    Wow, great resource guys. I finally learned to cast and have only loaded 158 gr .358 pistol bullets in my 38 special so far.

    Now I have cast and lubed some 124 9mm and some 150 .30 cal fn bullets and was searching for load data. I knew to come here first. I am so glad I found this site.

    Thanks

    Much of it was developed by members here.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    RCBS, lyman, and hodgdon cast data are all in there.

    Someone spent a lot of time on this and I am grateful for the effort.
    I notice that while looking at 30-30, 150 and 180 grain, all of the loads show up twice.
    Is it just me?

    probably not. Since the same load was often published in more than one source, it may well be listed more than once.

    Good evening;

    Thanks for all the work on castpics, but I do have one problem. I can't find any info on 7-30 Waters. I've used all the variations I can think of, and no joy at all.

    Suggestions?
