As an old pistol shooter....don't reload an upside down hollow based wadcutter very fast.....It can blow a hole through the center of the slug and lodge in the barrel somewhere and the next one will hit it and RING THE BARREL......caution with one.afish4570

What calibre is the BLR and what style bullet or brand of ammo did you shoot....afish4570 :roll: :roll: 358 Winchester, Remington Core-Lokt 200 SP over 48 grains of 3031, WLR primer. Same load I shoot in my other 358 Wins. I use the same bullet in my 356 Win. Model 94 with less powder chronoed at 2...

My first exposure to handloading was at my dad's elbow in the 1960s. He CAST his own jacketed revolver bullets in .357 and .44. His process was unique enough that he got it patented (but sadly never brought it to market). He used copper half jackets and zinc base washers to cast pure lead bullets t...

You might try 150 gr. or more cast bullets, home brewed or store boughten. Single loaded hollow based WC loaded hollow base up with a light chg. of bullseye might me neat...Let us know. So that cases don't shrink you can load a light load or two and then switch to a full power load with that case......

Huntington in Calif. has 30 Rem brass (usually) You might get 100 rds and run them through a 32 Spec. die and get her shooting. Never did it but done similar stuff and it should be an easy source of brass. afish4570

356 Win. great for cast bullets and terrific with 200gr. RN.....shoots an honest 2330fps and cast bullets around 2000ish, haven't pushed them any harder.Nothing like a flat traditional 94....afish4570

Nice plane.....to say the least. Is there one on the deck on the CVA Intrepid down in NYC??? Might have seen one at the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Wright Patterson Base if I remember correctly. This free museum is a MUST SEE IF YOU ARE IN OR PASSING BY THE AREA. afish4570

Usually an ok local show in a bldg. alittle bigger than a high school gym.......Was solid people. Never went to a show that crowded. Didn't hear the huge sucking sound of stuff selling quickly off the dealers tables. Prices were high but the dealers had a good variety of stuff for sale if you needed...

With the high costs of gas and lack of small game due to the hawks & owls in the sky and the coyotes & bobcats (&mountain lions that the state says aren't there)on the ground. You can blame the predators for the decrease in same game and causing the deer to run into the developements for...

I could only dream of Levergun in 35 Whelen......My 356 Win is an acceptable compromise and due to the rimmed design is great for a cast bullet gun.afish4570

If the handloaders use the newly available 35 cal. Leveroution.....bullets and they get good press, maybe the 356 will go from cult status to a production again???? The cast bullet is right at home in the 356, I use the RCBS 200gr FP and am wondering bout the Lee mold discontinued, TL359 190RF, anyo...

afish4570

Pillar, contrary to most peoples belief the 356 and 35 Rem. are fairly mild in the recoil dept. compared to 3006's especially with the 180 gr. load. I think less meat is lost on the smaller deer cause the bullets don't react as explosively. However the penetration,trajectory and knockdown power are ...

afish4570

C.Cash thanks for your input. I too have a RCBS 200 gr. FP mold and love it...Just thought I'd experiment with the bigger meplat bullet. Sounds like it would be a good hunting bullet for HR & TC singleshots in 35 Rem. or 357 Max!!! Feeding and deep seating problems solved.afish4570

afish4570

Love my 356 Win Model 94, Marlin, Mossberg would do well to make a run of these....handloaded with the newly available 35 cal Leveroution (sp) 200 gr. they would make a great hog and deer gun . I chrono my 200 gr. RN bullets at 2330fps. Love it...afish4570

afish4570

Lee mold translates to a tumblelube 190 gr. flat point.....been discontinued but wondering if it is any good for my 356 Win and possibly in a 357 Marlin microgrove if the bullet will feed. Looks like a real big meplat for a hunting bullet. Anyone ever used this one???afis4570

afish4570

forgive me....but what is BTT??The old one. afish4570

afish4570

Hope Mossberg gets the bugs out of the Model 464......It would be great if they would make a run of 356Win. and 307. With the recent announcement that the Hornady bullets will be avail to reloaders in 30,35,4570 etc. should even make the old 356 into 225 yrd rifles....afish4570

afish4570

My 356Win 94 is just a sweetie. The Ruger #3 SS (sort of a lever gun) in 4570 loaded to Ruger only handloads is unbelievable..On both ends.Would like to see Mossberg bring out a 356 or 307 special run and see how they are snapped up. The 356's are achieving cult status. My 356 loaded to 2330fps with...

For wiping the exterior of all my guns I use a piece of lambs wool (buffing bonnet) with RIG(Rust Inhibiting Grease) I bought mine from Midway several years ago after my supply had run out. A one pound can costs around $8.00 and lasts for many years.The inside of a barrel can be swabbed out with a l...

The driver who shot first was shooting into the ravine a bout to take his 2nd shoot when he saw her in his scope doing a complete flip.

Shot my first coyote while deer hunting. I was on watch when a driver hollered and shot her going up a ravine after being creased from the drivers shot. She was bout 90 to 100 yrds. away. My SS Ruger 4570 with a hot loaded 300 gr. JHP chronoed at 2330 fps. stopped her deer eating career...afish4570 ...

Brought back alot of memories of my younger days hunting in a similar setup. We had an old 1946 or 7 sort Ford bus (slept 8) and two old step in Divco Milk Trucks (home delivery type) drug into a U set up.

Shot alot of 200 gr. Remington RN bought several years ago on sale a Midway in my 356. Chrono at 2330fps. using 3031 powderTook two deer with this load and really hits hard. I have a box of the 220 FN but not tried them. Perhaps for elk they might be necessary. I loaded these 200 gr. loads to alittl...

Forty seven years ago I shot my 1st buck (and red deer) around the hot springs area around Lake Taupo...Back in my Navy days on an Antartric Deepfreeze Cruise. I used a borrowed 303 Mark 1 with a stock barrel, 25" even in the thick stuff no problem. For years I used a 12 ga. 28" barrel mod...

AMERC ammo....never used the factory loaded....but reloaded some and found the 45 ACP primer pockets were too large. Had the primers fall out in magazine or while feeding into chamber.I now inspect my range pickups and these go into scrap pail. Alot of local shooters are switching to 40 S&W's an...

When it comes to shooting its nice to shoot long barreled guns. Years ago I discovered this with old bolt military surplus guns....its quieter and keeps the muzzle blast further from your ears and gives you max velocity too...Welcome to the long barrel clan. I could never figure out that the same pe...

Is that for one handed bullseye type shooting or 2 handed combat style pistol shooting????afish4570

Love mine, shot 2 nice deer over the years with stout load of 3031 and Rem. 200gr SP, chrono at 2330fps. and play with the cast boolit, RCBS 200 gr. FP.Both loads accurate and plenty powerful.....afish4570.

Oh!Mccann is an ex Marine too. Really tests what he recommends and gives you the sources, price comparisons and reason why he likes or dislikes whatever he is talking about.

Some of us began quite humbly. I started with a Model 425 Coleman gasoline (white gas and now using Cole.fuel), a lyman ladel, lead pot and round ball single cavity mold......

I like the little gun shops and gun shows run by the little guys. More personal and better prices for normal hunting type guns....shooteers.Just my experience.afish4570

That auction has some really neat stuff....lookin at not shootin stuff. Pretty soon Model 94 AE in 375,356 & 307 will be in the same price range....Looked at Gun Brokers today & gave up quicker than usual. Markets out of control & maybe buying a Marlin 308 isn't as crazy as it sounds.......

First I know that I can't duplicate the factory ammo performance and secondly I too cheap and poor to be actively shooting the factory stuff.
