I just ordered the same rifle. Ever develop a good combo for it?

I might try a plastic wad, I get reasonable accuracy to 50 yards with the 7/8 oz Lee in my 870’s in a plastic wad. I would prefer to try a patch first, I’d like to keep it old school as much as...

I agree, I can’t wait for things to warm up, it’s my first go at black powder and muzzleloading. I’m pretty exited. Any advice that anyone would surely be appreciate

I just purchased a Pedersoli shotgun in 12ga. Both barrels measure .714” at the muzzle, they are stamped 18.3. I was wondering if anyone had tried Lee drive key slugs in these with a lubed patch. I...

I tried a slight alteration to my loads today, a lubricated patch. Results were good. Accuracy is very good out to 30yards, good to 50 yards, that is however the limit as most balls fall within a 5...

See my last post. “ paper patched round ball”All results are there. I’m pretty exited with the results. I had a few groups at just under and just over 4” at 50 yards

I had good results today with cloth patched .690 round balls. I would hunt with that load to 50 yards no problem. I will try lubed patches soon.

Thanks, it was only 5 shots so yes I have to prove it again and again. Maybe a fluke. If I can get consistent groups at 50 yards I will be very happy. For me the round ball loads are a fun round for...

Ok, some preliminary results, I paper patched some .690” round ball. Two loads gave me descent accuracy. I cut the petals off the wads, 22.5 grains of Universal, 209 primer and paper patched in wax...

Prayers sent, I've no doubt, things will go well

Hi, I’m going to try to paper patch my .690 round balls, anyone ever try it?

Thanks, for the advice and well wishes. Some folks tell me the Lee buckshot mold won't fill properly unless you use pure lead. I was hoping to use the birdshot to make buckshot, do you have any...

Hello, I'm new to the group. I used to cast a lot for handgun and rifle but gave it up years ago. My youngest boy is interested in reloading so I've been showing him the ropes. We ended up getting...
