Agree with all you stated, but I'm still wondering why all the different sized driving bands AND the funky base. Still looks like its prime to tie a big of powder onto the boolit. Insert the boolit...

Let em rip..... Should be no problem whatsoever.
And as far as the S&W bashers, I have two Model 29s from the 60's (S prefix guns). I hate the think how many tens of thousands of reloads of 22...

Interesting mold. Maybe someone knows something about it. Haven't cast with it yet so cant give you the diameter specs and the throw weight although its listed at 488 grains at the Three Peaks...

Can you feed an empty case? Load one in the clip. Release the slide using the slide release. If it hangs... find a reliable gunsmith. If need be.,... Cylider and Slide in Nebraska. Once they...

If anyone is interested in a mint 100% Model 71 Deluxe circa 1949 and unfired, I will part with one for the right money.

For any of you that are contemplating thinning down your collection, these are on my "hit list" to buy. All are Lyman/Ideal. Dont be sahful if you have one or more. Shoot me a PM and name your...

Shoot me a PM for everything you have left. Weight and price.

Our most popular boolit for the ,30-30 is the 311440. Reported accuracy is almost always less than 2 MOA which is more than adequate for 1 MOD (minute of deer).
Cast it 10 Bhn with a check.......

Mine measures 1:14. This makes sense as my .220 Swift also is 1:14 and Gosh knows Ruger wouldn't spend $1 extra to make a .220 Swift with a 1:9 or a 1:10 to stabilize heavier bullets.

I've got 20+ years of experience behind a gunshop counter with four degreed gunsmiths on staff.
Cheaper to just buy a new barrel. Gunsmith will have to mig or tig weld the holes, draw file the...

Aslong as the Bhn is 10+ (and that's predicated on the 1800fps).... really doesnt matter.
They only eat grass.

Bump one time and one time only. Dont mean to bother anyone, just want to share info if you have it.

Whoops.... typo on my part, sorry. 338301 225 grains with 20:1 and drops at .3365". maybe a candidate for the .333 OKH?
Any thoughts, gents?

Black bear + .357 with heavy boolits driven as fast as possible AND placed correctly = dead bear.
Grizzly + .357 with the above + a pair of Nike running shoes = exciting afternoon

Anyone casting/loading for this cartridge?
I'm very interested in what you have to say.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I would respectfully submit that it's WHERE you hit them, not what you hit them with. A non-HP 20:1 alloy of that caliber and weight going 1000-1200 fps at impact behind the shoulder, in the neck,...

This isn't a big deal. MtGun was right on the nose. WASH YOUR HANDS after handling WW, casting, reloading, or shooting at an indoor range. Especially do so before you put your big, greasy mitts on...
