I made some up awhile ago, really like it for tumbling .30 cal. Have supplies on hand but can't find the recipe I used. Could someone please reply? Thank you.

I acquired a used mould that appears to be warped when looking through the cavity towards the nose with the blocks held together. It has the letter "J" stamped on the short side of the block towards...

The only other thing I would add is to soften up your lube for cold weather and stiffen it up for hot weather. Shooting muzzleloaders in Michigan I learned the hard way. Accuracy goes south real...

Hi!. Today I made up a batch of 45-45-10 and it came out great. I coated some NOE 311299PB bullets per directions. Let dry, ran through my Lee .311 sizing die and tumbled again. Can I shoot these in...

I clean my BP brass in small rock polishing size tumblers using ceramic media and a soap/water combo. Does a great job. I also have a Lyman Turbo 2000 that came with a green colored kernel medium...

I have a real nice M96 Swede so I thought I'd post my question here. I was given a quantity of 6.5x55 brass than is head stamped what appears to be "nny". Does anyone know the manufacturer? Thank...

I have a 73 Springfield made in 1886. It is a beater, no cartouches, no cleaning rod, 13 cuts in the butt stock. I have shimmed the sear to make a nice trigger pull. Problem is that the bore is...

Thanks to all. Sounds good to me. I'll start looking for a box of 110's locally. AND, as I cast for several rifles, I may order a mould , maybe 9mm too!

I have a .38 cal. Colt Cobra 2" air weight revolver that I bought for self defense use in the house and throw in the glove box if I want. I have some Federal Flat Nosed +P ammo that I used to use in...

I have an 1873 Springfield rifle with a pitted bore and chamber. I slugged the bore but the 3 groove rifling is hard to measure. Beagling a Lyman 457125 mould and pouring soft lead, the bullets came...

Thank you, pworley1!!!

I have a Steyr M-96 carbine that I removed the bolt from to slug the bore. When I moved the trigger forward and removed the bolt, I heard a click. I find that now the bolt lugs and extractor do not...

Surprise, surprise! On 12/27 I ordered a 45-420P aluminum mold cut to .443 and expected the 3 weeks plus Holidays delay. Got it in 8 days. Beautiful mold and casts as stated. Thanks, Accurate!

For a future project, is there any preference in purchasing .303 British brass rather than .30-40 Krag to form .38-50 Rem Hep, provided that both are available at a "reasonable" price? Is .303...

Hi, I have an old Rem Roller military rifle sleeved to .38-56 Win. I'm loading 45-55 gr of 2F powder behind the Lyman .375248 249 gr boolit to get an accurate load. The 45 gr charge gets up into the...

You may find that a round ball is more accurate in your revolver than a conical. Slug your bore to determine the proper diameter. Then load powder, insert ball with sprue up or down, not cockeyed....

Yeah, it's 82 gr of Swiss 1.5, but if I use my rubber mouth guard, hold the rifle firmly, and close my eyes real tight, it ain't so bad....

On Sunday, 2/21, I ordered a BACO JIM443530E elliptical on the advice of a fellow shooter. It said "on backorder". OK, fine.
On Friday, 2/26, I see a notice from USPS that my package from BACO was...

Glad to hear you're paper patching. I'm just starting out also. I think most of the answers to your questions have been asked and answered, you just need to go through this "virtual library" to find...

The Italian models were notorious for being tight in the breech, not the bore! My mistake!

First thing you do when you get it, regardless if it's an original 3 groove or sleeved to a 6 groove, or an Italian repo, slug the bore. You will waste more lead, powder, caps and time trying to...

Re: the overprimer wad, I think I read somewhere that it's to retard the primer ignition. I use a .38 cal newspaper wad as it's easier to flutter down in the case with tweezers. A .45 wad gets...

I don't shoot Goex 2F without sifting the fines out of it. Very dirty powder. Your powder performance will change from start of the can to the finish of the can if you don't.

I'm glad I opened this thread. What a wealth of info. As a collage gradiate (1970) I had to google WTH a "prolate sphere" was. It appears to be resembling a rugby football! Anyway, my next order of...

I see on Brent Danielson's website that he has the design of the Gunn-Danielson bullet. Has anyone any experience shooting that design? Are there any custom bullet mould makers who have made that...
