PS. I gotta get my better paper up so its better lookin, but I just use this big crate paper when I have no idea where their gonna go

Well Charger1, I think you've kinda done it now. Just when we thought Dromia had done so well with ".590 Collar Button", you come along and show us this. Problem is, your using smokeless, Dromia was using "Holy Black".

And yes, I must agree, get some decent targets. Those pieces of cardboard taped to the side of the Canada Post Delivery truck don't seem to cut it anymore. Besides, didn't the driver call the "Queens Cowboys" last time you did that?. So much for moving targets.

Nice shootin. Lets see more (with better targets).

Ya I know. I'm going to be busy casting and pan lubing a wack of these up .Along with conforming a pile of brass,,,then there will be some groups up here that folk can make out what they are. Heres that 3 shot kneeling at 50 yds.Two in the right,one on its own with the first hack mold I had.(OH the guns got potential,I'd bet on that). I cant do that black deal...Its messy

PS. I may have to dirty things with a little black cause if'n I'm not mistaken there was the tone of a challenge there
Cute little devils though huh?:twisted:

Those is yours in front RRR. 14 or 15 not sure now. They mic out at .5905 nominal sized and lubed. There a tad wrinkly cause the mold so new but it aint effecting them in flight. The weight only varies by couple grains

A couple of questions: (1) bullet diameter and (2) what is your felt wad?

A couple of questions: (1) bullet diameter and (2) what is your felt wad?

First is easy,.5905" second is embarrasing, Round discs cut from 1/4" thick winter boot linning. You know those ugly grey compressed felt liners to make your rubber boots a bit warmer in winter. I just cut discs out with 9/16" dia leather punch. I think one thing should be mentioned here. The bore of this gun is by no means perfect, BUT the rifling is VERY sharp and defined and the crown is VG. I dont think thats hurting any

The quickest load and 100 bench with 65 grs of black and 1 1/8 felt known to man...

There take that. My fouler is 1/8" off paper. But I can live with this for as well as I can see those clumsy V sights

All that matters is that it works, right?

What would one ask for to get that same mould from Mountain?

Now dont hate me for being vague,it's not my intention. When I sit at his online design feature I just plug numbers in till it looks right then hit submit. What I do have is my paypal payment order form from him. If you plug these numbers in on his online thing and have success fine, if you dont I'll do measurements and if need be I'll send one I've cast back to you or Dan to copy from. Wont leave you stuck......
