I hear that! I wanted a heavy for caliber upper and after a little research and coaxing from a buddy, decided on .458. Had I done a little more research, I would have seen the issues that have...

When i was younger we grew up casting boolits for two .45 TC Hawkens my father bought my brother and I for Christmas, age 10 or so. Hunting and camping were great time spent with him and learning the...
The swirls wont hurt, but they will wear out your hulls faster. I generally reload em about 10-12 times before I toss em.
