Jhunter, measure your balls and use the three smallest diameter balls you have and report back. Hopefully you can find three .599 and under, I would be interested to know how that turns out for you....

To the OP, I had problems with groups when I first started loading the tri-ball. I have one question, what are the balls measuring when you "mic" them. My .60 mold was dropping them at .611 !! ...

My .500 Jeffery in a synthetic stock weighs 8 pounds, I shot a few 600 grain Woodleigh's at 2400 fps. It was very memorable. I put my wood stock back on to bring the weight back up to a tolerable 12...

Longbow, I just wanted to put my 2 cents in. I was looking for a custom size round ball mold and having a hard time finding one. Then someone recommended Larry Callahan (he is a super nice guy), he...

It did look like it was about to be dropped from production so brass might become an issue.

I just want to bring up a point on group size. Early on I was having trouble getting all three balls to group well, I thought I was ok, I was using a .600 mold and slitting the wads to the bottom,...
Sorry about that. Larrys site http://bagmolds.com/ does anyone else have or use one, I would be great in the field.
I ordered my first bag mold last week, I heard about a guy that makes them, Larry Callahan. I needed a custom size round ball and he makes any size you need. I didn't have high hopes for this super...

I use the Craftsman gun, I find the best powder is red. I don't know why but of all the colors I have tried it gives the best coverage by far. I also use tin foil on my tray, when I pull them off the...

I want to try pc on maxi balls for my Black powder rifle. Its an old .54 cal cap lock. Has anyone tried it yet? Do you think the pc could take the place of bore butter?

Thanks Jailer, I'm going to give this PC a try and see how it works. I have some real long bearing surface bullets I cast and I'm interested to see how well it works.
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Jailer, are you saying put a gas check on a non lubed, non powder coated boolit and run it through the sizer?
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
I have a question I can't find the answer to, for gas check bullets how do you size them? with lube then wipe off?, with no lube? or if you PC first then size will the GC still fit on the base? I'm a...

Around here the going price is $40 for a 5 gal. bucket.
I use it when called for in a load, I never thought of it increasing velocity, I though it was to reduce pressure. I would like to hear others experience with dusted wads.

I cast .44 caliber and up, so all of my rifles shoot wide flat nose boolits. It is my experience that a flat nose cast boolit is extremely effective when hunting. All shots are under 150 yards It's...

Old Lady, if I had to guess.
And that's sounds like a great day to me!
Thats good to know, I just ordered two of sharp shooters molds, one 000 Buck and 0000 Buck. I can't afford to buy buckshot anymore. $34 for 8 pounds! The world has gone mad!

Without a doubt. After a range session you can find me digging for my boolits in dirt bank. I always carry my E-Tool in the truck.
