deltaenterprizes: went to the website you recommended. Thought it was a homerun. A fellow named Tom Basile calls himself the pellet man makes dies for swaging lead pellets. Posted his phone no.

My son enjoys shooting Dakrats (Dakota prairie dogs) with a powerful .22 cal. air rifle. He has been shooting a 28 gr pellet @ 900 fps with great success out to 65-75 yds. Now he would like to mould...

Was there Sat. and Sun. Really looking for a good deal on a .38 or .357 wheelgun. Prices seemed high to me, so didn't buy. Did pick up several ammo cans though.
Can't believe how many cans I have...

I always wondered what happened to the tons of brass that I have had to police from the ranges Uncle Sugar owns. Now I know.
I just turned in 12 lbs. of .45 ACP to cover my issue. Can you believe...

Bought my MN from a barrel of them in Sears & Roebuck in 1962. It was $19.95. It has killed many deer and groundhogs. Was unable to get satisfactory hunting ammo for it for several yrs. Had to break...

Forgot to mention, that is one beautiful piece of work (your cannon).
I have only shot 6 or 8 International matches. Never at Wolf Creek. My son shot there a number of times as well as Chino, CA...

Doc Sexton is a the greatest. He loaned me guns to shoot air and free pistol on my first trip to Ft. Benning for an International match. He also coached my son when he was stationed at Chas. AFB. I...

Forgot to mention a machinist friend made the barrel for me. Also there used to be up to 100 geese at a time on the pond. This year none. They do learn.

Thanks guys,
What I have found is the 1-1/4" ball patched with a 4"square of lubed denim works great when a 35mm film tube has .050 cast balls set like 000 buckshot. Two north & south, then two...

Here is the muzzle view (and a couple more) just taken. Bore is 1-3/8". Fires a 1-1/4" dia. ball. Cleaned her up good once this season, but needs help again. BP is nasty to deal with. Lots of kudos...

Attached I hope you will see one of my cannons. The barrel is 58 lbs. of brass. It fires a 1/2 lb cast ball (3,500 gr). Wheels are 22" dia, barrel is 22". Yes the grease zerk does lube the axle. I...

After several dozen patches (only a few out the bore) using JB compound and the traditional cleaning, I was able to get a three shot group down to .392" using 42 gr of reloder 15 pushing that 280 gr...

I already have rifles that shoot sub MOA. Now I am working with this one and would like for it to at least shoot MOA.

A good friend (high master rifle shooter) described lapping as others have described polishing in this thread. The barrel has no restrictions, I simply want better groups. My best groups with cast...

Planning on lapping a rifle barrel in the hopes of increasing accuracy. Have been told that bon-ami may do as good a job as JB compound. Anyone have any experience with this?

The rifle is a Remington 700, 22" barrel with the classic stock. I don't have the twist rate.
The bullet comes from Lyman's 358009AV two cavity mold.

I have now miked several of these bullets as cast. They remain .3575 for the most part. If I happen to measure where the two halves of the mould come together it increased to .3580-.3590, the sizer...

I have "miked" quite a few of the sized bullets. They run a pretty uniform .3575. My Star sizer is supposed to be .358 and is just two yrs old. I will mike some as cast and see if they too are .3575...
