timattalon not sure why it double posted that, must be an error on my part. I'll see if it's still for sale in a month or 2, I might have to get a shotty in the meantime. Its good to know they've got...

timattalon they seem to be a bit cheaper here, there's a 300 win mag one with a ziess conquest 3-9x40 for 5800 CAD. It might be the go in a few paydays... Maybe I should hold off until the NZ...

Thanks for all your replies guys,
jim160 I'm from New Zealand and have just moved to British Colombia. Unfortunately I have a distrust for semis and I would like to bring whatever I get back to...

So I've just moved to BC and have a job up in some grizzly country. I figured this would be a really good excuse to build a new gun... I've always wanted a 375 h&h but I'm not super fast on the bolt....

I also run a guide gun, currently loading up some 500gr Lee casts

Just an update, I've finally made some progress. Got some differently packed explosions loaded up today. 78235
Cheers for all the advice you've been giving me guys and a specially big thanks to...

huntsika sounds like you have it all under control then. My reason for asking is that my old man has 5 or so boxes of 401 ammo and has been looking at either getting a rifle or potentially swapping...

Hi, I understand this is a very old thread, but did you have any luck?

Has anyone had any luck getting one of these in New Zealand?

I'm in his flat and we will all be there even if I have to get the whip out

I am pleased myself that I didn't stuff my mold, certainly a lesson to measure everything. shooternz I would be very grateful if you could send me some gas checks, I don't think I need very many as...

Interesting turn of events... I was just about to begin polishing out my molds, then I thought I'd measure my bullets for interest sake... well they're dropping out at .459. I'm unsure why, could it...

shooternz I would be very keen to try some gas checks and are there any more pointers you can give me on taking the mold out to .459?

Cheers for the help guys. rossi.45 where do you get your gas checks from? Also will I be likely to need a crimp die? I have loaded up a dummy round and it seemed to hold together fine

Finally made some progress on the 500gr loads. I cast up 2 dozen successful pills last night after much trial and era.

rambo-6mmrem Cheers for the offer of 420 grainers but I'm really committed to the 500s for the moment, it's as much about learning how to do it all for me as anything. rossi.45 I've had a brief look...

shooternz despite your advice I have ordered some lee moulds, I have no doubt that you are right but it's a cheaper way for me to get started and I am going to try my damnedest to get the 500 to work...

rossi.45 the ladder sight certainly looks a treat and I'm definitely keen on one down the line if I can get one that doesn't limit my short range reaction time (which is already slow enough). And how...

I can get these moulds from reloader supplies https://leeprecision.com/mold-dc-c457-500-f.html thought it might be a good starting point and they're cheap. Has anyone tried them before?

rossi.45 it is quite the difficult goal I know and I also doubt I'll make it. I haven't really looked into sights yet but I do want to keep iron and really like the Skinner sights even though they're...

Thanks for all your replies guys, I'm trying to learn as much as I can before I commit

I use my 45-70 for hunting pretty much only under 200 yards. The reason I was thinking about 500 grains was because I wanted to try pull of some of those legendary 1000 yard shots (despite having the...

Hi guys,
Looking at reloading casts in my 1895 Marlin 45-70 and was just wondering what everyone is using and what's available in New Zealand. Hoping to load around the 500 grain mark are there any...
