Please put me down for one of the 455 HB molds, thanks Stewart. sdennis at ubtanet dot com

A little off topic here but how do you tell a zinc ww from a lead one. I have over 500 lbs of ww's sitting in my shop but I'm not positive what they are made of. The tire guy gave them to me free...

Buffalow Arms has both the empty brass and correct sized slugs as well as loaded amunition for the .43 Egyptian. I've gotten most of my makings from them to put together my .43 Spanish rounds for my...

I always used a spent case from that particular rifle, then seat the bullet in very shallow, use a pair of plyers to squeeze the case neck down just enough to lightly hold the slug, not very tight or...

I have a set of lee 7mm loading dies and they work just great unles I'm trying to seat round nose slugs instead of spitzers. The round nose slugs actually get stuck in the die and pull back out of...

I have a Rolling Block rifle barrel, I purchased it along with the receiver and from from what I tell the barrel is not original to this particular receiver. My problem is trying to figure out what...

Try using a sharp axe and a sledge hammer. Estimate the weight you want, place the axe on the ingot and smack it with the sledge. It works better if you use what I believe is refered to as a single...

I have a ton of brand new ww's and I wish I could trade some of it for soft lead. Well not a ton actually, but probably over 500 lbs. It seems to be very hard so it might be zink, not sure, just...

I have two civil war repros, an Enfield and a Remington Zauave, question I have is about the mini slugs. I have a mold and I've purchase a few off an auction site just so I could get going until I...

Sometimes it can be very difficult to tell the lead slug from small rocks and particles of dirt, ask me how I know this, yup spent half an hour digging around looking for four or five slugs to see...

jim4065 did Frontier Gander say how he got in touch with the guy with the awsome flints? Finding good flints can be a pain the butt when you live so far from any outlets.

I've used both in loading my .45-70 but the best I found was the Cartridge granulation. It just seemed to do better for me, other's may have different opinions of the product.

I used to shoot in our local black powder rifle events some years ago and we could shoot all day without cleaning the bores once and all we used were patches we would stick in our mouths and get nice...

You have to remember that the steal handles are sucking a lot of that heat out of the aluminum mold to begin with so like everyone says, more heat on the mold, if you get too much you will know it. ...

StarMetal asked a good and honest question, my answer is simple. Back in the day the folks who had to rely on a revolver learned real quick that cartridges were a lot better than loose loads and...

I've never loaded for a trapdoor, never owned one so I don't know how it would function with my .45-70 load. I used to own an Italian made sharps rifle. If I can remember right my load was...

Are you going to load with cast bullets or jacketed? With cast the top end valocity will depend on the hardness of the lead. With Jacketed slugs you can go about as high as the particular gun you...

Guesser, the .36 conversions, Colt and Remington are both chambered for .38 Smith and Wesson, but the .36 bore is .375, I think, and the .38 S&W is .357 give or take a little so they are undersize. ...

Want to get me a conversion cylinder for a .36 cal. Remington Navy revolver but understand you have to use hollow base bullets in order to get any accuracy. Is any company out there currantly making...

I don't have any molds to cast regular PP boolits, so is it passable to just patch a grease grooved slug? I am going to try PP some slugs for my .577 Snider and I've never seen a designated PP...

Don't mean to butt in or step on anyones toes. Years ago when I first got into casting for my black powder rifles and pistols some of the old boys told me to be careful of the fumes, not necessarily...

A local tire shop had about 500lbs of wheel weights he got in for large truck tires, but told me he couldn't use them because they were the wrong kind and I could have what I wanted, so I hauled...
