sounds good, I'll post pictures when I get started

nope, just my awful spelling

would 1 in 18 work for round ball too?

does he have a thread about it?

I'm currently stocking up tools and materials for an under hammer pistol
I want to use the round ball and conical molds I already use for my rifle, so I'm looking to match the bore and groove...

I'm afraid you're a little late to the party, had my press set wrong.

I'll make a small run and give these a try, if they work, I've got a fair few. if not, I'm only out a couple bucks in shot and powder

one on the left *is* a gold medal
the right one is the type in question

isn't that an eye doctor? i'm not sure that would help

I moved recently and while unpacking my gun stuff I came across my weaver j2.5 scope. the bell was dented and the lenses were damaged.

now that I think about it, didn't husqvarna make a 32-20 in a 71 action? model 25?

thats closer, but its far to crude and plain for a schilling

the color case hardening was done by the smith, I have no idea what the original finish was

I bought a rifle action off a gunsmith
