Hey Guys,
I've seen in a few posts hardening boolits by dropping them in water when hot? I would think this is dangerous, possibility of water splashing into the mold cavity and pouring molten lead...

yeah man, i'm with you. I should have stated the balls as cast from a reliable source, I use only pure lead for my ML rd balls. I did know an old gent that shot wheelweight alloy, he was a top...

I been shooting & casting rb for over 30 yrs. In the early days I experimented with "wrinkled" balls from first poured when mould was not hot enough. I shot these out of an Uberti santa Fe hawken...

a Diana LP8 will get you well over 650 fps . its a break barrel springer. advertised at 700+. its a beast. I have a Air Force Condor ss in .25 1100 fps no problem for my max horsepower.

I have shot my friends Gamo .22 gas piston can't think of the name now, it is break barrel but has a magazine . shoot the pellet , break the barrel & another pellet is loaded when the barrel is...

the sabot is the shoe that holds the bullet and rides on the lands & grooves give spin to the projo.

my guess, an original plains rifle in percussion, doubt its a conversion because very few if any half stocks except English sporting rifles were made in flint ignition.the very thin lock mortise...

I have never tried them, I shoot patched rb.
However i will say that ml projectiles depend on the rifling & twist to maintain accuracy. Lee reals are riding the grooves and other picket balls do...
Forum: Muzzleloading.
for what purpose are you using over powder wads in a rifle? they serve no purpose. wasted effort imho.
Forum: Muzzleloading.
its normal, the fragments shouldn't be a bother since the hammer cup should direct them down and away. You are wearing safety glasses aren't you?
I would stay away from "mag" caps especially if you...

Forum: Muzzleloading.
the position looks ok, the hole doesnt look too big either imho. better bigger than smaller. Put a feather quill in the hole when loading or a toothpick to keep the powder in if you think you have...
