You've got plenty of people giving you loads of solid advice in this thread. So I don't really have anything to add other than welcome to the crazy world of muzzleloading! And sweet deal on that...

Shamelessly copied this from somewhere on the interwebs somewhere and saved but don't recall the source. Plagarism I guess...

In an over powder wad we are usually looking for a bit oversize to...

The punches showed up today! Needed to cast a few round balls first but wad punching is next.

I don't know about FM, but I have the 1/8" hard felt from Duro Felt. I lube with mink oil from Track of the Wolf.

Ordered on April 4 and the estimated delivery date is between April 26 and May 17. I'm not even tracking the package anymore because I want to be surprised when it shows up! [emoji1]

Nice. I ordered some felt from Duro Felt and some hollow punches off Amazon. Turns out the punch set was a direct ship from China so still waiting...

Geez I'm doing a terrible job of reading today... 80gr Pyrodex P right in the video description. Still using veg wads or did you switch to felt?

Yes, that's a pretty fun video to watch. Impressive for sure. Care to share your load data?

Just how hard is chilled lead shot? Sounds like this is an option worth pursuing because I also feel like REALs cast from pure lead are a little small for my bore.

My guess is he's referring the April 2010 issue for 44mag. Buffalo Bore lists the T/C Contender as a suitable option for their +P+ 340gr ammo. So I think it's safe to say the Encore will handle the...

I'm not a lefty, but my father is cross dominant. Of all the rifles he owns, the only one he bothered to buy in a left hand model is his 54cal Cabela's Hawken. I don't think I'd want those caps...

Reviving an old thread...
I happen to have broken the lid on one of my t/c speed loaders. It's found a new purpose! Used this method to extract a set of REALs and also some old Maxi Balls. They are...

I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one using this highly reliable and precise method for testing hardness! :)

It's also pretty much spot on with the linked article below from SPG. I'm only casting for my muzzleloader currently but this is the method I use to lube my 380gr Lee REALs. The only difference is...

I'm going to give FM's speed loader method a try, but here is a link to SPG's website and there is a downloadable PDF article on pan lubing at the bottom of the page that I found very helpful....

I was going to post something similar to pietro. It's not like this is a new gun or your first rodeo. Seems some new or changed variable has entered the equation. Outside of some environmental factor...

That sounds like what I'm experiencing, so maybe they're fine. Takes a pretty decent effort from my starter to get them in but then they go down smooth.

Let us know how the harder lead works out. I've had the same thought about the REALs staying put on the powder charge while hiking around the mountains. Seem to load real easy, almost too easy...

Thanks!

Do they make those nipples with a 6-.75mm thread for Investarms rifles? Not seeing that as an option on my quick Google search. I did see today track has the hot shot nipple in stock for my rifle....

Cool videos. Thanks for posting. I used to use a hot shot nipple but was having trouble finding them to match the threads on my rifle. I've been using the standard ones from Lyman for a few years...

[QUOTE=triggerhappy243;4334137]Cool. Thanks. My Dad and I used to shoot the 54cal Maxi Balls quite a bit before T/C quit making them for the masses. My little Sporterized rifle loves them and so does...
