[38-55 Goex FFg 255gr and 337gr recipes]

JackSlade,

I concur with SD. 25” high at 100 yards via Hornady ballistic calculator. 365 gr bullet, 38-50 Rem-Hepburn, 1295 fps.

I’m running .22” to .25” Goex FFg and Olde Epnsford (sp - I have the bottle in front of me and I can’t figure out what the first two letters are).

 

How about the twist on your rifle? Seems kind of slow.

[BULLET CASTING QUESTION]

The melt point is 618° for 25:1 or 30:1 lead tin. I figured that the lead will hold the same temperature in transition, same as water. I don’t know if that’s so, that’s all I have got.

 

I placed the thermometer when it’s half liquid and half hard. If thermometer doesn’t read 618° I change it with a 5/8 inch wrench, just under the face of the thermometer.

 

Single cavity, hand dipping

365gr 750-760° with garage temp at 60°

550gr 780°, garage temp 70°

 

I am going to experiment with lower temperatures in the bottom pure Lee elect pot, on the six cavity mold. 740-745° is too hot.

 

Mold oven. Fits 1-4 cavity molds, but, not six.

[Lee 358-125-RF, Nose punch?]

Can anyone recommend a nose punch for a Lyman lubersizer for Lee 358-125-RF.

 

I can’t find it in any of the Lee documents online nor can I see it in Midway.
 

Lyman nose punches for the 357 cal bullets: 495 RF point bullet, 429 Keith style bullet.

 

Help needed.

Thanks,

[Lab Radar and BC measurement]

BC being the bullet's ballistic coefficient? Hornady had a podcast about bullet BC, and my takeaway is that the BC changes with velocity.

Cholla, yes, you are right. On the other hand, black powder cartridge rifles, 45-70, top out at 1200 ft./s. And from the graph, it’s almost a straight line function. The games we play with the BPCR, the range are known. I’m interested in the wind deflection.

Thanks,

[Lab Radar and BC measurement]

While were talking about chronographs in a separate post, I was wondering if any of you dived into the BC?

 

I’m looking for a Paul Jones 45001 BC. I’m using the estimation BC of .357

 

I know LabRadar is capable of this, And based on my brothers experience, is difficult to use (Been waiting for the BC 3-4 years now).

 

Garmin looks like it’s easy to use, but doesn’t offer the BC. Although, I’ve talk to some users, and they say that there’s an app for a Garmin, that offers a myriad of information, minus the BC.

 

Thanks,

Uriah

[1898 Krag Rifle.]

OIS,

 

You have a 1896 sight.

The receiver is a 1898 by its markings, but it has a notch to receive the bolt handle like an 1896? Transition model?

 

Fine rifle!

I hate it when a manufacturer uses the same name for different products.  Jeep has the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee.  Ruger, the Vaquero and New Vaquero.  One of the worse was Hodgdon with Clays, Universal Clays and International Clays.  Hornady has done the same thing with One Shot.  They have one for case lube and one for gun lube.  In this thread are talking about the one on the left in the Red can.  Not the one on the right in the Black can.  For lubing cases Red good, black bad.

 

Larsen, thank you for clearing this up. I have the BLACK CAN at and have use it for case lube on occasion with mixed results. Bottleneck cases, hard to pull out of the resizing die.

Diamondback is gone unless you know where to get some or have a large stash.

German Jim,

 

I had the misfortune of ordering in 25 pounds, thinking that it would be all right for the 45-70. Same for the KIK powder. I could get neither one of those to shoot.  The only things I use those powder for his practice offhand for my 45-70 hunting loads, 50 - 100yds, CAS, and shotguns.
