Hello Fordy I thank you on the video attachment . You have shot a lot of elephants and the 500 nitro a very good caliber for DG . I do not like doubles. I am a bolt gun shooter. Yes the double gives a very quick second shot. Then you are stuck with reloading and things can go very bad on a...

Thank you for the encouraging words and understand what I am doing with lead on DG and PG . I am not new to lead bullets I Founded Hunters Supply cast bullets and have given the company to my daughter to run and I have retired . Now I have the time to really get into what is needed in the lead...

The 10 gage makes a lot of sense ,I have one setting in the safe I do not hunt gees any more . It has a 36 inch barrel on it . The 577 NE is a interesting caliber THINKING I did pick up a mold the other day for the 577

Great rifle . a little on the light side as factory set up accessory Sub MOA Had one for over 40 years will never sell it. Many after market stocks 98 Mauser on the market I would look for one with the two cross bolts in the stock for the 375

Hello all, Had to get wet today testing . Water testing one of the toughest things in the world for bullets . Today was the first real testing with the 375 H&H and the 350 gr bullet mold. The 6% antimony 7% tin 87% lead did just what I figured would happen in water 241.4 gr recovered ...

Hello All A lot of you do not agree with a barns tsx ok I will switch to a solid for the 375 H&H and the 416 Taylor. I have the 458 covered . I am borrowing a safari savage model 116 SS 22 inch barrel in 458 win mag, I have completely reworked this rifle it started at just seven pounds now...

LOL Riflecrank I am glade you are such an expert in the mater of 458 win mag . YOUR QUOAT "I strongly disagree with your use of groove-diameter cast lead bullets. You are upset because I am sizing my lead bullets to my grove diameter .458 to element lead dust build up in silencers and muzzle...

Your 458 has .459 groves ? more like SAMI specks of .450 bore and .458 grove can be +2 thousand over but not often run into on 458 win mags they just did not make enough 458 win mags. and you are using a custom barrel not a mass produced factory barrel ? yes your 730 gr bullet is the same...

Hello all I was setting the OAL for the 458 rounds and had to pull a bullet in a Kinetic bullet puller. I found out real quick 6 2 92 15 BHN is way too soft for the elephant bullet no need to shoot. So I am making up some 30 BHN Bullets for the testing now. The 30 BHN will be for elephant it...
