Thanks fellows! The alloy is co/ww and I was somewhat concerned because it looked like the sprue was broken off instead of being cut unlike the 50-50 mix of co/ww-lead that was a smooth cut. I will...

Before I waste primers and powder, tell me if the bases on these 457191 castings will cause inaccuracy. Thanks

Congratulations on your deer! Performance was exemplary so don't jump to conclusions and fix what isn't broke. Shoot a few more and find the pattern.

Petander, The Lyman 358156 is very accurate from my .358 Winchester and should work great in your .35 Remington if the simi wadcutter will feed.

Congrats to the pretty young lady! Better get a hickory stick about 3 feet long and 2" around. You'll need it to keep the boys away!

I haven't taken the time to work up a top load but, I'm loading 15 grains of Unique behind a Lyman 457191 for my Handirifle. Only shoots 3 MOA but, it's fine for my hunting area as I can't see more...

The first 2 deer I killed with cast were taken with Lyman 311466 pushed with 18.2 grains of IMR-4227 for 1724 fps out of my .300 Savage. First one was about 30 yards and he stumbled and trotted for...

I am getting 1953 fps with a 165 grain FN using 25 grains of WC-844 and 1878 fps using 28 grains of surplus 4895 and with slightly better accuracy. Clip on wheelweights and while I've not got a shot...

The first rifle I tried cast in was my 99G. Borrowed a friend's Lyman 311466 mold and used 18.2 grains of IMR-4227 for 1724 fps. I didn't know the velocity until years later when I got a chrono....

Nice buck and carbine! Thanks for the information on the Torges seat, I'll have to make one. Is that a rope or cable that goes around the tree? Thanks.
Forum: Hunting with CB's
Hammer bullets make a couple that looks like they will work in your .35, a 140 grain and 178 grain.

Condolences Cast10. I've walked that path too.

Most excellent Big Goose and thanks for taking us along on the adventure.

I'm just waiting for my buddy to set a price and don't want to appear too anxious!:) I think he's found something he wants so it shouldn't be much longer....hopefully.

Well done muskeg13! Reminds me of an 1989 hunting trip when we stopped in a gun shop in Alamosa and I slobbered all over an old Remington bolt action in .35 Winchester. I sure wanted that rifle but,...

The whole thing may be a nonissue. Several years ago, my caliper was lying on the bench and I spilled some very fine grain ball powder on it. I thought I got all of it off but, when using next it...

Over the chronograph 8 averaged 1794 fps, which is about all I want where I hunt, as my maximum range is less than 75 yards. My M.70 with it's longer barrel runs them at 1858 fps.
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
I have been using 4895 in my .358 pushing 35-200FN since 1986, first Hodgdon and now surplus. Settled on 40.5 grains in my bolt rifle but, found 37 grains to be the load in my BLR T/D. When shooting...

Well done cwtebay! Love the levers in .35 cal. and especially the older ones. I have been casting the Lyman 359318 HP (247 grains) for my .358 Winchester BLR and would like to shoot some deer with it...

Outstanding on collecting venison and rifle restoration! I have a friend that has a Model 64 rebored by JES to .375-55 and he told me a few weeks back he was thinking about selling and now I want it!...

Dave, tell your son for me that's very impressive! I've been hunting for over 60 years and missed a coyote a few weeks back not 50 yards from me. Even worse I didn't have the where-with-all to work...

Most excellent Silvercreek Farmer! Did either travel any distance from where shot?
