"Oh, what a lucky man he was"
Congratulations on your acquisition. I love to hear when a person acquires a beautiful old firearm that he appreciates, respects and will use.
I have just bought my...

Southern Son - Thank you for the recommendation. It seems you aren't the only one who likes this Lyman bullet. I did a little digging on-line and found the following;

lightman/quilbilly - Good reminders, thank you.
I have decided that it makes sense to sell/trade the shot and use funds to buy lead.
Just makes things easier and simpler.

Thanks Dusty. Will do.

Country Gent - Thank you again for the invaluable information and suggestions.

Thank you all for the suggestions and advise. Since I have had this sitting around for 5+ years I didn't even think of it's retail value.
It seems the best course is to sell or trade for more...

I have about 100 lbs of #7 shot that has been sitting around for years. Given I don't shot trap anymore, the shot is of no use to me.
So, I have been thinking about melting it down to produce .358...

I powder coat 9mm (I shoot thousands of these monthly) but will be lubing my 45-70.
What I do find odd is how few mould makers produce No Lube Groove (NLG) moulds. Seems to me that if 44% of casters...

marlinman93 - Thank you for the suggestion. I will check it out.
country gent - Again, thank you for the very detailed information. I feel liking I'm getting an excellent book of information over...

Country Gent - This is superb information for a newby. Have you considered writing a book "Intro to BP Shooting". I would be a buyer.

I'm looking forward to picking up the rifle tomorrow morning. ...

Hi jednorris - Thanks for your comments. While I don't disagree with your sentiment, if the match organizers outline the match parameters up front, I'm OK with BP only and working within their rules....

Hey smithnframe - Your comment is well made. I have been watching a few Youtube videos and "Gonagain" has put together a couple of excellent videos and he uses a blow tube after every shot. I didn't...

Chill Wills - Thank you for the advice and the reminder of the rifle's history. I'm looking forward to seeing what this rifle can do. Finding a rifle's accuracy potential is the part of shooting I...

Country Gent - Thank you for the detailed info. This will be a great help when loading my own. Clearly I have lots to learn about BP loading but it looks like it will be a rewarding process. Those SD...

This is great Vic. I have never seen this formula before.
Thank you.
Don

Jedman - Thank you for the comments. Like you, I have been to lazy to shoot BP but I want to give it a try and nothing is better than a 45-70 to get started.
Bill - Sounds like the Accurate 46-500D...

Country Gent..............
I wasn't aware that we could do that. Excellent suggestion.
Thank you for your suggestions.

Vic. That is very interesting. I always thought it was the bullet weight that was the primary measurement to review when looking at stabilizing projectiles.
Who says you can't teach an old dog new...

I have just bought a used Uberti High Wall in 45-70 and it is the first black powder gun I have ever owned. While I reload everything imaginable in smokeless powder, I am absolutely new to the world...

Does anyone shoot 9mm in a S&W 929? I have picked one up and am looking to cast for it.
I hear people saying that the 929 was built with a .38 barrel rather than a 9mm (.355/.356) barrel so bullet...

Hello again. Sorry for the delayed response. We have been travelling for the past few weeks and just got home. Thank you again for the additional information regarding the NOE moulds. The bullets...

Burnt Fingers - Thank you for the NOE ELCO suggestion. I have checked NOE and they currently do not offer and molds without a lube groove. Since I am planning to coat the bullets I would prefer to...

Intel6 - Thank you for the pics and the comments. I have sent an email to Mihec asking a few questions and hoping that it becomes a choice for my guns.

Hi Intel6. That sounds like a very interesting choice. How do you find it loads into your 929?
Have you coated it?

Hello all,

Thank you for the comments, support and recommendations.
I have sent an email to Tom at Accurate and waiting for a reply.
