I cast about 1500 bullets ... 43 pounds of them. Got about 400 rounds loaded today.

The 44 Keith bullet

Ran across my old Long-Range 45 Colt bullet. Used in the Ruger Blackhawk. It is the old Lyman 457191 300 gr. 45-90 rifle bullet. Sized down to .452" and crimped into the top grease groove. I normally loaded these around 1100 fps. Shot quite a bit of game with it. Extremely accurate at long range. John Taffin was with me when I shot some through the front wall of an old cabin better than a quarter mile away,

Some of my experimental 30-30 loads using the 125 gr. Speer AK47 bullet. Still testing these. Single load them in the Model 94 Trapper.
