    Wink RD's 265 44 Mag boolit

    Did ya know that if you put that Boolit in front of 21.0 grains of a H110 look-a-like that it would go through 9 milk jugs filled with water and disappear into ones backstop? It started veering to the right and left the last jug at about a 45 degree from the original bullet flight axis. and went into a hole left by 30-40 other cast 44 Boolits. Dang, I meant to recover it.

    Boolits from my alloy (mostly WWs, mine is about 14.5 bhn according to Lee) weigh 278 as cast and then I lube with FWFWL as I size to 0.431" and seat the GC.

    Oh and 19 and 21 grains of this powder behind that Boolit make a VERY small group out of a scoped 7.5" Redhawk at 25 and I hope to report soon what it does for bambi.

    My six banger is about 275 grains, with gas check and dip lubed the way RANCH DOG does his. I shoot it in assorted RUGER VAQUEROS/BISLEY VAQUEROS and adjustable sight siblings, so I don't load it very hot. It will do two or three touching at 25 yards, out of every cylinder full, if I do my part...and don't get antsy!...and just about any powder and power level.

    I just got notification the TLC 359 190 mould is in...unfortunately only a 2 cavity...and did a PAYPAL buy on it. That ought to be a kick ass boolit also. Our pal Michael (Ranch Dog) definitely knows how to design a high performance boolit.

    I also have the RD 265Gr for .44 Mag that I am going to use in my 1894 Marlin. But I still need to work up a load for it. I just got busy casting some of them. Tonight I put the first coat of LLA on them. And sometime in the morning I will dip for the second coat. And just a word on the LLA look up Lars here on the forum and get his XLox same stuff and much much did I say much cheaper and he is great to deal with as well.

    But I have found a good load that I have posted before. It is the RD350 Gr for my Marlin 45-70 GS. The bottom two are sight in and the top three I felt was good and left it there. These shots were done at 100 yards. The load is the RD350Gr with 52.0Gr of H-322 Rem Case and Fed 210 primer. I wanted it to shoot a bit high for a 130 to 135 yard point blank range.


    I do like my Marlins Marlin 1894 .357Mag/Marlin 1894SS .44 Mag/ Marlin 1895 GS 45-70
