Heads up for all the powder starved

Powder Valley has Several IMR powders available plus a couple of Winchester brands.

I got 16 lbs each of 748 (150 per 8 lbs) and 700-x (123 per 8 lbs). The...

If you are worried about the head space, partially resize your case. Back off the resizing die until the case just barely chambers. Load up a few rounds at this setting and see if the light hammer...

Lyman # 2 mixed 50/50 with pure lead gives you 95-2.5-2.5 Lead - tin - antimony and has worked very well for me in 357 carbine and max revolver loads.

I also have some Radio Isotope transport lead...

Well I hope you guys that are short remember this feeling of being with out! This current shortage will pass at some point, when that happens and everything is back in stock, it is time to stock up!...

I will confirm it is too long for the N frames using 357 mag brass. I just use 2400 and 38 special brass. Works like a champ.

That was going to be my suggestion as well

I developed my 2150 FPS load with Lyman # 2 and then switched to 95-2.5-2.5 radiation ingot lead. There was no drop in performance and this will be my deer hunting alloy. The Lyman # 2 was for load...

2400 is much better than 296/110 if you want to back off of the max loads and still use the same powder. 16-17-18 grs of 2400 will give you a powerful load that is not Maximum.

Leave the ball...

Remember, cast bullets of the same weight have less friction than the jacketed bullets. You are generally safe using 158 gr jacketed data for 158gr lead bullets.

Use the jacketed load data and...

Bore Snake all the way! Once you use one you will never go back!

I use two, one to do the wet work and one to dry the bore.

Got my first deer in Louisiana in what is now known as the Bayou Cocodrie Federal National wildlife Refuge. At the time in 1969 it was the Reeve's camp. Used a Ruger 44 Carbine and shot him at 30yds....

For the Fast Fire III you can change the battery out without affecting zero, not so on the Fast fire II. I have yet to change out the battery and have one on my M1 Garand that is 1.5 years in...

JIM, my load is as follows:

Fed. Cases
Win 748 powder @ 34 grs
CCI-250 LRM Primer
NOE-311-165 bullet with Carnuba Red lube and Lyman Gas Check
Lee Factory Crimp @ medium to small crimp

I...

Jerry, what is the difference from the NOE versin of the Keith bullet?

Thanks

Hank

Thanks guys, besides the rifle, this isotope alloy is working very well in my magnum revolvers, and I mix 50% soft range lead in for my low speed revolver rounds. I will give the softer mix a try and...

With the radiation the meat is ready for "Long Life " packaging right after the shot! Dont have to waste freezer space!:lol:

Hi guys, I have decided to shoot some deer and hogs with cast boolits out of my 30-30 this year.

I have developed a load that shoots very well in my Winchester 1957 era Mod 94. (2 to 2.5 inches...

I have always felt that the Leupold 1.5 x 5 scope was the best looking and functional scope on the 336 frame. It also gives a large amount of eye relief for fast use in thick cover.

After much reading on this site, I decided that the 30-30 was going to be my first cartridge used for rifle bullet casting and the mold was going to be NOE 311-165. All this reading of previous posts...

A S&W Mod 27 or 28 in 6" BBL length, loaded with NOE or Mia's 180 gr Flat Nosed bullet on top of a heavy charge of slow powder (H-110 or 2400) will give you plenty of revolver power. If you need...

Jim, I used the Data from Ranch dogs web site. 2400, H-110, 296, and Li'l Gun.

The 2400 did ok, but the ball powders did better in accuracy.

It was a toss up between the 3 ball powders, all...

Well if every one is telling the "I can't believeeeee I just did that!" stories, here is mine.

I have been casting since 1970 or so, and thought I had the bases covered. Wore my gloves, long sleve...

Great company and my main source of primers and powder.

I am with Blammer! What ever is the best shot for the situation. My prefered shot is a sholder shot. If at an extreme angle I want the bullet to exit or enter where the neck meets the shoulder. This...
