If we cast...can we still buy some???!!!

DiscoRacing · January 17, 2011, 08:37 PM

Startin to think that I have a little more Jacketed bullets that I may need in awhile. Course you can guess by the pics that I lean towards Hornady.

GP100man · January 17, 2011, 11:34 PM

It`s good with me !! & I won`t tell nobody

Really , I cast & shoot lead almost exclusively & that don`t make me wanna flush all my jacketed stuff it just lets me shoot more !!!!

Alls well within it`s limits & sometimes it`s cheaper to shoot a jacketed than to mix the alloys to achieve the same performace levels , even then ya have to worry `bout the bullet fragmenting on contact !!!& terminal effect !

zxcvbob · January 17, 2011, 11:42 PM

I cast my own .38, 41, and .45 bullets (and that's mostly what I shoot), but I still buy other cast bullets and a few j-bullets.

I haven't really committed to the cast bullets in the .41 yet. I just started shooting that one, and only have a cheap 2-cavity mold.

huntinaz · January 17, 2011, 11:58 PM

Awesome. I'm drooling

reloader28 · January 18, 2011, 10:44 AM

I do have quite a few factory rifle bullets that are in them colored boxes, tho not all red. I like variety.

Most of my rifle bullets and ALL my pistol bullets are in coffee cans on shelves or under the bench around the lube/sizer.

DiscoRacing · January 18, 2011, 04:30 PM

Hey I got some yella ones in there too...

.. but the letters XPB...must be more expensive than the letters XTP...

I wouldnt see why those three letters would make such a difference in price.

IllinoisCoyoteHunter · January 18, 2011, 04:41 PM

How ya like them dogtown bullets?

DiscoRacing · January 18, 2011, 04:42 PM

Ya havent tried em??!!

I love em...Nothing I have had will group better in my .223 ruger.
I can shoot one hole all day with em.

That'll Do · January 18, 2011, 04:54 PM

I primarily use home cast bullets (.38/.357, .44, and .45) and for the most part, it satisfies my needs, but I do keep a decent amount of jacketed bullets on hand. Mainly 180gr FMJ from Montana Gold for my XDm.

I really like Hornady bullets, particularly the 230gr HAP for a .45 ACP (looks just like the HP-XTP but isn't designed to expand) and the 200gr FMJ-CT, also for 45 ACP, which is a fully jacketed semiwadcutter. Feeds great and leaves a nice sharp hole.

There are some days where I don't feel like dealing with lead (or if I visit a range that doesn't allow lead), and jacketed bullets save the day for me.

howlnmad · January 18, 2011, 07:11 PM

If you do feel the need to purchase any more of them there red boxed bullets, do so under an alias for fear of being cast out (pun intended) of this cult.

DiscoRacing · January 18, 2011, 08:24 PM

Cast out.... tossed to the curb... dropped... disowned...

.. are you serious??!!!

I can change... I wont buy anymore....
..
.. I can paint some of the boxes a different color.

armoredman · January 18, 2011, 08:34 PM

Well, you could start by sending the 9mm bullets to me - only caliber I saw up there I can use.

DiscoRacing · January 18, 2011, 08:37 PM

I had to look back at the pics... didnt realize that I had them in there.

Saguaro Firearms · January 19, 2011, 02:31 AM

i have a 40x 22-250, the dog town bullets shoot surprisingly well, good groups, stay together at clost to 3900 fps, and make good pink mist, and theyre cheap,
i will continue to buy them.

DiscoRacing · January 19, 2011, 07:21 AM

They will take game too.... I dropped a nice doe this past year... with the 34grain hollow points no less... at around 75 yards... Bullet passed all thru... nearly a 1 inch hole all the way thru. Excellent bullets for sure.

rdmallory · January 19, 2011, 11:39 AM

Got Powder?

DiscoRacing · January 19, 2011, 11:45 AM

FrankenMauser · January 19, 2011, 04:53 PM

DiscoRacing, you're over the federal limit for primer storage in a private dwelling. You need thicker walls, and a real latch on that ~~powder~~ primer magazine.

rdmallory · January 19, 2011, 08:20 PM

Someone else don't like the shape of Ramshot powder bottles.

Doug

And the Dog town bullets are less expensive at Midsouth. They call them varmint nightmares.

DiscoRacing · January 19, 2011, 08:36 PM

Dont know how much space everyone else has... but... my reloading space is getting small...wasnt big to start out with and have way way too much stocked up.

DiscoRacing · January 19, 2011, 08:40 PM

What I really need is one or two more bows... than the eight I have there already..

And NO... I DONT prefer the Parker over the Mathews.

grubbylabs · January 19, 2011, 11:24 PM

hay I have bows hanging in my reloading room as well. My reloading bench started out as an archery table with a bow vise and what not. I just don't keep the vise on there very much. but the arrow saw lives there full time. I shoot a Mathews as well. But judging from the pics I think mine might be a little newer. Its a Hyperlight, what is yours?

DiscoRacing · January 20, 2011, 07:19 AM

I have two CSS for bowfishin... a mathews featherlite, mathews conquest 2 (which is what i used the past year for my first deer with a bow) and couple a PSE.. I got a Parker Wildfire XP a month ago...the guy said I would like it because of the 9 inch shorter axle to axle.... Ive shot it and dont like it at all compared to the Conquest.
