These coyotes would qualify for what fur, fish and game used to classify I believe as western mountain heavies. ...would be great if I could get one for making ruffs. You should call around to a few tanneries , I bet you could find some good deals on damaged pelts or attend a fur sale and buy a few...

Another vote for the LBT, mine is going on it's 24th year.

A lead thermometer is pretty handy as well.

Anything you can do to stop the guess work when casting is a big plus.

One time in S. AZ in the Santa Rita MTNS I was up in Faber canyon on a game trail just below the rim rock, I saw a Golden Eagle coming down the canyon just a little below me that was being pestered by a Redtail hawk, I was watching them thinking it was pretty neat to see them from above instead of f...

There's a place in Antarctica that got down to over -128 in 1983. That's the world record. Siberia, Alaska and the Yukon have records of about -83.

A bit of trivia

At this years Cast Bullet Association bench rest national finals, the hunting rifle class (Hnt) was won with a .223 using 6 grs of Blue dot, that's 100 and 200 yrd shooting.

Nice way to spend a AZ winter day. I used to spend a lot of time stalking stock tanks in S AZ for ducks. Most of the time I left my dog at home and carried a telescoping fishing pole with a large top water lure to retrieve the ducks. I have shot just about every type of duck off those small tanks, f...

Thx Chuck, I'll give that a try. I'm not even sure it is the right punch for that bullet. I bought the top punch for the 383s but they are close in design. Perry Most any flat nose punch would work for that bullet. You can also file a slot where the set screw contact's the punch and get your float ...

Killed my first buck with a 340 in 30-30 when I was 11 years old, Florida Canyon, Santa Rita Mtns. My oldest brother made me gut it and drag it down the canyon to the truck by myself,while he continued on hunting, I remember him saying as he was walking a way " It's just a big rabbit" ----J

I was considering trying the Horn. 55 gr. SX bullet and if it shoots settle on that. I do worry that my hands will make me clumsy casting, sizing, and handling gas checks with these little bullets.

Bob, Yes indeed, the .22 Hornet can be a great cast bullet shooter. :D When I think about it, it's hard for me to believe that its been 26 years (!) ago when I first tried cast bullets in the .22 Hornet. I got pretty good results from the start and ended up using the same powder and charge that I d...

J35

The one thing I did not like about using cast bullets in the 22 Hornet was needing to bell the case mouth to accept them. Did you actually bell or expand? I use a M- die expander or a custom diameter of the same basic style for everything I cast for. Even when I use to load jacketed i used a M-die ...

The hornet is a wonderful cast bullet cartridge. That beautiful long neck has all the grease grooves protected both from powder below and dirt above. The case capacity is perfect for hurling a 60 grain bullet (which is what the .225462 casts up) to about 2200 fps which is deadly on jack rabbits or ...

Far as I know, piller, all chainsaws have pretty similar power-to-weight ratios these days.
