Thank you. It’s an Accurate mold. They group as well as jacketed. Best mold I’ve ever owned. It throws bullets at .460”. I size to .459” with the gas check.

I’d like to see Ruger bring back the 22” barreled 1895, and don’t thread the dang muzzle.

Congratulations Dan!

I figured I was overthinking things again.

Outstanding!

They perform pretty much as a hard cast. They expand a little but penetrate very deep. I’ve never recovered one, but truthfully I haven’t used then on anything big enough to stress the bullet. They have been very accurate for me. To use them in 45-70 you have to use the LEE fcd. Also, from my...

It’s a sickness. It happpened gradually and piece by piece to me. I have a cheap $400 Remington 783. I added a 26” #5 Contour, 1:8 twist stainless X-Caliber barrel in 7mm Rem Mag, Timney trigger, PT&G AICS bottom metal and bolt head, Boyd’s French Walnut stock, bedded the action, and Duracoated...

Yes, the 300 Win Mag fires a .308 diameter bullet. Alaska is saying he likes the 200 grain, .308 diameter bullet, fired from his 300 Win Mag. I think the Hot Cor bullets are overlooked. They perform very well when impact velocities are 3000 fps or below. They are economical, and are very...

I think this is an excellent idea! This never crossed my mind but the cases would last forever in a 308 Win. Thanks, now I want to acquire Fury cases.

I have a random question about hard cast rounds after cleaning the rifle. After cleaning my 1895 in 45-70, I will put a little melted Carnauba Red bullet lube on a patch and run it through the cleaned barrel, then run a couple tight dry patches through the bore to make sure there is only a thin...

Thank you. Good information. I may have to work up a good hunting load.

I don’t take extended distance shots at game. It’s bowhunting ranges for me. I put one of the GD 230’s through both lungs of a Whitetail at 20 yards with exit 4-5 years ago. I agree though. If I were going for anything bigger or defense I would go with 255 grain hard casts.

I have a Springfield 1911 that I made 45 Super capable. I enjoy it very much. I Added a ported 6” barrel to a 5” slide. Added a recoil buffer and a heavier Wolf hammer, and went from the stock 16 lb to a 20 lb recoil spring. I’m getting 1239 fps with Underwood, 45 Super 230 grain Gold Dot loads...

Those are mules with horns!!

I faithfully use IMR 4831 in my 270 Win as well. Staball 6.5 is just about as good as the old IMR standby in my rifle, velocity and accuracy are great as well. Staball will also save you a few dollars over 4350, but both will serve you equally.
