    Pedersoli 1853 Enfields

    I just happened to be surfing Cabelas and noticed the Pedersoli 1853 3 and 2 band rifles are marked down by $200.00... If I didn't already have one that's not a bad price.

    I have a few other molds that would drop bullets that would be appropriate, but I want to stick with the flat point as I may just take this Krag hunting. The 311407 does drop larger, so that's a plus...

    Well I started out with the 30-180 sized .310, and have moved that up to .311, so I'm going with .311 on the 311407 for this round. I can always go up if I don't get great results with that.

    It seems odd that the Lee dies should produce a bad fit, if it was in all of a few rifles. I would want to both take a chamber cast and try smoked cases to see just where the area of contact was. One...
