I'm just making sure that pushing that patch into the rifling will not cause any issues. I know with full copper jackets you don't want them into the rifling. I'm just making sure I can do that...

+1 Lee 310gr is a great boolit. Probably my favorite for my 44 for full power loads. Also works great in my marlin lever. You can get started with a small lee pot and mold for the price of probably a...

I'm using 231 and unique in my 38s. Keep my clays for 12ga. As for trail boss, I got 2 bottles about 3 yrs ago. One still full and tried 20rds in a 30-30, wasn't impressed so it sit waitin to find a...

Bhn is a factor but proper boolit size to bore ratio is very important i have found. You want. 001-2 over groove diameter. As for bhn you want the boolit soft enough and maliable enough to deform on...

Hello all. I got alot of lead from an old buddy of mine. It is all cast into various small ingots and he doesnt remember whst it is made of but definitly no zinc. I have my lee tester and tested a...

Hey the way i see it. My wife has paid more for a picture than i am for my jukar so if nothing more it would be a wall hanger. Polish up the brass and brighten the wood and she will look great over...

Very interesting thread you have goin here. I'm gonna try to keep an eye on this one. I am just waiting to pick up my 45 cal cap lock. Looks kinda similar only with plain old Woodstock no fancy...

And +1 on no water quench. I used to we everything I cast, and I am using a 50/50 of we and range scrap. Now I air cool everything. Harder BOOLITS led to more problems. Stopped the water and bingo...

1 No...sometimes no sizing required........slug your barrel
2 Tried lla, didn't really like it, bought a lube sizer and also do panlubing

Depending on price id definitly be interested in a 45acp 230gr rn or tc mold.

Sorry just got off work when i posted. Ill ammend that post yes definitly win296 or h110............231 would make a big bad bang.

I have the same rifle. Same make model.caliber as yours with micro rifling. Ive had horrible luck with 245ish grain bullets. Either cast or jacketed. I get so so results with jacketed 240gr and no...

Get things warmer bud. I like to cast hot generally. I dont mind frosty bullets at all. The base need to be good. No ripped sprue and a nice sharp bottom. Small defects on pistol bullets for...

Depending on the size of the bore in your mosin that 120gr boolit works great in it as well. I beagled my mold up to about a. 312 now and my mosin love that boolit with about the same load of unique...
