If you don't mind which Accurate Molds are you using for 9mm? I'm looking for something around 135 gr for a Browning Hi-Power and a CZ 75.
Big fan of Accurate molds by the way.

For a 405 gr bullet I like the Accurate 46-405M. Tell Tom forward of the crimp groove must not exceed .456 as in the drawing. Bullet should drop behind the lube groove at .460 and you size to .459....

On my Browning 1886 SRC I have a side mounted peep sight from DW Battle sights. Solid steel like the old Lymans. If interested Google them. No connection, no idea about current costs. But its...

Some great photos in this thread.
I buy what I like and shoot what I buy. I have no way to display antiques though I think it would be cool to own some nice original 1800s Winchesters as they...

Well I now have this rifle in hand and I've shown it to a couple of folks who's gunsmithing experience is better than mine and none of us can see any hint of alteration to this 16" barrel B-92. I'm...

Those Browning Miroku made rifles are top shelf. Ive picked up a few over the last three years. I think an excellent condition rifle, 26" octagon, could be had for 1700 + or -. The SRC can be...

Hello fellow lever gunners,
I just bought off of G'Broker a Browning B92 .357 mag with a 16.5" barrel. My question to this group is has anyone ever seen or heard of Browning making this model...

Right now it breaks like a competition trigger. Maybe thats what the former owner was aiming for. Its a Browning so i dont have any rebounding hammer to deal with.
Currently it leaves a decent...

I picked up a beautiful Browning 1886 rifle, octagon barrel, which has been modified by Turnbull. Specifically the barrel and mag tube shortened to 20", stock refinished in a really nice Winchester...

Recommend the Accurate 46-405M. Tell Tom forward of the crimp groove must not exceed .456 as in the drawing. Bullet should drop behind the lube groove at .460 and you size to .459. OAL should be...

Congratulations on the rifle! I also have a Browning 1886 SRC as well as the full size Browning 1886. They are my favorite rifles to load for and shoot. They do have no throat so finding the right...

This is a tough one. Browning 1886 in 45-70 is my favorite big bore lever and got my vote. I love the action, accuracy, look and feel of that rifle. And it can be loaded up or down for almost...

Saeco #017 45 Caliber (458-459 Diameter) 350 Grain Flat Nose Gas Check. This one loads well in both my Marlin 1895 Limited (NOT microgroove) as well as my Browning Miroku 1886, drops at .459, shoots...

I 'm using a brand new Accurate 260-405M PB and 460-355N GC combo mold. I've never bought a custom mold before and I'm just flummoxed at the higher quality of the Accurate mold.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thanks all for the information and your experiences. After reading a lot, measuring, making dummy rounds, etc., for me the answer is.459. .460 will not chamber reliably. .458 on a gas check works...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Well I did a better search and in fact there is a ton of stuff on 45-70 diameter. Lots of opinions. I think I will be fine at .461 but of course anyone wanting to make me smarter is welcome.
Forum: Cast Boolits
What is the maximum and optimum dia. folks with experience are using on their cast 45-70? I'm casting for 355gr GC and 405gr no GC for two Browning 1886 rifles, a SRC and a full size rifle, and a...

Tom at Accurate molds tells me 105% of his 45-70 shooters shoot Marlins so I guess thats why I've gotten no replies.

Does anyone have any experience with using the Accurate 46-400M mold with one of these Browning Miroku 1886 rifles? I also have a Marlin 1895 LTD V that Im sure would chamber this boolit but with...

Bob,
great info. If I can get an OAL of 1.610 I'm golden. By the way i just slugged the barrel and i got between .429 and .430 depending on how I held the slug. So Im hopefull with this Browning....

Hi all,
I've been reading the archives on how difficult it can be to get cast boolits to cycle reliably and be accurate in these guns. I'm looking at a Saeco 424 as it appears to have a short nose...
