Anybody have a simple way to slug a Spanish Mauser bore? I just acquired one in pretty good condition and the bore seems to be in excellent condition. Does anybody have any pet loads for this rifle?...
Probably a dumb question but is Paul Jones still making molds? :oops:
Just curious why would you want to cast a 177 pellet as there are so many brands and varieties out there that are very cheap? E.g. Pyramid Air has a deal that if you buy four tins the of pellets the...

Thanks guys for the advice. I tried to get some pics but the camera wouldn't focus that close. As mentioned above I did not use a blow torch but it was a benzomatic supplied torch. I think it is okay...
