Welcome aboard. How did you find us?

Followed a link from either leverguns website, or singleactions website. I've seen it before, but am interested in going to the shoot, now that I have a decent collection to play with.

Right now, I need to find someone that has one of EK's .357 molds that's interested in trading for some .45 cal. Keith bullets. I rarely shoot .357's, but it's the one gun I don't have a good load worked up for.

    Lyman 454424. With the lead I'm using, it seems to always drop around 270 gr., within a few grains. I weigh and segregate the bullets by weight.

    I eventually want to aquire the hollow point and hollow base molds. I'm also interested in some sample from these molds.

    Right now, I'm only messing with .45 Colt and .357's, for sixguns.

    I need to find some bullets I like for my .30-30's, as well. I think I'm gonna go with a 160 or 170 gr. bullet, as I want an all around load. I see no sense in having a dozen loads for each gun, and a menu hanging on the side of the ammo box!
