Hi I am looking for someone preferably in Thunder Bay or very close area. I need somebody with a 45-70 with a scope to test out some new cast boolits I have made. You must have reloading equipment as I'll supply the cast bullets that's all. Prefer a levergun (marlin guide gun,etc.) they are a 375 gr hp gas checked and Lubesized to .458". Air cooled for a bhn around 9-11. I would like to see some pictures of the targets. And I'll be doing some expansion tests in water jugs hopefully this weekend with my peep sights. Please pm me if you are in or very close to Thunder Bay.
Thanks
Ken.



 
i have about 400 stock piled and making more each day. they will be for sale shortly but i like to test them out before i sell as i am picky and fussy on what i sell to others. ill be out at the range on saturday to test them out with my guide gun with skinner peep sights. i am looking at ordering a marlin cowboy 26" barrelled 1895 right now as well to mount a scope onto for testing. but that wont be for a few weeks yet.
 
It's too bad I don't live up there or I would test them. I run a scoped marlin 1895 gbl and it does sub 3/4 at 110 with factory Winchester 300 grainers. That's benched and a 3 shot group but only a 4.5 power scopechief. I am also importing a Marlin 1895LTD2 that I will be scoping as well but its 2 months out. I reload and cast so am curious how those bullet work.

I was sighting in so excuse not being in the center.

Well initial results are good. Getting clover leafs at 25 yards. And 2.5" group at 100 yards. Do t forget I am using skinner peep sights not a scope!!!! Never got to expansion test today it was to cold and I forgot the water jugs at home.
:( I'll load some more up and head to the range later this week with a bunch of water jugs and do an expansion test. And I'll work up a slightly hotter load as well. Maybe tighten the group up a little more. This also allows me to build up more stock before they go for sale. Teehee. ;)
