I am back to the fountain of knowledge to be told what I am doing wrong again :-(
Bought a Lee 6 position 55 grain 223 mold for loading for my AR. I cast up a couple thousand bullets, powder...
Forum: Muzzleloading.
Thanks, it makes sense, I will recast my bullets with soft lead I have lots of that, wasnt aware I needed something different for the muzzy.
It was about 6 degrees when I got the bullet stuck...
Forum: Muzzleloading.
I had shot the gun the day before my stuck bullet situation, and cleaned the gun right after shooting. This was the first bullet down the hole after cleaning, though I dont usually clean between...

Still fairly new to the muzzy's. My great plains hunter 54 caliber has been fun but I havent shot it much yet. I bought a box of 20 rounds of the 425 grain great plains bullets. They went in and...

I quit shopping at bimart when they went anti 2nd amendment. They refuse to sell any ammo to anybody less than 21 years old. I dont much like discrimination, age is a protected classification, and...

I have been pouring lead for decades, mostly fishing stuff, used a soup can bent up with a pour spout and a vice grip holding it for about 40 years. I bought a 20lb lee drip o'matic a year ago and...

I welded up one from 1/4 inch plate and it works well, We have shot it with 22lr, 9mm, 357 mag, 45 with no signs of damage, I think it could take a lot more punishment than I throw at it.

Just had my first primer go off when hand priming a brass. It wasnt going in well, I knew something was wrong, sideways or what ever, and didnt want to tear it apart to get the brass out of the shell...

I paid $120 for all the lumber, there is quite a bit more than shown in the pics. A local lumber broker recuts lumber and sells pallets of it pretty cheap. Nice that it stacks tight to shoot into.

Loaded about 275 rounds of 300 Win Mag, and deprimed what I am guessing is about 3500 223Rem/5.56 in prep to debur primer pockets

Enjoyed this read,,,
My rockchucker has been priming all my shells one at a time for 25+ years. Its a pain to load them one at a time to prime, but I always knew it was in the casing. Keeping...

loaded 40 rounds tonight, 4.4 grains and 1.115 OAL, every round went thru the gun perfectly, slide open at the end of each magazine. Seems they were a bit long for this gun. I think I have the...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thanks for the thoughts I will try to shorten OAL. It seemed like the easiest adjustment to try first.
I will also back off the powder to 4.4 grains.

Hope this is the correct forum, there are so many forums on this page sometimes it is hard to tell where to ask the question.
Having some failure to battery issues with cast bullets. Not sure if...

I recently built a bullet trap. It has had 500 hits plus or minus (9mm and 45) to date and shows no sign of damage. 1/4 inch steel.

I have to admit I wasnt aware some lubes didnt like BP. I looked at the forum with lots of recipes, and dont know what drew me to Bens Red, but it was the one I chose and mixed up. Got a lifetime...

Kind of new to ML, I picked up a Lyman Great Plains Hunter a while back. I have shot it a bit and am trying to figure out how to carry all the parts and pieces to make it go bang while in the woods ...
Forum: Muzzleloading.
I finally got out and made some smoke for the first time with the new gun.
First off that set trigger, really makes the front trigger light. I am guessing less than a pound. Barely touch it...
Forum: Muzzleloading.
Gunny, I drew next to nothing, hope you got a good hunt. I have been trying to decide which powder to start with. Picked up most of the supplied I need except powder, hopefully smoking soon

I was walking the aisles at a local gun show Saturday and found a Great Plains Hunter 54 caliber laying on the table. Guy told me it was his buddies and it has been shot twice. [smilie=1: I am...

Again, thanks to those who share their wisdom

Thanks for the thoughts so far. I have no desire to go play dress-up at the Rendezvous, [smilie=1: I just thought I could look at some muzzleloaders there. It would be cold day down under when...

I have never owned a Muzzleloader. :roll: Lots of guns and hunting, just not a smokepole. A few years ago I used 11 years of preference points for a quality NE Oregon deer hunt and borrowed a...
