  1. 357 bullet molds

    Thanks guys, I'm gonna keep reading and looking into it.

  2. 357 bullet molds

    Yea, my Dad taught me how to reload for deer hunting a while back and I would like my own set up to load 357's for cost savings. I saw casting as the ultimate savings. If nothing else, I need to at least get some of those 20-30 cent rounds going as you've mentioned. Probably not a bad idea to...

  3. 357 bullet molds

    Interesting Thanks for all the info guys, looks like I've got some more reading to do before I actually buy anything. I sure do like the way my 357's go BOOM when I pull the trigger. Just looking for a more affordable way to keep the fun going.

  4. 357 bullet molds

    Thanks for the info! I noticed quite a bit of muzzle flash with the 125's at the indoor range, and quite a lot of recoil! I'm guessing the 158's allow less flash to happen? I've read in the past how 158's or larger are recommended for the older k-frame 357 mag loads and I've seen how some of...

  5. 357 bullet molds

    English, lol. So, can I get it up to 1450 out of a 4" barrel without causing any of those problems? I have some Remington 357 125gr SJHP I bought at Walmart in the green/white box 100 round value pack. I really like how powerful they are when compared to the same Remington g/w 125gr SJHP 38...

  6. 357 bullet molds

    Thanks for the info. I guess running the cast 125's to high might lead to leading? I'm just getting the tools together at this point, will still have to read up on several things.

  7. 357 bullet molds

    Looking at getting some, have heard Lee aluminum molds are good, especially for someone just getting into casting (me). Just looking on Midway's website and didn't see any hollow point bullet molds. I'm wondering what you guys usually use? I'd like to have some flat nose 158's for hunting...

    Check this guy out... https://www.theoutdoorstrader.com/threads/fs-480-bisley.1771906/#post-8576988

  9. Which Chronograph?

    Thanks for the tip, will keep this in mind!

  10. Which Chronograph?

    Thanks for the suggestions and info, guys. I didn't realize there was that much to chronographs, glad I asked! Think I'll look into the competition electronics offerings since I'd only use it for verifying loads as mentioned and having fun with friends and family.

  11. Which Chronograph?

    Not trying to be funny, I don't really understand how 30fps messed up your load developments? Are you trickling small amounts of powder and looking for increases in velocity at that point? I have a 260 Remington model 7 that I want to get something going for, hopefully with a few different...

  12. Which Chronograph?

    I have a few Smith 3" or less revolvers I want to get readings for which is kinda keeping me on the fence about going ms vs regular. Looks awesome for a rifle as you mentioned. Easy set up as well.

  13. Which Chronograph?

    The "sporter" model magnetospeed sounds interesting to me. How much discrepancy did you notice in the velocities with regular light based Chronos? Were you getting totally different readings from session to session from the same gun & ammo combinations? How many fps differences? Thanks!

  14. Which Chronograph?

    Ahhh, ok, thanks! That's something I'll have to look into!

  15. Which Chronograph?

    Thinking about getting one to use with handguns and deer rifles. If it could read accurately between 500fps to 3000 fps that would be great. Any particular brands/models that you recommend? I just want to verify velocities of hand loads and compare different firearms against each other as...

  16. .308 Winchester 150, 180, 220-grain & 30-30 170-grain

    Which is why I'm a fan of gas operated shotguns, good choke tubes, and light loads! lol I reference this rifle recoil table a lot.. https://www.chuckhawks.com/recoil_table.htm And there's a shotgun recoil table as well.. https://www.chuckhawks.com/shotgun_recoil_table.htm I was also looking...

  17. .308 Winchester 150, 180, 220-grain & 30-30 170-grain

    Yea I think there's something about having a tougher, deeper medium to puncture, that may help to open up the bullet. With the less dense GA Whitetails the loss of hydrostatic shock paired with the size of the expanded projectile may equate to less than stellar performance and long blood...

  18. .308 Winchester 150, 180, 220-grain & 30-30 170-grain

    I just read a little more on the topic and it seems the twist rate of the rifle may determine the maximum bullet that can be used. Seems the 308 is usually offered in 1 in 10" twist and 1 in 12" twist and the shorter twist rates stabilizes the longer bullets better. Some of the information...

  19. .308 Winchester 150, 180, 220-grain & 30-30 170-grain

    Yea I've always liked to look into things and compare.

  20. .308 Winchester 150, 180, 220-grain & 30-30 170-grain

    I was thinking about 308's and decided I'd like to find out what the differences are between the loads mentioned, so I did a little figuring. Here's a comparison between the 150,180, and 220-grain .308 loadings in my reloading manual. For kicks, I threw in a 30-30 number at the end. The...
