Watch the throat in your rifle. I have a Ruger 77 and couldn't use LBT's lfns without seating them like wad cutters; the results were not good.

The RCBS 416-350 bullet is an excellent design, and I've cast and fired probably a couple of thousand of 'em by now.

I believe this bullet is available from

www.bullshop.gunloads.com

and if so, you couldn't ask for a better one. I've loaded it from 1100 fps to 2600 fps with greatsatisfaction. Tell Bullshop that BruceB sent ya...


Regards from BruceB (aka Bren Mk1)

I was casting my own using an LBT mold. My Ruger really needs a 2 diameter mold or else lengthen throat. I also have to be careful with Swift 400 gr. bullets as they have to be loaded a bit short or they tend to stick.
