Looking at a lighter bullet for the Win 94 In 375 Win. The 375449 shoots well but is awful heavy and gives more recoil than I prefer when shot over 1500 fps.
Lots of discussion with Tom will happen first, he seems to have a fair bit of experience with this cartridge.
I'm still trying to get around to using the molds I have.
I have a 41 mold that I have cast a few hundred boolits from but haven't picked through just yet.
the brass is still in the bag and the powder is on the shelf.
and an accurate mold I think I cast with but don't remember where I put the boolits from the session.
I need to find them and check the rifle they are for.
today would have been a good day to get some shooting done it was 1-2F outside but no wind.
[shaking my head]
i'll get there, I'm going through all of my rifle brass slowly prepping and priming it.
I talked to Brad about that mold some before and if I get another one that will probably be it.
I need a lighter one for the Winchester but also need one that doubles for the 375 magnum revolver.
probably that storm that just went through here.
3 straight days of snow then it cleared off this morning, it's gonna get cold now.
we ended up with about 30-33"s here in the highlands, down in Pocatello they got maybe 10-12".
I am leaning towards another/different 41 mag design. I need to either get the cylinder lapped or do it myself.
Been under the weather for the past few days, re reading my notes and articles on the 32HR/327 federal. After doing some looking, I am lacking in the 100-115grain department for the 32's...........
This would be for a neglected S7 that needs played with when the weather straightens up.
Creeker, if I was gonna get another 30 cal mould that one would be high on the list. I should have gotten in on the HM2 version but like an idiot I didn't.
I would like to try a mid-heavy in .358 Winchester. been shooting and hunting with the 3589 for years and it is a great bullet, but a 230 of good design would maybe let me move the velocity up a bit. Plus I like working up loads for new bullets.
accurate has one for the 6.8
the rcbs 168 would be closer to 180 but the 145 generally shoots better, I'd want a lot flatter nose design for hunting though.
unless you plan on shooting them through the hams and out the throat.
HAH! Got another Holy Grail the other day! RD TLC359-190! Makes my second RD - I started buying them AFTER Mike quit making them! But my next one is prob a Lee 6c 358-158GC for the 357 Smith. When I bought the latest RD mold, it is coming with GCs and I already have about 1500, so figure might as well go ahead and get the GC mold for the 357 (which I thought I would never do... oh well!)
