http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=100208&highlight=noe+225107    There is a group buy going on for a 37 grainer made by NOE on the castboolite forum.  i'm giving itsome serious consideration. i think a gas checked  hollow point should be fun.

I've had real good luck using an older Lyman 46g gas checked bullet , poured from strait WW , tried some lighter ones and did not like the groups that it was shooting .

  It's been a while since I got it and I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't found time to use it yet, but after reading on castboolits I bought a mould from Sports South made by Lee they call a Bator. The mould is made on a limited basis and there can be a wait on it depending on when you order it.

Just for the hell of it, I used to re-prime some brass and load a 22 air rifle pellet. It was quiet and good for about 20 feet. Just right for the garage !

Hi all, try the Bator Boolit from Midsouth. I shoot it with WC820 and Green-Dot. one of my jugs of WC820 is similar to H110, so I used that loading data. Visit the Lyman Cast Bullet Manuel 3rd edition, it has many loadings that will make you a Happy Hornet Shooter. I have shot P-dogs within 100 yards and it is very effective, no video shots but DRT. You will hear a very satisfying WHACK.
