In a pinch, windshield washer fluid. Works wonders, and relatively cheap.

The weight/ volume is different from brand to brand. The size of the kernels, F FF FFG, is different from brand to brand. I would suspect even from batch to batch will differ. By the time you get it...

After being a welder for over 30 years, gloves and glasses are a no-brainer.

Is there an advantage to drop tubing before compressing, or is it just an extra procedure?
Thanks,

I drop my cases into a bottle of soapy water as soon as I get back to the gun cart. Makes a big difference.

What brand of powder is being used?

For what it's worth, just run a patch thru after your string of shots. I use mine on occasion for cowboy action shooting. I am using APP powder, but will be going to "Old E" for this coming season...

My Dad told me that a longer barrel gets you an inch or so closer to the game....

If one moves the gas port selector to not run the action, does that affect shot placement. Tired of chasing brass all over.

After following the Country Gent's suggestions, if at a cowboy match, run a damp patch between stages.
I do that for sure with the double barrel, that way the hulls shuck better.

I'm just concerned about the hardness of the projectile. Stressing the frame. As far as the powder, with an 1851 or 60 ya gotta have smoke!

I have a set of conversion cylinders on the way. Will be using BP loads, does one still need the pure PB for bullets? I have cast WW bullets that I normally use for 45 colt & Cowboy shooting. Those...

Shooting pure lead usually pertains to the muzzle loaders. Mainly because one is using a ram rod. Shooting an alloy that is on the softer side would work just fine. I shoot 20-1. I have shot harder...

I've used some stuff called "Lead Cloth". Boy, it fits tight, but the lead comes right out with it.
Shooting undersized bullets is just going to add to your dilemma..

I use it mainly for SASS shoots, in the BP catagories. Accuracy isn't paramount. Works fine for that, but make sure it gets cleaned immediately! Cleans well with hot water and a little soap, or...

Ran across an Armi Sport "Sharps" .54 cal. Paper cartridge today. Am curious what it would be worth, and am curious about paper cartridge. Never done the paper gig.....yet anyway.

Regular APP works just fine. Why pay extra for Shockey's mug on the container? Same stuff!

One can get fiber wads, over powder wads, and over shot cards from ballistic products. I shoot Cowboy action, and the black will singe the shot shell, making it harder to reload again. Usually, once...

Mine is a 56-50 center fire. Use it for Cowboy action. Not a gun to be shooting for fast stage times, but it is a hoot to shoot and the style points are there. I'm not a real speed demon any way, so...
