Just checked, mine has the "DGG" proof also. I will try to shoot it sometime soon and let yall know how it does.

The lands measured .577, so I gues that is good. The boolit should be smaller than the land diameter? That should make for easy loading.

I guess the maker is Lyman, that is what the box and...

With my calipers, I got .586 for the bore diameter at the grooves. Does this sound about right?

Here are some pics

Anyone know anything about these? I just picked one up yesterday and haven't been able to find anything on them online. It is still in the box, supposedly never fired. Any idea as to the value? ...

Never!

That bowling ball mortar is very tempting!

Maybe lead isn't the best choice. Maybe drink cans filled with concrete is a better idea.

Not sure if this is the correct forum, but it is kind of about casting boolits(cannon balls?)

I am looking for a mortar or cannon for just having some fun in a field. I have seen many golf ball...

It is these right here. They came on the rifle. Now I feel like I got an even better deal at $400 shipped:D

BrianB, the alox is a good idea. I've never used it but I think I will try some.

Von Gruff, I definately like the post better than the bead, especially with that white line down the middle.

I had to try out my new Marlin 45-70, so made up some boolits real quick. Took my Handi Rifle also. I was shooting Lee 450-470-F boolits. Both guns have peep sights. I was shhoting at 125 yards....

Well, I got to shoot just a few times the other day. Probably only shot 6 or 7 times total. The REALs did good, and I may just start using them and not worry about a patch. I shot one 3 shot group...

I just got a call from grafs that my CCI LR primers are ready! I ordered 5-25-09, so its been 7 months. After shipping and hazmat, it will be less than $25 per 1000:)

I was using 777. I just did some measuring and the balls measureabout .531-.532, the pillow ticking patches that I bought were TC .018 patches, and the cotton cleaning patches were .013 - .014. ...

Well, I finally got out and shot a few times. Thanks again jack19512 for the boolits!

I only shot .530 round balls, and with the pillow ticking patches I had they seemed very hard to get started....

Thanks for all the input everyone. PM incoming to you jack19512.

The gun is actually in very good condition, even though it doesn't look like it from that picture. The hole you see is one of 4...

I have several questions here, thanks in advance for any help.

I've had this gun for a while now and never shot it, or any other ML for that matter. I want to start shooting it some and work up a...

Well, my alloy did have some of these type stick on's in it:

I casted about 20 air cooled and 20 water dropped from the same pot of...

I just casted a few of these bullets the other day. Water dropped some and air cooled some. I was using plain stick on ww. The air cooled boolits were right at .455, which was too small. The...

I'll take it all, just let me know how much shipping will be:)

I'm pretty new to casting and smelting and am having a hard time deciding if these are lead or not. These melt much quicker than ones marked "ZN" but they have a higher pitch when dropped onto...

You might could turn them upside down and use a propane torch on the pan to drop them out

how did you bring home more than 2500# of lead?

Hey, I found yall a Lee 102 gr 380 mold!
...

The only thing you can really do with a FL die is to unscrew it a little. This will still partially size the case and should neck size enough to work.

I prefer the lee neck sizers, and they are...

Tin cans:confused:
