Well... that wasn't the problem after all! I was shooting some GT Bullets 325gr FN through my rifle and it wasn't feed reliably. Then (after all this time) I realized it was because I was working...

No response to phone calls or emails (or written letters). I won't be using Western Bullet Company anymore...

Don't get me wrong, I know some cast bullet suppliers are behind - it's just there's nothing on Western Bullet Company's website about delays. I order from GT Bullets too and they are just now...

The phone number doesn't seem to work and no response to emails... guess I'll try sending a letter.
Five shots with the WST load at 25 yards. My eyes are not what they used to be!

I'll have to check my records but I think I used the above combo with 2.5 grains of N-310 - didn't see anything superior with it (different story in the .45 ACP!)

Was the Beretta Stampede made by Uberti? I've got some load data for those...
Seems like I've been trying forever to beat/match the Federal Gold Medal Match load... I think I may have finally done it! I've tried Bullseye, 231, N310 and 700-X but it was MAGIC when I tried WST!...

I ordered some bullets back in April and still haven't received my order, no response to my email either. I've never had problems with them before... did something happen?
Forum: Cast Boolits
I haven't tried a plain base bullet, but at these velocities I would go with a gascheck design!

I really like VZ grips, and the grips on my Wilson Combat Accu Comp are pretty nice too (but too dark)!
