Rossi Rifleman

For the first time since last winter I have cast some bullets. Last week I spent a few hours preparing and casting from two moulds. One is RD's new 30 cal for the 30-30 and the other I used is also an RD mould, a 38-55 235 gr. FN.The 30 cal. is brand new so basically the first use is a shakedown to learn its little nuances. In the end I had a few hundred bullets ready to size, load and shoot!

Now for the good news. Our cold snap is supposed to give us a bit of relief for the weekend so I plan on testing these bullets on Friday afternoon when we're supposed to hit 38º. At that temp, with no wind, I could probably shoot all day but once that wind starts I begin to drip from my nose & eyes, feet freeze up and fingers become non-functional. Today I loaded 40 rounds and will be taking a few rifles chambered for the 30-30. Hope that weatherman is right.

Good get some range time keep us posted I haven't had time for a long while so hoping soon I can take a break from work and get some range time I have three project guns I haven't even gotten a chance to test and shoot them.

Hope your weatherman is right. When I lived in PA most could not predict yesterdays weather.... With hunting season over I am looking forward to getting some shooting time in. Been sick for the last week and a half and just can't seem to shake it.

Give it hell steelbanger hope you have a great day at the range!!

Hey I tell you one thing b complex helps give me enrgy and helps me get past cold bugs and such may want to add it to your vitamine routine just saying. I live on the road more than not cannot afford to be sick and this trick save me.

I will give it a try!! Thanks

Good luck Frank, hope the weather holds up.

That's what the temperature was on my range today, put a dozen of my TLC460-425-RFs through my RG4570. Going nilgai hunting Friday in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, supposed to be in the mid seventies.

Good luck Rd keep us posted to how your hunts go we love to hear your ranch stories. I look forward to all range an hunt results to come.

We've had a slight, positive change in the weather. Yesterday morning it was -1.7º and today it's .6º. I hope it really climbs by tomorrow.

Michael, I hope you find one this trip. I will be on the edge of my seat waiting for bullet results.

I recently read of two Texas hunters that each killed a nilgai on a mud flat and had a 600 yard drag. I can only imagine the fun. Good luck.

With the suped-up ++P++ 45 LC ammo RD loads the Nilgai will probably hit the ground like a big pile of hamburger.

Haah, the 454 Casull isn't going. I had ordered a saddle ring for the rifle but it hasn't come in so with no way to sling the rifle, it must stay home. I also do not what to rush the saddle ringing of this carbine, need to take it slow. May be next year.
