I started with a 38-55 and after MUCH experimenting, went to a 40-65. I had a 45-70, but like the 40-65 rifles MUCH better. We have four now and my 13 year old ( a few months ago) tolerates the...
I have a Lyman mold for my 38-55 and it was dropping bullets too small.. I read somewhere on this forum about putting a screw in the base of a bullet and using valve grinding compound to coat the...

P.M. sent mac. I may try to deal you out of that mold! Send me a PM when you have time.

I have a new marlin 32-20 Cowboy Limited. Can someone give me their most accurate loads? I'm going to only shoot this gun in lever action silhouette and the maximun range is 100 yards. I've been...
I have a Lyman 375449 and it drops the bullets too small for my 38-55, no matter what alloy. Is there anyone that can machine the mold to drop a bigger diameter bullet? Say a 381?
I have recently purchased a 25-20 Marlin and it likes the 65 grain Lyman cast with GC. I have a melting pot and now need a mold. I've been looking at bullet sizer and the Lee custom sizer fee is only...

I shoot a 38-55 Marlin Cowboy , 260 grain hunter's supply bullet, and it's powered by Unique powder. Velocity is probably around 1100fps. These rounds will always take down the 200 yard ram and...

Thanks for the info! I don't know why I need one, but I want a 327 magnum in a 10 inch contender. My thoughts are that it would be great to have one cal. to shoot field pistol( with...
The 30-30 can probably do it....but just think how cool a 32 magnum would look loaded with a 165 grain BTSP bullet!! I think someone mentioned an article a few years ago in IHMSA news titled the 30...
I've read that the Thompson 32 magnum barrels are .308. Has anyone had experience building loads with heavy bullets, say a 165 grain hpbt? Should be a perfect case for a 30 cal. "Whisper type" round.

My 38-55 Marlin likes a Barne's origninal .377 255 jsp with a good load of H-322 for around 1800fps. I plan on using this load for elk in December. The gun will group at one inch, for the first two...

I recently made a garage sale and bought a few bags of #8 shot for just a couple of dollars. Can this be melted for bullet casting?

I'm new to bullet casting. Weeks ago I cast several bullets from a lee 358 mold and with almost pure lead. I tried to size them in a lee 358 sizer and they didn't seem to fill the sizer.
