Tim,
I have been using accurate mold# 42-380-B ( .411 diameter ) in my Ruger #1 450/400 with good results.
The mold was ordered for a double rifle, but fits the ruger chamber almost perfect. When...

Any 300 grain bullet propelled by Trail Boss produces very light recoil. Another option is to contact Accurate Molds and specify a .45 caliber 250 grain pistol bullet @.458 diameter. Earlier this...

I could dip the bullet nose in yellow but most of the tractors around here are green and rust in color.

I went shooting this morning and despite hurricane force winds everything shot good. I took a Ruger M77 .350 Rem Mag loaded with Lyman 358318 coated with John Deere Green and LBT 190 gr LFN coated...

After seeing the good results you folks are getting with powder coating I decided to give it a try. I ordered some Super Durable Wet Black and John Deere Green from All Powder Paint, living in Idaho,...

T-Bird,
Congratulations on your new rifle, it was worth the wait.
I lucked out and found one at Sportsmans Warehouse last fall:bigsmyl2:, it is by far the most enjoyable rifle I own. The rear sight...

I don't know if this will help, but my Miroku 1873 has a 2.2" hole spacing on the tang, I'm not sure what the Uberti's are.
I installed a Skinner barrel mount peep on mine.

I bought a new Winchester '73 last month so my experience with them is pretty limited, but I wont be shooting any full power loads in it. Actually, using it to replace a 22 rimfire makes sense. I'm...

Mooman, I figured somebody here would have one like it. As soon as we get warmer weather I'll borrow a friends rifle and see how they shoot, My .50 is a round ball shooter.
They should make quite a...

I found this mold at a local gun shop yesterday, it looks like an Ohaus mold for a .50 cal muzzleloader. The 3 driving bands measure .511/.512 and the nose is .497 cast with pure lead.

The best design for your rifle will be determined by the amount of freebore and the magazine length, I suggest you contact Tom at Accurate molds. I cant praise Tom’s work enough. Every mold has been...

With a response like that you can remove my name as well.

I have to say that I’m more than a bit disappointed with Al’s new production schedule. The reality is that this mold will never be as popular as the pistol molds and will continue to be pushed to the...

I'll check out the Nitro Express forum and EABCO. I shouldn't complain about accuracy since this gun kicks hard enough to drive fence posts with. It makes my .416 Taylor feel like a .270

I’m using a scope for load development, 1“ at 50 yds is the best I can get with iron sights. I sure wish Ruger would spend a couple bucks extra and put good express sights on the big calibers. This...

Hi all.
Last month I bought a Ruger #1 450/400. The accuracy is consistent but not stellar averaging 5 shots between 2”-3” at 100 yds. I had Tom at Accurate Molds build a 380 grain mold for it,...

Swamp,
I have the Sabatti 45-70 sxs and had no problem finding loads that regulated with 300-400 grain bullets. My rifle really prefers faster burning powders such as blue dot and 2400, Trail boss...

I agree! This is a very accurate bullet in all my .30 cal rifles, my 30/06 has fired 10 shot 100 yd groups that were close to M.O.A. And it is a wonderful small game bullet. I guess most people would...

I think the problem may be that since used molds are nearly impossible to find, too few people know how good this design shoots.
Forum: Group Buy Archives
I'll take a 5 cavity, round nose, gas check, .311 diameter.
Now I can finally retire my single cavity mold.
Forum: Group Buy Archives
The drawing looks good, just like the ones my mold casts.
I'm in for a .311 5 cavity, RN, GC
Forum: Group Buy Archives
I would be willing to pay an extra $10 and I'm sure there will be 15 orders by the time it runs. The 311465 really is a good design and it shoots well, it just isnt a big game bullet, but I shoot...

This is one of the few molds I'd be willing to wait for. Yes I'm intrested. My old single cavity Lyman is just too slow.
Forum: Muzzleloading.
I have several T/C molds and RCBS handles fit. I believe the .54 maxi ball molds cast a 420 grain bullet, give or take a bit and $30 is a pretty good buy.

Mine has a .380 groove diameter and will chamber the longer 2.125" cases. With the open sights it will shoot 1 1/2"-2" 5 shot groups @ 100 yds.
