Not a lot of feedback so I will ask a different question... is Hardball Alloy (6% Antimony) at 16-18 BHN suitable for my purposes outlined above? OR... is this going to be too brittle on big bone...

Planning a trip to Africa for plains game (Eland/Kudu/Wildebeest). Right now Id like to use cast bullets in both my 454 and 500 JRH. I’m thinking 320 WFN @1500 fps and 380-400 LFN @ 1400 fps. ...

Lar45, I am heading to the range tomorrow for another ladder test. This time it will be with the Montana Bullet works 350 WFNGC at 22,23,24,and 24.5 grains of A2400. My starting point a few weeks...

Lar45, that is exactly what I was hoping someone would provide. Much much appreciated sir!

Have a BFR 500 JRH on the way. Plan is to have Accurate cut a 325 grain gas check mold for a BIG meplat that I can run with 16 BHN Hardball. Penetration deep enough to get through pigs easily but...

Appreciate all the responses guys. I have my mold spec’ed out and designed but I have not heard back from any of the 6 (yes 6) mold companies that I submitted my design to. The design is a 270-280...

Appreciate the responses and PMs. Right now I’m contemplating what to do about 475 loads so I haven’t decided on a direction yet. At this point I was just wondering if anyone offered that as a...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Lets say I want a specific bullet that is not available on the market currently but the mold is available for purchase from someone like Accurate Molds.
Maybe a dumb question... Can I buy the...

Really good info here, much appreciated. Yeah i was surprised when i shot my deer how little blood there was. The hide had a .45ish sized hole but the front quarter was over an inch. Im guessing...

The mechanical broadhead analogy is an interesting one and makes a lot of sense to me.

Cherokee, appreciate the insights and wisdom. Sounds like you might hunt out toward my neck of the woods, where abouts?
I have been looking hard at those Swift A Frames but can’t find any in 265...

Lucky enough to knock down a cull buck this evening. Shot was 24 yards, he ran about 15 yards and I heard him drop. The wound in the front quarter was big enough to stick my...

I know this topic is a dead horse that has been thoroughly beaten but I do have some questions that I could not find answers to.
I am strictly interested in the hunting performance on game aspect,...

Going to send in my FA83 to get the barrel switched out from a 6" to a 10". For typical Tier II 45 colt loads, is 2400 still a good powder to use or should I go with a slower burn rate? Will the...

Yeah that’s was kinda my question too
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Has anyone ever done this with the RCBS Dies? I have some Wadcutter and OWC bullets with meplats that do not fit inside of the normal 45 colt seating stem.
1) Will I have an issue loading...
Forum: Hunting with CB's
Really appreciate the responses and feedback from you guys. I think I am going to work up to 17-18 grains of 2400 on my next batch. I have some of Matt’s Bullets in 250 grain full wadcutter and the...

I have been bitten by the bug for sure. What a great sport. I’m a long time Bowhunter and love getting close to animals. Out here in west Texas the terrain is more conducive to handguns than bows....
Forum: Hunting with CB's
Yeah I had the same question. All this talk of deep penetration and large wound channels from large meplats… not from what I saw. You can see the entrance wound in the first picture. .452 caliber...
