I am interested in a 44 SPL DA revolver to go with my NMBH Bisley Flattop(s). This would be for woods-walking and hunting, no big bears in Mississippi. Primarily "Tier 2" 44 SPL loads, or...

All this math is making my head hurt.

Thanks, that sounds like good advice. I assume when the time comes Rotometals would be the best source for tin ? I'm picking up #240 of the Hardball alloy tomorrow. I guess every area is...
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
My hope was that I could simplify my initial efforts by using this Hardball alloy without messing with adding to it, etc. It will come in ingots ready to cast. As I'm not needing any expansion, I...

Hello all, new to casting and have an alloy question. I contacted a local commercial caster, who was kind enough to offer to supply me with his alloy at a good price (1.50). It is 92-6-2 and 15-16...

Thanks for the reply. 44 SPL will be a new caliber for me, so I'm starting out with all fresh Starline brass, Hopefully won't have to trim. I will have the same barrel length as you, any insights...

So once the gun is here, I can do that test by seating a Keith boolit longer and longer until it sticks, and use that measurement to determine how far forward my band can protrude ? (i already have...

Hi all, new caster here, have a question about different front band styles. I am looking at Accurate Mold's website, so many to choose from ! I am primarily interested in the wide meplat boolits. ...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I had my eye on that 43-219A, but then I noticed the front driving band was reduced (427), what was the reasoning behind that ?
Forum: Cast Boolits
That sounds like good advice, I think I will hold off until I do some shooting with the guns and see what's what. Although NOE does have a copy ("our version") of the LBT 44-240 WFN in stock, I may...
Forum: Cast Boolits
That's the kind of advice I needed. So If I have a 4 cavity mold, I have to cast all 4 at once, I can't just cast the 2 I want ? Does it have to do with mold temperature being maintained ?
Forum: Cast Boolits
I'm thinking my solution may be to have Accurate make a 4 cavity mold, 2 cavities with 80%, and 2 with something wider, then I can try both for essentially the same price. Do any of you have any...

Thanks for all the great information so far, guys ! If Veral were still in business I would just order a 44 240 WFNPB and a 45 250 WFNPB and be done with it, as I trust he knew what he was doing. I...

That one is actually already on my short-list on the Accurate site. It may check all the boxes.

My MP 454-423 just got here. Beautiful piece ! Meplat seems to be ~.33". Didn't include any paperwork whatsoever. I'll have to research how to maintain it and preheat it. My Missouri Bullets for...

Sounds like we are on the same page. What are those two 85% meplat molds you mentioned ? Also, do ya'll know of any company making direct copy of LBT WFN molds ?

That's great news ! My day job is in the medical field. Please stay vigilant and don't let is sneak back up on you.
I just order from him about a week or so ago, my mold is being delivered by Fed Ex today. Ordered from the web site. When I had an issue with the web site taking my card, he responded promptly and...
