I just picked up a nice Model 71, and would like your advise in casting & loading for it.
I'm also looking to purchase a mold or two, so if anyone has one they're not using and would part with it, please let me know.
Thanks for your response.

Al,
Been gone from this web site since reformatted.
I don't remember seeing any emails.
Might have gone the way of spam

I have four M71's, both Brownings and Winchesters. The Brownings have no throat, the rifling starts immediately in front of the case neck. The Winchesters can accept a small forward full diameter driving band on the bullet design. Accurate molds has a number of designs for the .348 WCF. I use the 35-220B for almost all my shooting. They also have a version of the old Lyman 250 gr. bullet in the line up. I like RL-15 in the .348 with cast. My go to cast load is 41.0 gr of RL-15 and a 220gr. bullet for right around 2100 fps. I've played with 6 different M71's both originals and repro's and they all accepted .353" - .354" diameter cast bullets. The M71 is what I cut my teeth on as far as loading cast bullets in rifle cartridges. I had many failures early on.
