LG,

Since you say you have shot with Don, and find him to be a fine fellow. I have not had the privilage but I can see where face to face can sometimes be different than behind a keyboard. You...

Comments like this do the most harm in discouraging new casters who come to this forum for info. Unless you're casting boolits for plinking with your six-shooter where mold fill-out and weight...

Don,

So in your opinion my advice given to my friend was "Really poor and uninformed". I have noticed that on this forum and others that you visit you are quick to "Run Down" other posters who...

I did and found not much meat there for silhouette shooters and the yardages we shoot. I lean towards the "If it's not broke, don't fix it" crowd and the 18 twist seems to work for many shooters,...

I will admit that I live so far back in the woods, I'm usually the last one to hear about the latest fad. I'm not aware of any of the manufacturers using a 16 twist barrel on a rifle one might...

Don, they did not offer to order any other barrel. It was pretty much take the 1-16 or leave it. My friend left it.

A friend of mine has been admiring my C. Sharps High Wall in 45-70 and decided to order one for himself. After ordering up all the extras.....upgrade wood, French Gray receiver, set trigger, sights,...

I spoke with Fred Leeth this afternoon and he said the RCBS "two cavity' handles are what I need. I have a set of the current production RCBS handles and the Pioneer pins are too large for the...

Picked up a Pioneer Products single cavity, nose pour mould this weekend at the gun show and I've tried every handle I have and none fit. This is the mould made by Fred Leeth. I don't have a Lee so...

I have a set of mounts, Burris I believe, that will mount a 1" internal adjusted scope with 40mm objective lens. These are the signature rings with the Pro Mount inserts which are necessary to zero...

Wayne,

This is great news and should boost sales for DZ scopes as some folks don't like to drill a bunch of extra holes in their barrels and may be holding them back from scopeing their BPCR. The...

Fluxed, It would seem you're a bit off the mark with you $50 offer. Based on the glowing rebuttals to my OP I think the a fair price would be a bit below street price, but not much. My opinion of...

As the original poster of this thread, I'd like to add the reason I bought the Pro Melt and what has led me to where I am today. As a newby in bullet casting I have also began BPCR Silhouette...

While I had the "Tech Support" person on the phone I asked if there was a procedure suggested by RCBS to drain the pot for cleaning or changing alloy. She said no. So it's up to the end user to...

The RCBS Pro Melt is the most expensive of the "Big Three" melt furnaces. Street price is about $365 more or less. If you look at the components of a melt furnace you will see: one heating element,...

Goodsteel,

Your comments bring to mind a story from my long past days of shooting rimfire benchrest. Many folks used a Sako action for their sporter class rifle and the barrels were drop in like...

I was able to find this:

For those who may want to check out barrel replacement for their BPCR or long range rifle the choices are slim. In .45 cal. and 32" length (assuming one would cut 1" off each end) GM is the only...

Well, A report is due on my casting learing curve. Got my PID working and I can't imagine casting without one. Temps within two deg. need I say more? I'm pouring a single cavity 535 gr Postell...

Thanks to all who have responded,

The barrel on this rifle is a Green Mountain and you need to see my other thread for my comments on that subject. In speaking with C. Sharps the cost to replace...

Both of these companies supply cut rifles barrels and I would like to offer up an opinion, rather an observation of the two examples I have and my trusty Borescope tool to examine said barrels. Now...

Recently I purchased a C. Sharps in 45-70 off the internet against my better judgement. The seller is a AAA BPCR Silhouette shooter and I felt surely he would know how to take care of a BP rifle. ...

Have recently purchased a C. Sharps 1885 in 45-70 and this rifle is so purty I should get a bonus of at least two chickens on my score where ever I go. :grin: Now I know you want pictures, but...

Here the results of a short casting session today using my new PID. I set the temp at 715 as suggested by a friend and using my new Lyman 535 gr Postell mold, and my alloy has some tin but very...

I tried one of the Piggyback setups back when they were listed in their catalog.......in the 80's I think. The thing was junk and that's why it didn't last long in their catalog. Don't spend any...
