I don't know of any current production .50-110 WCF rifles (maybe some of the custom Sharps makers but they will not have the slow express bullet twist). Your best bet would be an Encore with a custom...

Hi all,

My father and I just got a Turnbull-restored Winchester 1873 in .38-40, and want to try some BP loads for it. Neither of us have shot BP in cartridge rifles before, so this is new...

Hi all,

My father and I just picked up a Turnbull-restored original WRACO 1873 in .38-40 and were thinking about trying out some blackpowder loads. It has a new 24" barrel, so the bore is mint...

I purchased a box of .358 wadcutters from them, in 12 BHN. They seem to be well made, although I'm not sure if the coating was properly applied. After the smash test, I could see the coating cracking...

I have no experience with them yet, but I do plan to be picking up a box of these once my S&W Model 12 is fixed:

Rocknroll, what bullet alloy are you casting from, and about what BHN do you reckon your bullets are ending up at?

Also not trying cast any doubts here however I can't help but notice some of your...

Their website claims that most of their bullet molds are proprietary designs, although you could probably get very similar designs from other makers. The main reason I was looking at them was due to...

What lube are you using for your full power loads? Those are some pretty impressive numbers on the plain base boolits.

Also, do you have a general idea of what BHN your high power alloy is running?

I've never run into a problem with it, but I'll be sure to keep an eye out. If nothing else, I don't particularly mind single-loading the rifle if I'm at the range.

I'm not even going to ask what load you're using :veryconfu

Alright, I'll be sure to keep an eye out when making ladder loads. The 25 wadcutters out of the revolver seemed to leave the barrel clean.

At the moment, I don't have time to get started in casting to due other factors like college, flying, and misc. hobbies, but it's definitely something I've considered.

Trying to order some but I...

I suppose I'll just have to pick up a box or two of some various bullets and see how fast they can go. About how many rounds will it take before I start to see leading? If a load is going to lead...

Hi everyone,

I was looking at purchasing some of Stateline Bullets' Cowboy Action bullets for my .38 Special revolver.

Do you think I would be able to push the velocity up much higher than 1500? Obviously, I'd start low with the cast bullets but eventually try and work my way up towards the jacketed velocities I was...

I found the Thompson Blue lube for sale on Midway; reviewers seem to think it's about the best of the commercial hard lubes, so it looks like it should be a decent choice. I think I'll give a carton...

Both the BP and smokeless bullets appear to be cast with the same mold, and they're both listed as 12 BHN. The thumbnail picture is even the same. My guess is the only difference is with the lubes...

For my 158gr loads, I'm using the maximum allowable charge of Vihtavuori N110; if memory serves right it's 15.9 grains. On a side note, N110 is about the cleanest powder I've ever seen. After 100...

Hi everyone;

Was browsing Missouri Bullet Company's site this morning, and I noticed they have both "Black Powder" and standard versions of several of their .38 Special bullets. Does anyone know...

Isn't there a maximum velocity limit on RMR's platings? I'd looked at their stuff before, but I think I decided that for the lower speeds I might as well with regular or HiTek coated lead loads. I...

Thank you to everyone who's replied, I appreciate all your suggestions.



Dragon, is that bullet with a plain base or a GC? Also I believe MBC says they use Thompson Blue hard lube with all...

Hi everyone;

My father and I are fairly active shooters and reloaders, and due to the rising cost of jacketed bullets I've been looking into trying some commercial cast boolits before potentially...
