. My Tikka Super Varminter in 6.5x55mm is a quarter inch gun...

Been using 7 gr of Bullseye under a 170 for many years. Very accurate and very quiet.

I've been getting great results from 47 gr of IMR-4831 under a 140 j-bullet for many years. Accurate in most guns. You can use 45 gr of IMR-4350 to get to the same velocities. A real winner that...

Aaron, like 6pt-sika, I have been casting for the .444 for many years. The Lee 310 bullet is a very good one and is devastating on game. The .444 microgroove barrels will shoot this bullet very...

Yep. 33.0 gr / IMR-3031 / 170 gr Ranch Dog cast bullet for 2300 fps and great accuracy.

I confess to being a little surprised at the vitriol the Mini-30 is subject to. I've owned a stainless one for over a decade and have found it to be an adequately accurate, delightful little rifle. ...

Me too! I load the .444 exclusively with cast bullets now ranging from a 200 gr at 1400 fps to a 350 loaded to the gills for 2000 fps. A real nice deer load is the Ranch Dog 265 or 300 at around...

What alloy?

Got mine today, also in Kanuckistan. Thanks Jim and Swede, she's a beauty and well worth the wait.

I got mine! Have a .358 BLR too. Both are fine rifles but you can get the BLR today. It is superbly accurate and no step down from the 99, except in nostalgia.

I have been shooting the 245 Saeco bullet as well and have been getting very good accuracy from it. I am slowly working the load up and am currently at 32 gr IMR-3031. I have experienced no...

Here in Ontario we have LOTS of bears and some of them are big and mean. 600 pound bears are not uncommon and I know one guide who killed five bears over 500 pounds in one season. Lots have been...
