Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
You have received good advice. I will “pile on”, with Rickf1985…buy as much of the alloy as you can. I am old and have plenty of alloy and would buy another 2000 lbs of 92-2-6 at $1.50/lb. It...

Definitely worth trying. Thanks for the suggestion.

As I said a few posts ago…this is so sad…seeing believers arguing about something that does not matter.
Generations of believers have anticipated the return of Jesus. When that happens, do...

Good to hear it went well. Heal up and don’t push it. We are not 30 anymore.
Good post. With my many .38/.357 weapons, I faced the issue of what would the .327 do that would justify adding it?
In my old age, I have become a minimalist. It did not fit a need.
It is a...
You can believe the numbers or what people say. I am a numbers guy and old enough not to trust what people say.

Stuff like this is very frustrating. I had a .22 Hornet that would not shoot even with jacketed bullets. Bought it used and sold it for at a small loss. Was worth it to me to get rid of it.

JD,
No way it has 80% of the energy of a .357 and half the recoil. The laws of physics are tough to break.
Here is something for you to play with. Works with handguns and rifles.

If it hits just as hard or harder than caliber .XXX at one end, it will hit as hard or harder at the other end. There is no free lunch.
If a smaller caliber allows more rounds in a cylinder or...

My thought as well. Could never justify spending thousands to fire one or two shots. Something like P-dog towns or iguanas seems like a lot more fun.

You will need to "kick it up a notch" on those wasp loads.

Really wise advice.
As to the OP. I have been downsizing for the last 15 years. You eat the elephant one bite at a time. Still have more stuff to sell.
I used GunBroker, and sold...

Nothing faster than BE is used in 12 ga. In fact BE is not even listed for 12 ga loads today. There is some old BE data for light 12 loads…really old data.

OP, I sincerely apologize for the thread drift. At least I offered good advice about the question of hunting coyotes.
Buy the Hornady bullets and be happy.

I have a number of excellent custom molds NIB for that very reason (self sufficiency) and hope I never need to use them. Two molds for .223, two for .308 and one for .30/30. (I got rid of my...

I had an early one and like a fool sold it. I had bought it as a home defense gun for the lady I was partnered with at the time and she could not pull back the bolt. That was the only negative. ...

I saw in another thread you are looking at buying cast .22 bullets.
There is no advantage to shooting cast in a .223 unless you want to save less than $.05 a bullet and then you must cast them...
