These are the two cast bullets I'm having Tom at Accurate Moulds make for me. I think they'll be goo ones. I also ordered Nosler's 225 and 250 gr PT along with Hornady's 200 gr Spire Point...just to get things started. If this one doesn't arrive until late next week it may be a couple weeks...

:shock: I can't imagine what that must have felt like. The worse thing lately I've had to do for an upcoming arteriorgram last week was to give myself shots of Lovanox in the stomach twice a day. I always could take a needle but could never watch them insert it. Imagine the time I had doing...

Gee, I thought my problems were rough. Bless your heart. The only catheter I've ever had was murder when they pulled it out. I don't have to mention where it was. It felt like someone pulling a string of barbed wire. I've already made it known they're to NOT use those things when I go in for...

I'm still chewing on getting that motorized scooter but hopefully after the operation I won't need it so, I'll wait. This fellow not only offered to do this on his day off but for the past two weeks he's gotten my groceries for me. I call in a list and he brings them by. I can't go up and down...

Chomping at the bits to get her out for a trial run. The reloads are ready to go. I just have to wait until my friend decides which day he can go with me to tack up those targets. I feel rather bad I have to get someone to do that but if I want to shoot it's the only way I can until the...

Unfortunately, that's a no-no place for me. If you live in certain states in the south they won't do business with you for some reason...tried them before.

I snagged a pound of RL 15 about a month ago to use in another caliber. I'm glad I did as it seems one of the top powders to use with either jacketed or cast. I have three pounds of IMR 4064 also-may as well put that to use, also.

There seems to be a lot of love for the Whelen here...quite surprised. It's good to see this much interest in old cartridges. So many today(mostly the younger set) are enamored by the WSM cartridges and 1000 yard shots it's refreshing to see a different attitude.

Me too. :)

I'll be happy after that operation in a couple weeks just to be able to walk that 200 yards without pain...100 yards down to the frame and back. That would make me most happy.

I tried. :) It has a sling identical to the one I had on my custom 270 back n the early 70's. The fellow I talked with today said the photos didn't do the rifle justice. A K4 Weaver...Jack O'Connor would be well pleased.

That Mauser is a sweetheart, some of the nicest wood for that model I've seen. I can't wait to try it out next week. I've already got twenty rounds ready to go. The scope is a good one and looks good to boot. Once I get her bore sighted it generally doesn't take me but two shots to sight it in...

As soon as it gets here I'm going to slug the bore and order a mould from Tom of Accurate Moulds. I have thee of his, two in brass and one aluminum and they're superb. I'm going to get one cavity that mimics the RCBS 210 gr bullet and the other a 245 gr. That should give a little spice to...

I've thought of looking into a motorized scooter of some sort. Our range only goes to 200 yards but that's a heck of a long way looking at that target frame from the benches. Time was I could have ran that far. I remember in junior high school(9th grade IIRC) President Kennedy had a program gong...

At the recommendation and prompting of DrMike and a couple others, I succumbed to the lure of the 35 Whelen and bought a Remington Classic today. The first one I inquired about had a Burris 1 3/4 X 5 compact scope but, when I inquired about the scope he told me the front lens looked like someone...

Thanks to an old friend I may get to shoot it next week. I haven't been out to the range in three weeks and am getting most antsy. I can't walk the distance to the 100 yard target frame yet due to my leg/foot problem so, he's going with me and will do the leg work of tacking the targets up and...

I've got one pound of it. Today I finally got my two pounds of IMR 4064 I ordered over a month ago but down to one pound of 4350..

I missed a super nice 700 CDL by procrastinating. When I decided to jump for it, called and it had already been sold. I mean, it looked ANIB.

I don't want to crimp but, I've never had Redding dies with a crimp ring. I feel sure you can bypass that feature, though.

Redding doesn't even make a bushing die for it, just the standard die like RCBS. Kind of unusual Lee not making a collet die nor Redding the bushing die. I wonder if you can adjust the Redding seat die to not crimp with their crimp ring.
