Here is a Winchester Arms 32-20 mold made in New Haven Conn. Have no idea as to it's age. No rust. Cast a perfect .311 112gr bullet from my scrap WW's. Mold is marked 115gr. No need to size. For...

Have been sizing 32-20 down to 25-20 for years. Use Redding form dies. Never the slightest problem. 25-20 cases forever.

If you want to loose weight & KEEP IT OFF: Stay away from dairy products, which are pure fat. Also flour products, like bread, donuts, bagels, cake, etc. Yes sugar. Take in no more than 3 to 4ozs of...

Just for comparison: Mt scrap wheel weight bullets register 13.5 BHN on my LBT hardness tester. In my 44 mag rifle, easily good for 1600fps with a gas check. Traditional size & lube or PC.

In my Marlin 94CL 25-20. I use the Lyman 65gr GC style. When cast from my scrap WW they come out at 73gr. I drive them about 1500fps & they are deadly accurate!!!. Heavier weights like the 86gr only...
SR 4756 is my powder of choice for several hand gun loads.Down to about 6lbs left. Will be sorely disappointed when it's gone.

Years ago Hodgon bought Winchester powder Company. They now own Accurate & RamLine powder Companies. Does this constitute a monopoly?
Forum: Cast Boolits
Have not tried using this bullet at over 100yds. Out of my 44 rifle , it is accurate to this range. Drop becomes a big factor after 75yds, in my experience.
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
To do it right & not loose cases , you need forming dies. I start with a Redding 25-20 forming die. Then thru a Redding 25-20 neck sizer die. Finally a 25-20 FL sizer. Rarely ever loose a case.
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
Be assured.. It works perfectly in my 308. This is Ramshot 308 loading info from long before Hodgon bought them out.
