Thanks lightman. I thought that's what I had but wasn't sure.

I have a little more than 50 pounds of type metal and am not sure of what it is. I was someone could tell me by looking at a picture.

Here's the load data from the TC Hawken manual.

In general are you getting the best results with PC bullets sized the same as lube sized bullets or do you size them larger or smaller for best accuracy?

Thanks for the insight. I am used to using a bottom pour for my 4 cavity molds. I have a smaller pot that I use for straight lead for my muzzleloader balls. It keeps me from emptying out the alloy...

Does anyone use a dipper for a 6 cavity mold. I am casting .490 round balls for my muzzleloader and have been using a Lee 2 cavity mold. It takes a while to cast balls and I use a dipper. I was...

Thanks. I might have to give this a try.

How many percussion caps can you make with one batch of priming compound from 22reloader?

I would recommend reading this book. It should answer most every question about flintlocks. The printed version is out of stock but Amazon has a Kindle version available.

I got my last batch from Stonewall Creek Outfitters.

They take orders by phone.

I am pretty sure 1/8 was just a tad too wide so you will have to thin it down some. I just worked it down with a piece of emery cloth. Brass is pretty soft so it wasn't too much of a chore. Yours may...

I made one out of a piece of 1/8 inch thick brass that I bought at a hardware store. I made it tall and filed it down as I shot it to get a 25 yard zero. I used some Devcon epoxy I had to keep it in...

Thanks for the Fleet Farm connection. My local store has them as well and I bought 1000. That should last me quite awhile.

Yes it could be. How do tell which?

Looks like a Howells for an 1860 Pietta.

I have Navy Arms double barrel shotgun that is chrome lined. I got it in 1971 long before steel shot was mandated for waterfowl shooting so I doubt that is why they chrome lined shotgun barrels.

I just save one dummy round for each bullet and back the seater stem out raise the die and screw the seater stem down till it makes contact with the bullet in the dummy round. That should set it for...

I slugged mine and it measured right at .312. I had a scope on it when I first got it and could get squirrels head accuracy out of a Lyman 311316 and an NOE 315318 using 10 grains of 2400 or 6.5 of...

I prefer the flat blade over the fiber optic. You can always get some fluorescent paint and put it on the blade.

I put Skinner Express sights on my Henry carbine and with my cast handloads I was hitting 3 1/2 inches high at 50 yards with the rear sight all the way down. My load is a 115 grain bullet running...

I don't have any Buffalo Bore 130gr but I've seen reviews where they shot it in Single Sevens. The longest I can get in my Single Seven is 1.50 so the Buffalo Bore has to be no longer than that.

1.53 is about as long as I can get out of mine.

The new.

Monday turned into Wednesday and I finally got it today. I can confirm that 1.5 to 1.51 is about as long as you can go in this gun. My longer loads won't let the cylinder turn. Mine is really tight...

Well it didn't make it here today so it looks like Monday will be my first trip to the range with it. I loaded up 50 Lyman 311316, 25 RCBS 098, and 25 Saeco 325 97 grain bullets all at 1.500. The...
