Another update:

Project has gotten on the rocks as of lately. It turns out that the chamber reamer I had made is not really going to work for me. This being my first shot at a wildcat, I really...

Thank you, I am working on having a friend run some quickload calculations and I will post the various powder recommendations here when its done. I am currently working with pulled API's for my...

What powder and bullet combos have you been using, bk7saum?

BK7saum, Here is the reamer print that I got from PTG, let me know if that helps.

Well, things have been moving along slowly but surely! My suppressor is in the safe (vers 50), the reamer was made by PTG, a savage long action and a magnum sized bolt head are on hand, and I just...

Thanks! I think I am going to try the NOE plug and the lee die out. I like most stuff I use from Lee.

Since I can't post in the Swappin and Sellin section yet, does anyone out there have a .50-90/.50-70 lyman "M" expander die?

I think I can get one of these to work well for my initial expanding...

Colchester, that looks great! I love that you are able to get a shoulder in there. What are you using for a seating die?

Question for you guys.

What are you using for a bullet seating die for your 50 alaskans and such? Does it work with both cast lead and jacketed?

It seems like I will have to have something...

Missionary- I haven't settled on an exact case length, but I will probably go with 1.8 inch.

Macgyver- I had looked at a .510 wsm, the only reason I didn't do it was I was building on a long...

Current work updates, getting my cases initially cut and then I plan on cleaning them up with a case trimmer.

I just got my 3d printer back operational and so I made up a little sled to hold my...

Thanks so much for the replies, looks like I am going to have a bunch of knowledge to draw from! And the offer of some test boolits is pretty dang nice too! I guess the internet was wrong about you...

This is the project that brought me to this website, mainly because I expect to be shooting a good deal of cast in this gun, even though I will shoot some other stuff in it as well.

The idea is a...

Rapid rob and anyone else who has experience with cartridges like this, I am going to be starting a general thread for this project in the projects section.

I would love to hear from anyone with...

So, a quick update.
I ordered a lee .50 ae 3 die set just to get things going, along with a shellholder (magnum size case head).

First thing I did was use the lee powder thru expander to start...

EDG, does that Lyman 50/70 expander open up the case to .510?

I had honestly thought about just expanding them by seating a pulled bmg bullet for the first load. But it is .03 of an inch worth of...

Hello all,
I am working on getting some dummy rounds made for a wildcat project and I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice.

My project is a 7mm blaser magnum (chosen because I could...

Hey to all, this is my first post, though I have lurked around reading for a while. My experience casting lead as of now is currently limited to fishing weights and my results are not nearly as...
