I use two .45/70 molds for my .454 Freedom. The 325 RCBS and the Lyman 330 grain Gould hollow point. Sized down to .452 for the Freedom, they are accurate in both my Freedom .454 Casull and my .45...

I have that same RCBS mold. I load it in two different 10mm autos. I load it flush with the front edge of the band. I haven't had any trouble with it either in my Glock or my custom 1911.

Gas check boolits have far less lube in most designs than plain base, but whether it produce less smoke than a plain base, I haven't paid any attention. Powder coated bullets produce little to no...
I've never had any problems with it, either. And these are some of the most accurate cast bullet loads I've ever assembled for this particular rifle. And the lack of muzzle flash will be a benefit...
Thanks, I might just stay where I'm at. Shoots good there. And I have a pair of .358's also, I might use some of it there too, I usually shoot the RCBS 200 grain in those with Unique, for my lighter...
I have used 231 with the Lyman 452460 bullet for years
I load the 452460 Lyman 200 gr. SWC over 8.3 grains of Longshot in .45 Super brass. I shoot that load in 2 different guns, a 1911 with just a recoil spring change and on of the spring-loaded guide...
Ok, I know Blue Dot isn't the top end velocity king in .444, but I have a 16 1/2 " carbine (Marlin) that is showing promise, accuracy wise with the 280 grain Ranchdog bullet. And I have a bunch of...

Have a couple of .358 bolt guns. And several molds, including a Lyman 358009 280 grain, a Saeco 245 grain, and an RCBS 200. All three shoot very well through the Shilen barrels. I find that the RCBS...
I've used Blue Dot for decades in .357, 41 magnum, .44Magnum and warm loads in .45Colt. And 10mm, and some .45ACP revolver loads. Many thousands of rounds. I have never experienced any strange...

Stick with that RL7 load you have. I've burned a bunch of that powder in .45/70. And I use Felix lube on everything. I make a couple of bread loaf pans at a time.

Some of my friends here around the ranch wanted to "accustom" themselves to heavy recoil. So I had one of them find a NEF single shot, 12 gauge 3.5 inch magnum shot gun. Yes, they made them in 10...

I have 7 rifles in that caliber, and all the RCBS mold offerings, and all the Lee offerings, and a couple of the Lymans. The everyday bullet that kills everything we have to hunt here in Texas is the...
My RCBS .45 rifle molds all cast heavier than the stated weight with my alloy. The 300 casts 314, the 325 casts 350, the 405, 424, and the 500, 514. It's no big deal. Different alloys.

I have all of the RCBS molds, all of the Lee offerings, both Ranchdog 350 and 425 grain, two Lyman molds and a 525 grain NEI mold for my Browning BPCR. I have The only trouble i have had with any of...

I wouldn't bother with a hollow point mold in the .45/70, although I do have 2 molds in that caliber that have hollow points. If you are shooting 300 grain bullets now, I'd get the 300 grain gas...
I have a .35 Remington bolt action that I use 3.5 grains of titegroup with a hollowbase 148 grain wadcutter for a 25 yard squirrel load. It will tear 1 ragged hole at that distance and the poi is on...

I have removed the gascheck step in a Lee mold, and removed a bevel base from a Lee mold with an exacto knife. Both molds cast and made perfect bullets afterwards. Just use care, and any tiny...

I have 2 .358 rifles, One of the powders I use is Blc2, which is similar to cfe223. I've also used ww748, aa2520, and TAC in .358. All are similar to CFE223. I have some CFE223, and i wouldn't be...
The Lyman 429649 bullet weighs about 340 grains out of my alloy and my mold. It may be the single most accurate cast bullet I have ever used out of several .44 Magnums. I've used both 2400 and h110...
I have 2 custom barreled bolt guns in .358W, a 700 Rem and a 600 Rem. I have the RCBS 200 grain mold, the 250 grain Saeco mold and an original 358009 Lyman that casts about 287 grains out of my...

I've mixed powder of the same type quite a few times. Never had any issues.
