If you look up at the Cast Boolits logo you will see a pretty accurate depiction of the Wilbird bullet. I actually started a thread years ago about my results with this mold and Newtire threw in a...

Also I highly recommend the purchase of a Lyman M-die for this caliber. It just makes everything work easier.

9.3x62AL is dead on about the Remington 6 1/2 primers for the 32/20 they are the best in my loads. 5.5gr Unique 120gr, .314-120 RNFP Wilbird Group Buy and a 6 1/2 primer is fishing story accurate in...

I could not be more pleased with ones I have. Impeccable machining and surface finish. Also the .263" x .259 inch one has been the final piece of the puzzle in my years long battle with my 25/20...
Lyman 314299 sized .310in, 15 gr aa1680, rem 7 1/2 , 2.140in OAL. Under 1.5 MOA average for 5-5shot groups @ 100 meters out of my Daniel Defense barrel.

Nothing I have used compares to a 6oz Garland rawhide mallet. Non marring, non splintering. Seemingly willing to last forever. Made in the USA. I often wonder how I got along prior.

This isn't a poll it's a rant . If you were concerned about your safety you should have made an active effort to get you and yours out of his path rather than get in a shouting match with an armed...
In my .358 win Ruger Hawkeye 42grs of Win748 gives me 2000 fps with the RCBS 35-250-SP that weighs 262gr checked and lubed. 5 shot groups average under 1.5inches. I also have the Saeco 352 mould but...

Iron Sight in Oklahoma is the only place to get Redfield repair done in my opinion. I have never heard a good thing about ABO in Miami but I have heard a lot of horror stories. Like keeping your...

Sundog, Bwana Bob won't have to beagle that mold. It is the same design as the 32-170-FN ,it just casts at .325in. I would be honing that sizer to .323in though Bob.

Kahles has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Swarovski for some time now. It is sort of a Chevrolet to Swarovski's Cadillac kind of thing. I would also look at Zeiss. I think that their American...

Get a hold of New England Custom Gun Service(NECG). I pretty sure they provided this sight to Winchester.
I would be interested in a trade or purchase of a.315in 311284. PM me if interested.

Mike,
I have the exact same rifle and can highly recommend the Talley mounts I have a Leupold VxIII 2.5-8x mounted in. They are the perfect height, are solid as a vault and plain look good. ...

My understanding of ringing chambers is that it is caused by the pressure shock wave of the expanding powder gasses striking parallel to the bullet base. That it has nothing to due with fillers per...

Thanks for the replies guys. Gianni this the first 24V I have ever seen with a .357 Mag barrel. I paid a bit less than $600 for it. I was not up on current prices and thought this was a bit high. ...
