I have 50 140 gr TC bullets from Missouri Bullet Co loaded with Pinnacle to try when the weather warms enough to make it endurable. I took advantage of their 100 bullet for trial offer. I also have...

You'll love this. I'm asking for opinions.

I shoot black powder in CAS.

38 specials in rifle.

I currently shoot Big Lube 38Slims (115 grs on my scale) with black powder compressed 1/8". I'm...

A friend uses candles purchased for pennies at yard sales and Lee Liquid Alox for his black powder lube. Works for him. I tried it and it was a disaster. Hard fouling and poor accuracy.

The petroleum based "wax" currently used in toilet bowl rings is some super sticky stuff. I use it with soy wax and a dab of vegetable shortening in my black powder guns.

Haven't been here in a while.
Here's my problem.
I'm shooting an Uberti 1866 in 32-20 for Cowboy. The only bullet I can find that carries enough lube is an 80 grainer that I don't want to shoot. I...

To render mutton or deer or beef tallow, cut the fat into very small pieces (ground is good) and place these pieces in a cheese cloth bag. Weight the bag so that it stays on the bottom. Cover with...

Just a note. I melted a batch of WW the other day. In the bucket was a strip of "stick ons". I threw them on top of my pot of pure hot lead. To my dismay they did not melt. Instead floated on top of...

I recently scored 240 lbs of dead soft lead for my 1860 Armys. 60 lb ingots from a defunct aerospace company. they called it "grid metal". I've been told that one indication of pure lead is when it...

Used it on Lee molds that tend to get "sticky" after a while. Ran smooth as silk thru 1500 round balls.

Take the turret head out, lightly peen the out side of the top edges of the "locking lugs"that bear on the fixed frame. It's soft aluminum and it's easy to get a nice tight fit. Does this make it...

Look around some of the old print shops. Their linotype melters were large but they also had ingot melters that took the 27# linotype ingots and melted them down to produce 3-3# ingots webbed...

I also discovered the "oil dry/clay kitty litter" for initial processing of wheel weights. I pour a half an inch or so on the top and it seems to absorb the majority of the oils and burning rubber...

Why so many molds? I don't like the one you designed and I can design one that's better.

I have several molds and the single brass one is the best of the lot. Very heavy but the best looking bullets.

I shoot .411 200 gr ww bullets with homemade lube out of single action
Ruger 41 Mag. Blackhawks and a Marlin 1894FG for cowboy action shooting. I try to maintain a velocity/energy level equivalent...

I have just started casting round balls for cowboy pistol shooting. My main source is some #12 shot that I traded for. If it has any alloying material I can't tell it. The metal (after doing some...

#12 was also used by the old English country gentlemen for a sport called garden shooting. Take your small bore double, your bearer, servant with drinks and snacks and shoot butterflies, dragon...

357maximum, I'll try that next.

I recently was converted to the dark side and therefore needed some dead soft lead. A friend had a quantity of #12 shot. He offered to trade it for WW with the understanding that the shot was very...

I know very little aboout the subject but Dan from Mountain Molds has told me he likes to see 60 to 75% of a pistol bullet in contact with the barrel. He also told me that a 70-75% meplat seems to be...

I like W296 with my monster mammal mangler loads (250gr PB Cast Performance).

Accurate #7 for fun type middle of the road and Titegroup for CAS.

Yes, I run 41s in CAS, even the levergun.

I...

I asked a mold maker that we all know about lube on cast bullets and his theory is that the lube acts as an "O" ring, sealing the barrel to escaping propellant gases. The lube must be soft enough to...

I used LA for a while when I first got started but the mess in the dies and the mess around the cylinders of my revolvers turned me off. Yes, I probably used too much.
I never had any leading at any...

I already have a system of 4 bullets hit the handle, 4 bullets hit the handle but I'd like for it to do it for me.
A simple screw adjustment to my device would allow the rachet arm to be closer to...
