Thanks Longbow. I'll stick with the tiny 780 grain mould and start with small game like gophers until I gain confidence in taking on big game.

I press calibrate, then when it’s asking for 0 and with nothing on the scale and it’s stable I press calibrate again. Then it asks for 50gram weight, I lay it in the scale and wait for it to be...

Brown Bess cleaning rod. I will look into that. I am pretty close to making this purchase. Do you think my copper powder funnel with the various spouts could do the job for loading in the field? ...

Ok good info. Thanks. I would still like to hear from anybody who has this specific rifle though. For example, how much powder behind that round ball? What kind of accuracy should I expect? I...

I plan on moose hunting in Newfoundland with it. I go back every fall for the hunt.
I guess I would have to build a ram rod. Maybe a hardwood dowel with a 50bmg brass end for the pushing? The...

Thanks.
I wish I had some Unique or Bullseye, and gas checks - but all I have is the surplus WC735.
If anybody has an H322 or H335 load please let me know.

I have several Lee Enfield's in .303 British, and a Mosin Nagant 91/30 in 7.62x51 so I may be getting ahead of myself but the price is right at $20 so I figure I can't go wrong.
Ok, after...
