cgbachWatch 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.

Bren Mk1The 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.comand 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...

cgbachI 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.
