I certainly don't mean that Beck is the only one, nor that conservatives are more likely to act this way than liberals. They both do it, loud nasty yelling interrupting lying behavior seems to be the...

I had a Contender for over 20 years, barrels in 32-20, 7TCU, 6.5TCU, 30-30 and 30-30 Carbine. Probably others. I never got it to shoot cast bullets to average under 3" at 100 yards, although some...

While interested in the comments of the free-thinkers here, all of you seem to have missed the point(s).

I crimp NO cast bullet loads.
All loads have the OAL as great as possible.
It's funny that there can be such wide experience.
I'm going to make a last try with 457193 and 32/5744. That's faster...

I just can't get it to work There's so much unburned powder that the next cartridge jams, and I have to push a patch through between shots. Lyman's 48th love4s it, as do some posters. Is it me?

I should have mentioned that I shoot rifles. My pistols are a Striker in 308 Win, and a Competitor in 30 BR. If I shot revolvers or autoloaders, I'd buy cast or swaged lead bullets. I never could...

Absolutely correct. If the caster can't keep 99% of the bullets within +/-0.5 grain, he's doing something wrong. Based on records of 22,545 cast and weighed bullets.

2 cavity molds throw bullets with different average weights.
A 1 cavity mold or either of the cavities in a 2...

After reading the non-unanimous responses I'd better tell more.

Based on Mic Micpherson's table of case capacities the 303 British has about 96% the usable capacity of the 308 Win.
