Carolina Cast Bullets quality?
Anybody have experience, good or bad, concerning the quality of Carolina Cast Bullets?
I have been looking for a Ranch Dog .359 175 grain bullet mold for quite a while with no luck. Now I have found out that Carolina Cast Bullets sells this same bullet.
I know I can order a hundred to see but if they get good marks from you guys I would rather order 500.

I got some of his .432 diameter 265 Grain Ranch Dogs. Great looking bullets and owner was a good guy to deal with. Went through the gristle plate on one side of a 185 lb hog quartering towards us and came out the other side. Killed him quick.

Bought some specialized 9.3 castings from him. Always a good transaction and the bullets are as good or better than my own work. No worries buying from them.

Didn't shoot them at a match or anything, but some 0.375's I got were perfect in appearance (also a 'Ranch Dog' mould), and Carolina Cast Bullets was splendid in terms of communication and service (and price).
I'd not hesitate to buy 5,000 from them if I needed that many.

Re: Carolina Cast Bullets quality?
Thanks for the quick response guys ............... I will order 500 tomorrow .......... hopefully it will hold me over till I find a Ranch Dog mold .................. I have tried several cast bullets but the Ranch Dog sized .359 gives me the best accuracy out of my Marlin ........... this way I will be able to get it all loaded before my trip coming up

I am looking for the Ranch Dog 175 grain .359 gas check mold and also the .359 sizer die. If you have them for sale or know where they can be purchased please tell me.

Re: Carolina Cast Bullets quality?
That is a mighty generous offer Tycer, I appreciate it. But it looks like the same boolit that another Levergunner sent me samples of to try. Those boolits were all over the paper, probably because I need them sized to .3595 for my Marlin and the ones I received were .358.Tycer wrote:I have this one I might loan you:

Do you know the as cast diameter of those boolits and with which alloy? I normally cast 90% wheelweights and 10% linotype.

Not sorted for weight nor carefully culled for blems. These are for my practice. I will sort some for you.
