I load a 525 grain postell bullet over 23.0 gr AA5744. It chronos at around 1129 fps and is pretty pleasant to shoot. I shoot 40-50 rounds in the coarse of a match. Accuracy is pretty good as well.

Just checked back with SL and orders are closed again. Just ordered some a couple days ago. I will have a few to part with if/when my order comes in.

Starline is taking backorders for 44-40 at this time. Not sure how long it will take to ship, but you should get some ordered now!

Got a new GM .58 cal barrel and need a RB mold for it. Willing to try anything from .562 through .570. Shoot a PM if you have one to sell. Looking for a Lee or Lyman (just not a bag mold).
Thanks!

First thing I'm going to do with the new barrel is run the bore scope down and have a look. I'll post a pic of the new barrel for comparison. It's really amazing how much the bore scope magnifies the...

Thanks, but I have a new barrel already on the way from Lyman.

I tried a long list of online stores (including the ones mentioned above) and nobody had a lefty GPR barrel in stock. So I contacted Lyman and they too had no .54 barrels but they were able to find...

I have a 100 pc bag of new Starline 45LC in nickel for $40 shipped.

Sounds like fun, but I put way too much effort into refinishing the stock to risk blowing it up! Might even loose my range privileges if someone saw what I was up to....[smilie=1:

Yeah, I bought it new from Sportsman's Warehouse back 11 years ago. I looked at Optics Planet, but they are only taking back-orders now. Lyman doesn't have a direct replacement available in inventory...

I purchased this barrel around 2010 so it's not part of the more recent breech plug recall. Yeah, there's no way of knowing how deep the crack goes but there's no external hint of the crack. I've...

Maybe, but barrel staples and attachments would have to relocated. I'm looking for a replacement that I can just brown and drop in.

Looking to replace a cracked barrel on my Great Plains Rifle. It needs to be LEFT HAND percussion in .54 cal. This is the slow twist round ball barrel. Let me know what you got!
Thanks
Found one,...

Ha ha. After this I will be carefully scoping ALL my barrels periodically. I wish I had scoped this barrel 10 years ago when new. I have no idea when this crack started or how fast it's progressing....
Forum: Muzzleloading.
The crack runs roughly perpendicular to the rifling (bright diagonal lines). It's a little hard to distinguish the lands from grooves b/c the circular mirror is so small. I wrote Lyman today to see...

Felt my Lyman barrel was fouling up to easily and decided to give it a thorough cleaning including a scotchbrite polish job I read about this forum. Well after cleaning I decided to run the ol' bore...

I have these two I don't use anymore:
Lee 457-405-RF
Lee 457-405-HB
They have been used once maybe twice. I'm casting the 535 grain NOE Postell copy for all my 45-70 these days. According to my...

I buy the expensive $3/lb lead from Rotometals and cast .530 RB's with a Lee mold for about $0.10 a piece. Smaller calibers are much more economical. Lee molds are great for RB's, but at the moment...

It looks like I found one - thanks to Good Cheer!
Thread closed!

Chuck, thanks but 533 it just too small. It's got to cast at least .539 to be useful in my GPH. The Lyman is supposed to cast .542. That would be a little hard to push down the tube, but in my...
