He must be from Canada. We are able now to get some cheap surplus and new manufactured ammo in that cal now.

Jim Flinchbaugh- On one of my previous post, in the thread a couple of people had listed walmart as the source of crumb rubber.

+1 on that, My good friend owns a small roofing company, and if I (and him I guess) wasnt going to be shooting the lead it would go with all the garbage. There was about 10-20 copper drains that went...

oh yes it would be used in conjunction with a sand berm that is allready dug into the hill side at the range.

JIMinPHX- That is pretty awesome little trap. I think Ill have to try that. You've already proved it against the lee slugs that ill be shooting, Ill have to just test it against some of our(Im in...

After looking on about rubber bullet traps, a thread from a wile ago, JIMinPHX, sheepdog and a few others, appears that they done some extensive testing with a few types of traps and one seems like...

wow, it looks like your bullets have been spun on a lathe instead of swaged.

An Idea I had thought of a few years ago was a barrel cart with a 55gal drum on it filled with sand, but a lighter alternative was some chipped rubber I had available to me from the plastics factory...

Freyr_255- Hey brother from the nutz, good to see another Canuck in our midst now that u have found CastBoolits.

for what ever reason there is allmost allways a small burr on the core pin. I have both molds and the first thing I did was check that for a little piece hanging. after smoking with a bic, smooth...

I forgot to post my result of my shooting on the 21( the end of the world day :grin::grin:)

Good to hear, I have some alright results with a similar method of loading.

I am curious as to your description of your results. What does " 1st5 ¾” " mean, this is that distance from point of...

Unreal.
What is the distances shot at and what is the size of the group?
I think that choke might be a full, that reads close to my full choke at .701.

Interesting results, mine were similar. The top ball has a significant flat much like it were a musket ball. I never really thought about having them separated for the tops and bottoms, for different...

I have put them in the melter within a couple of day of being on the roof.

Wile I have not done this as I have no roof of my own to do so, My good friend owns his own roofing company, and on a couple of jobs I had worked at with him, there was roofs that had zinc strips...

turbo1889- Thankyou for the very good break down. I was curious but didnt know what to say about the "jump" cause it did bounce but how. How long did it take for you come to this conclusion.

hey its Y-man, good stuff, I had bit of inspiration from your work, I do a simular thing to you but got a lee mold and shoot that instead.

OP- I know from using a musket that a ball can be...

Hey u copied my idea,jkjk looks good, I have an exact copy of that sans handle though that is a good idea, but I added legs so I didnt have to bend over too much to pour, My billets are 6" long and...

after all that effort, I would say get a new stock. Of course if it had been a rare stock/hard to find gun then he probly should be hit several times with the remaining pieces.

HollowPoint- Is this tool heated by a torch or just dipped into the separate pots before u "pour" like a regular ladle?
