Mr Thompson thank you for sharing your experience. This is incredibly helpful and gives me confidence that I am heading down the correct path with my bullet choice. I hadn’t considered the HP cast...

Yikes! That is what I am trying to avoid. Of the commercial casters out there, the most suitable bullets I’ve found for the 454 are a 320, 335, and 340 grain options ranging in BHN from 18-22, and...

Sorry, just saw your PM. Appreciate the message!

My first reaction is that he doesn’t need a 44 mag, he just needs an adequate 452 bullet. Probably anything would be better than the bullet he is using.

That one is always a great read. Thanks for sharing

Appreciate the response and insights. MBW does look like a very compelling option with their HT process.

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...

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...

As a bow hunter my brain is hard-wired to...

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
