Thanks for the replies, fellas. The spring broke on the original one and it was my fault. I aske Mike Bellivue on YouTube about it and he says to start filing and fitting too. It makes sense - when...

Hey all ~

I learned a tough lesson last year… I was blazing away with my Uberti 1860 and having too much fun. It fouled and began to balk…but I “only had a few more shots to go…” and I broke the...

Hey fellas - hope you had good luck on the hunting draws!

Question for the Mighty Boolit Masters: I have that new Ruger Redhawk that does 45 Colt/45ACP and it's just a hoot. With the 4.2" barrel...

Hey fellas.

I bought one of these a couple years ago on impulse, thinking I'd probably just flip it once I got bored with it... but unfortunately I find myself having fallen in love with it. It is...

Well thanks a lot fellas! I really appreciate the info.

I am only loading patty-cake target loads with about 5.something HP38. If it gives me book velocities I am happy. Part of my confusion came...

Hey fellas. Can you help me out with a seating issue?

286721

It drops from a Lee mould at .452" at 220 grains. I note that the Lyman manual calls for an OAL of 1.272". I cannot get these to...

I was out yesterday with the Uberti 1860 and just having a ball. I built up a lot of fouling and in trying to cycle the gun I must have broken the hammer hand.[smilie=b:

I am up in Canada and...

Thank you Rigger!!!

I will make mine a tad taller to err on the plus side, and work down from there. The range is a ways away, and filing/shooting at the range would be a pain... so I want to get...

Well fellas - I’m just happier than a pig in the mud! My cast round ball flies like a champ, my paper cartridges shoot like a house on fire, and the secret lube recipe I got from the black powder...

Well thanks fellas.

I will see what I can find at the scrap dealers I suppose. Good grief... I am trying to find bullet moulds and they are unobtanium right now. Everyone is pretty much out!

If I had to critique Cast Boolits, I would be hard pressed to name one single thing wrong with the forum. The guys are awesome and helpful, but on some things - there is a little too much info. I...

Thanks for all the ideas, gents!

I should be good to go now!!!:drinks:

Good afternoon Gents.

I am new to casting and in the past, all my lead has come to me in small, bite sized ingots that go right into my lead pot as slick as can be. Unfortunately my supplies ran...

Yes - but it involves more steps from what I have read. With 50 Alaskan, I am hearing that it is just a quick trip through the 45-75 die and a trim and then off to the range...

Errr - and thanks for all the replies, guys! Have a blessed, Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

Yeah... I found that the case necks thickened up, and that the wall thickness could be squashed back a bit by running it through the die with the expander ball in... but lord, it was tough crank on...

Good afternoon Gents,

I am getting a Ruger No.1 re-barrelled from 25-06 to .243... only because the .25 burned out, and I have lots of .308 brass and time to neck it down. The only problem is I...

Thanks guys.

As for annealing - do you anneal just at the shoulder, or from the shoulder on all the way up the case...? The .45-75 has a very long bottle neck...

I am finally gonna do it. I am going to try and make the 45-75 bottleneck from 50 Alaskan. As far as I know, after much research, it seems as easy as running it through the dies and trimming to...

Hey Good mornin fellas.

I got some fuzzy thinking going on, and I'm hoping one of you can sort me out. Here is what I got:

Modern long range guys I have heard said that things go wonky out at...

Check out Rob at British Muzzleloaders on YouTube. He is a master of the Martini and has lots of great vids up about making ammo

Well thanks fellas! Wish me luck, and same to you in the 2019 season!

Well I’ll be darned.

So... you soak those in water...and push them through the bore between shots instead of blow tubing, right?

I think I saw a fella using those on YouTube...

Hey guys.

I've finally worked up my load for the Uberti 1876 lever in the bottle neck .45-75. I'm burning 32 grains of IMR 3031 which kicks the 350 gr. boolits out at a smidge under 1200 FPS. I am...

Thanks a lot boys!!!

My stuff so far has been *around* 20:1... so I will lean that out to 30:1 and see what happens.

Shoot straight, you guys - and best of luck in the 2019 hunting season.
