    Well, back from the range where I tested some new loads for the 44 Special. All that good data that got sent my way . . . no way I could NOT try some of it out. I did up 24/25 rounds of 4.7 of W231, 7.0 of Unique, 8.9 of Blue Dot and 11.2 of 2400--all pushing a Mastercastbullets 240 gr SWC...

    In 1994, I had been out of federal law enforcement for several years and was working for the NRA's ad agency. For those old enough to remember, 1993 - 1994 were some of the more turbulent years for gun owners, ranging from the Brady Bill to the Assault Weapons Ban to the Clarence Thomas hearings...

    Quality cast bullets for quality, consistent groups

    There's a discussion going on regarding a newcomer to the cast bullets world. Pics posted of trials of this caster's bullets show a shotgun-ish looking pattern. I've been trading e-mails with Mike at Mastercastbullets and I've ordered a batch of 44 caliber 240 LSWC bullets. He sent me a picture...
