I’d love soo many options. 357, 30-30, 360 Buckhammer. At the price point they are at and the quality they have it would be tremendous.

Bergara barrels are on all the Scout rifles too. Pretty sure everything from CVA is bergara barrels

That’s the 350L I got too - the burnt bronze. It’s sure is pretty and shoots just as pretty.��

Sure hope more are coming. I should’ve pulled the trigger on 6.5 Gren or Creedmore. I’ll definitely be looking for more

Got to practice a lot after I get a good cast bullet load from the bench. Definitely going after a whitetail or hog with this…

I shot at 100 at steel plates. I’ve got from 8” down to 4”...

Picked up a Scout pistol in 350 Legend. Been wanting to try one and Midway had it on sale so I figured it was time. I know CVA discontinued making them and I can honestly say they need to crank them...

Thanks for replies. This is why I want a contender. Allows so many good options.

Looking to get into a contender. What’s the best cast bullet barrel to look for to deer hunt? 30-30? 44 mag? What’s your opinion?

Me too! Probably end up with one sometime in the near future

Anyone shoot the newer savage pistol? Thinking it might be a fun gun in 308 with some heavy cast bullets.

Who makes a 41 Mag? That’d be a fun gun.

No not micro groove. It’s of the Remlin era. Shoots pretty good now. Took my first buck with it last yr. Hoping #2 will be next week. Love hunting with the lever and iron sights. So much fun

I realize manufacturing tolerances will be what they are+/- .002 etc. My numbers above were my cast boolit size. My groove dimensions are +.002 (.433)on the Marlin and pretty much spot on in the...

What lever rifle bore diameter matches its pistol counterpart? I have a Marlin 1894 44mag and a Ruger Super RedHawk 44 mag. No way same cast boolits work in both. My Marlin takes .433/.434 while the...

WVMedic - I use range scrap lead with a little solder added to help fill out. I do air cool also. Hardness is 12-13 after casting. Air cool after powder coating also. On my gun I checked bore size...

Thanks guys. It truly was a great satisfaction casting my own bullets to take my deer. So much goes into this. Checking bore dimensions and doing a pound cast of chamber to get correct boolit size....

Nice job! This cast boolit addiction is fun. Congrats to you and your son!

Thanks for all the replies! Great day for sure.
The loading gate is the Ranger Point Precision anodized gold gate. Also added the quick takedown screw for lever and RPP trigger. It is a sweet...

Definitely hooked. Casting bullets and shooting iron sights is just an entire challenge all to itself. So much fun just to punch paper but then throwing in the hunt is a another level. There’s a lot...

Thanks! Exciting day for sure.
Learned so much from this site. Loads of great information and probably thousands of years of combined experience. Never would’ve got this accomplished so well without...

My first self cast boolit buck or deer actually. Marlin 1894 44 mag. Shooting 240 gr WFN powder coated with 20 gr of 2400. Fire sights on the rifle as my eyes aren’t good enough for brass bead. Shot...

I like the idea of making the target circles fit with the aperture. Definitely going to try that.
Shot today with the 30-06 practicing hunting shots. Sitting with a rest I could ring the 8 inch...

How many of you use scopes to develop a known good load and then remove the scope to use irons?

My plan is to take my first deer using bullets I cast with open sights.

One great advantage I have is I can go out my back door to shoot. On my range I can get 150 yd practice.
