Thanks for the replies gents. Fitz I believe the fella still ships internationally. They were a famous maker here but I seem to remember they werent in business for some time, so must have re-opened...

Thanks, we can get bertram 12ga cases here, not sure on quality. I'm thinking there is a lot to learn, is there a resource for starting out on this? I was even thinking of using 3" heavy magnum...

Hi gents, looking to to run a heavy slug in a regular 12 gauge for the first time, maybe a decent bolt action or one of the rifled turk leverguns. In Australia we have zero shotgun powders left on...

I know some of the learned members here have done a range of rimmed conversions on ex-mil actions. I was considering getting a 444marlin done on a P14 I have. I know SMLE and others would be easier,...

Hi gents, for reduced loads in this powder, are you normally requiring fillers, dacron etc? Or does the reduced load ignite safely in a the bare case?

Hi fellas, not a cast question but thought someone here might have an idea on the following. wondered if its possible to get a big game bullet to .429 cal. Plan is to use in a long throated 444...

I sure did like his work. Contacted him a while back to make me one without the supressor. Emailed details back and forth for a month or two and was all lined up to start. Then he dropped off the...

Have one nearby(a sporterised 303 with the ears cut off and scope mounted) and was thinking about getting a smith to convert to 444 marlin. Heard the no.4 lee enfiield is a fairly simple conversion...

Hi Fellas, where I am (Australia)pistol powders are scarce. Some time ago I pulled bullets out of a lot of factory Remington UMC 38+P 125 SJHP as I like to load this bullet for subsonics.

Anyway,...

Hi Fellas, just wanted some advice on 44 mag brass. Getting into the calibre for a lever gun. I usually choose starline ( eg in 38sp, 357), cant remember why i started with it but I believe its a...

Fellas I came across one of these new and the specs say 1:16 twist, 20" barrel. I hadnt heard of this configuration before, was suprised it didnt have Marlins usual 1:38 twist( though maybe they...

I dont feel the need to use one at full power but to some its just another factory ammo pig gun. Be interested to know if there is a lot of warranty action occurring out there. Has anyone heard of...

Sorry not really a cast question but comparing it to cast principles.... I know cast bullets should be .001 or .002 over for good accuracy. But do jacketed bullets get accuracy with smaller...

Hi fellas, anyone know what the bores slug at for these and general quality? Looking at options for a good low powered cast bullet shooter, also some jacketed bullet use around 1200fps( which should...

Any opinions on these for cast and low powered jacketed loads fellas? Found one nearby for sale. I know the B92's were nicely finished guns, but also heard the twist in the 44 mag was 1:38 and the...

if the 480 ruger doesnt work out, I can upgrade to an elephant gun? Thats a heck of a plan B, I had to lol at that. :D

Some factory 480ruger starline brass came pretty marked up in the packet. Distributor said its sat on a shelf for over 10 years so maybe explains it. All 100 pieces the same , less marks found inside...

Thanks Fellas. The gunsmith will be doing all the work. He is a safari rifle guy but also puts pistol cartridges up to 500 S&W into bolt actions. He was interested to try his first 480 and so was I...

I guess I got the secret handshake wrong

Fellas Im a newb caster looking to set up for 480 ruger in a mauser bolt action. After low speeds, around 800-1000fps, whatever mixes work. Things are getting a bit scarce where I am but I found the...

All work with that bullet weight, as does red dot, tightgroup and others. Reason I asked is Im curious as to pressure differences between the three I have.

can anyone assist with some hypothetical data on lighter cast bullets 300-350 grains(any bullet type) with unique, win-231 and Universal to about 900fps from 4-5 inch barrel. Wondering about charge...

Thanks LAGS, Id never had exposure to them previously

Thanks for that opinion Texas by God. As to necking up WSSM wouldnt be a bad little wildcat, but Im after 480 ruger specifically for this one, and smaller charges of powder than a 1.6" 475 would...

Thanks 358429. Im not sure what the gains will be exactly. My 357's get up to 600fps but as I understand 44mag doesnt get quite the same gains in a long barrel. Maybe 350-400fps is reasonable gain...
