Thanks again. That is a very good explanation. Off to the range I go!

Before I shoot loads that were calculated by the Quickload provided by P Flados (thanks)

The cautions question is, am I safe to try loads above the max in the loading manuals if I follow the data...

P Flados, I Really appreciate the great detailed data you provided. I have been working in the dark.

I have plenty of H4895 powder so your data is very helpful. Didn't realize these bullets could...

I plan to use H4895 for an accurate target load.

Am currently loading in the 20 - 21 gr range

thanks,

yes I have several Lyman manuals (cast as well) 158 gr and 165 are not listed there or on Hodgdon site.

ordered a real old lyman manual (1970) will look there.

appreciate your...

appreciate. Is the H4895 30 gr a starting load or just the recommended load?

thanks

Thanks RickinTN, I have been doing just that.

Hodgdon loads for a 160gr cast LFN are 17.5 - 21.0

For the SNS 158 gr I am starting with 20.2 - 20.6
For the heavier Chey-Cast 165 gr should I...

Hi, I have 2 cast bullets and can't not find load data. I am shooting these in my 336 marlin lever gun

I checked all my loading manuals for these two bullets

Hi, I am developing a load using a 149gr DEWC coated lead boolit for a 4" Python. I have both Tight group and Bullseye powders. I loaded a few with the bullet crimped in the top grove. This puts the...

Really appreciate this input.

Is there a go to furnace

Geeze you read my mind. This may be the first bullet.

What kind of lead to buy is still unclear as there appear to be so many alloys/mixes.

May start with finding the right molds to buy.

45...

I tried a few of the SWC bullets crimped, that I showed in my post. They will not feed, they hang up trying to go in chamber. Catch on the lip to bullet junction.

I ordered 250 grain RNFP bullets...

I will look into crimp requirements and also try a few dummy rounds

I just got a nice deal on a Henry in 45 LC.

I haven't loaded 45 LC before and the only cast coated 45 caliber bullets I have are .452 ACP SWC bullets (185 & 200 gr).

Chey cast 200 gr SWC and...

appreciate the response.
I have quite a few ACP bullets at .452

Hi, does someone know the correct bullet size for the current manufactured Uberti 45 Colt 1873 rifles. Is .452 correct?

Thank you for that info.

I did a plunk test and the round chambers good.

And yes I do have a kinetic puller.

I will try what I have loaded in both my Browing Hi-Power and my S&W 9mm revolver...

Yes you are correct. This is a 9mm Luger

thanks

Geeze ! 9mm

I have loaded some 9mm 124 grain coated LRN with 4 grains of Unique with CCI 500 primers. I would like some recommendations on COAL as this combo is not a published load in any manuals. I have them...

I have seen 13.5 posted for 160 grain lead and Lil Gun.
Hogdgon shows:

13.0 starting for a 180 gr jacketed bullet
13.8 starting for a 168 gr jacketed bullet
13.9 starting for a 150 gr...

I have some coated cast RNFP 158 grain bullets and Lil' Gun powder. Can anyone suggest a starting load for this combination in an AR15?

Hi

I have some COATED CAST RNFP 158 GRAIN bullets and Lil' Gun powder

I see H110 is often used for the blackout loads when using cast bullets.

I don't have this powder. I am looking for an...
