Ok I am going to start reloading one way or another. I really like the idea of having 1 simple load for target, deer and hogs and I really really like the idea of cheap Keith style SWC cast bullets. I have been looking at the Missouri Bullet Co 240 grain Keith SWC's

What is a good combo? My knowledge level and desire are both simple lol all I know right now is I want Keith style bullet going about 1,300-1,400 fps

Do those come with a gas check?


Rod, too.

Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

Check out Montana Bullet works, and Western bullet company. The Western bullet company makes some awsome Keith bullets for around $11/100. They make for a great plinking or hunting bullet. I run them from a 44 Special at modest velocities.

Montana Bullet Works offers a gas checked bullet. Look at Matts Bullets as well. I just ordered 200 from him.

Another vote for Montana Bullet Works. I use the 255gr with gas check and can well in excess of 1400 fps with a 7.5 in Redhawk.
Very accurate and best of all no leading! #429244 .430 This was Dave's suggestion. No complaints.

I have cast the Keith type SWC for many years. I have shot 6 deer with this bullet at out to 75 yards with good results. I have a Ruger 3 screw with a 10.5" bbl, running them out @ 1700 fps. I shot one deer with a Sierra 240 grain HP with the same gun. The mold used is the Lyman 429421.
