Reloading 350 Legend - Reduced Cost And Reduced Recoil Cast & Plated Rounds With Hodgdon Trail Boss 

Yessir!👍🇺🇸👊

Thanks brother and Merry Christmas to you too!

I have some loaded up under some different 55gr boolits, haven't shot any of them yet but it should be fun! I'd really like a bolt gun in every cartridge I shoot just for these types of loads🙃

But you only use half the amount per charge... kinda... sometimes... in specific situations....

That would be cool!

I'll have to give that a try and see how they compare!

I love it for cast loads!

🤣 sorry, I'm a dummy

It did better on this video than anything ever before! haha

Ouch! Hopefully nothing was hurt too badly other than your pride! They definitely warn against going to low, saying down to 70% of your max load.

It's been on hold since the rona and all that so they can keep pushing Varget and 4350 out the door. I've had this bottle for a while(3 years?) and am still being stingy with it 😆

@@DummyRound I've heard blackhorn 209 is a good replacement for trailboss. Im just looking a for a high case fill powder.

It might work but it's also $100 a pound, if you can find it🤣

It was a complete dumpster fire, and I pulled most of them. They'd probably do fine in a bolt action👍🤠🇺🇲

That range day ended up being a clown show, so I'll have to re-load these and try again at some point. Thanks!

@@DummyRound It would be cool to see what sort of performance you can get with reduced power loads.

Yessir, going to try again eventually when I get some time👍

Should be fun testing these! YT has been going on quite the tear lately🤕

@@DummyRound we'll keep trudging on until the end.

Commie Tube what a joke I really don’t have anything nice to say about this platform anymore. In the beginning it was a excellent place to learn about firearms. Then they caved to the libs and anti American views true Americans believe in.

They really have. I'm thinking very hard about starting my own site/blog/etc so I can do whatever the hell I want.

@@DummyRound you know I’ll be your first sub brother

The range has been closed so I haven't event gotten to shoot these yet, but I plan on using some other pistol powders like Unique or Titegroup eventually. Thanks 👊

That's absolutely the trick! Merry Christmas to you as well👊🇺🇸👍

Delicious!

Every Lee mold I've tried works just fine, and they are pretty amazing once broken in after a few sessions. For the 350legend I have tried a 358-200FN, 358-150RN, 358-158RF, TL356-125TC, an MP 359-125, and probably a few others. Just make sure you size to .356". I have a bunch more testing to do here once the range opens back up so I plan on getting all of those dialed in for accuracy and functionality in my AR.

@@DummyRound thanks , was thinking the 150 RN myself .

Yessir! I think those all fed properly. I'm sure accuracy can be found with the right load. I have only done a very preliminary test. I think I have a video a while back with cast 150gr-200gr projectiles.

Yep, lead is usually already a reduced load. I was just using the verbiage they had on the info page, and I don't think you can push trail boss to max loads anyways. 350legend doesn't really have any recoil to reduce, either 🤣

🤣 thanks buddy!

Delicious!

I bought a $85.00 ar15discounts nbs m4 carbine 16 barrel and installed it on a m&p 15 m4 it has the ks47 chamber cuts it's absolutely fantastic and amazing i load 160 170 180 and 200 grain bullets all cast powder coated rounds full velocity about 11 to 13 cents a round reloaded thats the high end price low end is about 7 to 8 cents a round. I also have a bca ss heavy 20 inch it's also super accurate but heavy around 10 pounds plus. If you reload go for it and it gets out to 300 plus yards very easily.

That's literally the only reason for me. Same projectiles I'm already casting, it shares powder with 300blk, uses the same BCG, and takes small rifle primers. Seemed like it was meant to be. Only hard part is finding the brass!

I've got some cast 158gr and 200gr loads I'm working on. My upper is BCA as well, only 16". Hoping to get some new glass soon to actually test some accuracy. Are you gas checking?

@@DummyRound you're so right i had to buy 180 Winchester and pull them 5 boxs 100.00 dollars i did notice by dropping the factory charger from 25.1 grains to 23.5 the primer pockets remain good and tight still looking for brass. My first fifty have been reloaded 6 and some 7 times. I really need about 3 to 5 hundred casings.

@@DummyRound no double powder coating only.

MP 359-124 NLG. Same as the purple flat nose bullets, but with the HP inserts. They are still available for purchase as far as I know.

@@DummyRound thanks. I tried to find it but I think the hp version is sold out. I appreciate it!

They're actually from the same mold, but it comes with 3 sets of pins to choose from. Deep round HP, shallower penta HP, and flat nose. I haven't used the penta point yet, but I'm sure it makes a mighty fine bullet as well.

@@DummyRound yup. I saw it. Its not too expensive. Like $124ish I think. I’m on the email in stock list

Awesome! Better get a set of Lee handles while you wait👍

I have not, but it's still on the list to play with. Have some new molds to play with and might try in the 450bm as well.....eventually.

@@DummyRound I'm particularly interested if there is too much case bulge. Been thinking about a triplex myself

@@daviddyess3938 that sounds like fun. @boozeandbullets did a few tests with the 450bm and didn't have any issues. I reckon this would be pretty similar. Going for some .360" round balls?

@@DummyRound no, probably 75-95gr wc using a modified Lee 147gr wc mold with a 380acp bullet at the front. Duplex probably makes more sense, but why not. Want it for subs.

Let us know how it goes if you try it out!

MP 359-125 NLG with the flat point inserts instead of hollow points. Same as the green one.

Thanks

I traded for it. I've never seen any in the wild before since TN doesn't require straight walls and I think I'm the only person that shoots it in the entire state lol

I still have to get to the range with these and several others to test in the 350L. Esaub Outdoors has a video testing some similar loads if you want to check that out. Thanks for watching!

I’m trying for a hunting load for the hornady 147 xtp to keep it in the recommended velocity for brush hunting max 50 yard shots thank you can’t wait for to see that next video

That would be a fun load. I'm hoping to get out this weekend, even if it's going to be 37 and raining!

Yeah, this was a turd, especially having to manually cycle the AR lol

Just enough to get the projectiles started. Sometimes you need a bit more on larger diameter cast or plated projectiles. Thanks👍
