Close Trey,
.311 is between #1 Buck and #0 Buck. I've prolly cast over 10,000 of them and loaded a lot of them into 12 Ga 2-3/4 hulls. Pretty devastating at 30 yards or less and durned potent at...

If I had known 50 years ago how great it was to have grandchildren, I would have just skipped the kids and went straight to the grandkids!

Sincerest prayers from here. ANY surgery carries risk. Odds are good and in his favor.

Tell him to git busy and whoop that problem right NOW!

Good thread... I do NOT see how smoking a cigarette can be good for anyone. Having said that, I only recently stopped a 50 year long 3 pack (of non-filter) a day habit. The smell of my clothes...

Too much JUNK????

Surely you jest! :mrgreen:

Bob

Thank you George.

Love it.

Unique is the only powder that I can think of that you will be able to find loading info for anything and everything from .25acp through .30-06 and most shotshell loads.

Not my favorite powder for...

Good thinkin...

Cast iron or stainless steel are really my only choices.

The "roasting pans" are usually mild steel with a thin porcelain finish. I personally would not try it.

Some great information above. My ONLY disagreement - in my case only - is I never add Tin until I test the fill out attributes of the mix.

Most all COWWs and most range lead (cast) contain...

There used to be an aluminum re-processor named "American Aluminium". I worked for them in the late 1960's. They or one of their subsidiaries made wheel weights with the symbol "AL".

I think the...

imashooter2 gave about as good of an answer as there is. Lead pipe is not pure lead but close. Usually more so than stick-on wheel weights (which are a good source of soft lead).

Lead pipe...

Yes Jon,

Good idea and a few donuts or liquid refreshment keep a smile on his face.

But - to answer your question..

Linotype, monotype, or any other printing metals. (there are several others).

There is a story about how a villager in Africa killed an elephant with a .22 short. ----- could be.

My choice is .30/30 power level or above. It is NOT about whether you can kill'm with a .223 -...

Is this whatcha were lookin' for?

The ONLY scope I purchased because I wanted absolute quality was a 1976 Leupold markII? in 1x4 power. At 1 power it had fantastic light gathering ability and the...

For what it is worth... I will NOT fire ammo that is not known unadulterated commercial or that I reloaded myself.

That means no - NO - reloads from friends, from the range, from gunshows or from...

"MOSTLY" a bunch of us are good folk...:mrgreen: :veryconfu :mrgreen:

I'm not positive but several of the "mid-western" states are black powder, shotgun, or archery only large game hunting. Prolly population density reasoning.

Bob

Unless you already had pressure signs with 250 gr and the charge you have been using I would not even consider the difference.

Lyman's published data seems to be about as trouble free as any so...

Andrea,

I seldom speak this out but the ONLY power greater than a mother's love is God's.

It certainly appears that you have earned or are earning it.

Proud of you.

The lighter bullet leaves the barrel in a shorter length of time. So - if both loads have anyway near the same actual recoil, the lighter bullet is gone before the recoil has reached the maxim...

I love grits too! Girls Raised In The South!

:drinks:

Also, please remember that NO critter on the face of this earth will know how fast the projectile - cast OR jacketed was traveling when it missed them.

These old eyes see the kitty but the species is not quite familiar to me in the North American continent. Mexico maybe??

Bob

Thanks all,

I think the mirror coat is closest to what I was looking for.
