[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 3345098, member: 15527"] One thing that I have been thinking about is the THROAT! When I cut a throat for a chamber that will see nothing but cast bullets, I cut a totally different throat, vs. what I cut for a high accuracy match, sniper or target gun, and it makes all the difference in the world! Just like the H&R Buffalo Classic in 45/70 that doesn't even have a proper throat cut in it, if any at all. A "target" throat will give these guns great accuracy out to 600 yards, or even further with the right set up. Cut a throat for a cast bullet, and a good load will never have any paper left between the holes, meaning just one ragged hole! The same goes for long necked cartridges like the 30-30, 30-40 Krag, 30-06 and others that are set up for shooting cast bullets. Some shoot fairly well with a factory throat, buy cut a cast bullet throat in them, and they will shoot the best they possibly can. Me personally, I'm not a cast bullet shooter. Never have been and never will be. But, having said that, I made a 350 gr. mold over 30 years ago for my Ruger Super Blackhawk and it shot great and killed a lot of big, mean and nasty hogs in the Mississippi and Louisiana swamps. So....... Since my little .45 does so well with jacketed bullets, I'm just going to keep everything as is! I have a few cast bullets left, and if anyone is interested in them, let me know. I know they are accurate bullets, just not in my gun. [ATTACH=full]158252[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
