Hello, new member

[Big Mak]

Howdy, from Washington State near the foothills of the Cascade mountains, Lake Tapps, WA.
I am a BPCR enthusiast (I shoot a trapdoor with cartouche of 1883 and modern Win 94 in 38-55) BP and smokeless reloading and recently started casting my own and well as powder coating (for smokeless)

Hope to learn a lot from this community and share some of my stories as well!
I have a great interest in the Matthew Quigley match in Montana but am looking for a good spotter before I make that trek! Perhaps when I retire in 35 months or sooner?

Welcome aboard!

Lots of help available here!

Which boolits and do you want to try other boolits?

[Big Mak]

I am just starting to cast (2 week virgin) with Lyman moulds in 45-70 (405 gr), 45 Colt (225 gr) and .357 magnum (150 gr).
When I find the right price on a mould, 38-55 too.

Regarding reloading, 11 different bullet types from .223 up to .45 500 gr bullets. I've had great success shooting with Dan's bullets (The Bull shop)

Welcome Aboard! Lots of good guys on here. Take some time to glance at the stickies above each thread. Lots of info on everything about casting boolits!

Welcome there is a lot of good info here.

Welcome, and BTW, for the price, the LEE .379-250-RF boolit mold is very hard to beat.

[runfiverun]

your in the right place.
we have some very competent shooters in the black powder sub section.

Welcome, lots of great people here more then willing to help. I use the Lee bullet in my Winchester, works great for me.

Welcome. You have to be careful in what you read here. It may cause you to get involved in another hobby.

[Big Mak]

short of paper patch bullets, I think I'm already addicted to all the firearms related hobbies, Walla2 ! :)

[runfiverun]

Paper patch you say..?
we got a section for that.
actually 2, one for black and one for smokeless, they are 2 different systems.

Welcome from the woods at the end of the road near Hood Canal (our piece of paradise in spite of the politics)! If you are over our way, give us a shout out for lunch at the Twanoh Cafe.
