I have cast bullets for quite some time for 38 special, 44 mag, and 45/70 with adequate success for my needs. I cast from wheel weights and tumble lube the pistol bullets - they shoot as well as I can shoot a handgun. I have tumbled lubed some of the 45/70 bullets and shot them as cast using Unique and they were plenty accurate for off hand shooting at 50 yards.

I would like a recommendation for a 30 caliber bullet mold that can be tumbled lubed and is likely to work well in a 30'06 with loads using Unique (or Reloader #7) to make a plinking load for off hand practice. Any recommendations of charge weight of Unique or Reloader #7 also would be appreciated.

I am aware that powder coating is the new great thing in cast bullets but I prefer to stick to tumble lubing as I have ALOT of Alox.

Thank you.

If you can't be a good example, may you at least serve as a dreadful warning
