Lyman molds are an easy conversion if you have the mold arm keys, sprue plate and sprue plate bolt, spring and nut. RCBS and Saeco are a little more involved with the mold arm keys. They run fine on...

BJung, I was gifted some 1970/80's Remington wadcutter brass from a retired PPC shooter, well used and prone to splitting. So to reduce wear and tear I decided to not size them. I had an old herters...

Bazoo, Another note on the testing which is the MOST important of all, We started with clean barrels, fired six shot on revolvers and 5 in 1911's into the berm, not on paper. This is to condition the...

Bazoo, yes we did test different sizing. In my alloys all my molds drop 359 to 361. We tested 358 and 359. The guns were a model 14 stock barrel, model 15 with a taylor throated barrel, two 1911 38...

Bazoo, One more interesting note on the 105 vs the 148 using factory barrels. The 148 zeroed at 25 is way low at 50 and a sight or scope adjustment is mandatory.
The 105, zeroed at 25 is on at 50...

Bazoo, I do not have a link to the testing but am glad to share any info you want. I have responded to several threads over the years where I had factual information to share.
We quit shooting the...

We are "bullseye" shooters and have tested crimps on Lee BNWC and Magma DEWC flush. The Lee BNWC crimped in the crimp groove gave us the best groups at 25 yds. We decided the FCD was better than a...

Arizona custom grips are sold on ebay. We have several for our Uberti's and Ruger's. In general they are a little thinner than the factory's.
$90/120 depending on the style. We like them.

I have a Taylors/Uberti, 5 inch. The cylinders will take a .452- pin. I shoot .452's. Note, the cylinders are a little shorter than a cattleman. I can load short nosed 250 SWC crimped in the crimp...

"Best commercial lube" Carnuba red 160. Harder than their regular but softer than their commercial 190 degree. Call Glen at white label and tell him what you need and he will guide you into the right...

Easy fix, just tilt the mold a little sideways when starting the pour and rotate to straight up as you finish with a large sprue. The hole is caused by the lead hitting the pointed part of the...

Yes, 2% tin and 4% antimony. Magma mold, 44-240-swc-bb. Also the same boolit I use in my Ruger flat top. Extremely accurate.

edit... if your looking for a new mold, let me save you some time...

I have a fairly new 3" and as "mostlyleverguns" said, light for caliber will shoot low. I use a 240 swc sized .432 on top of 5.0 grains of Bullseye. Very happy with gun and load.

See post #3 and 4. Both methods work for what you are doing. I use Country Gent's method most of the time. But! if I have a mold being fussy, then compression casting will solve that problem most of...

As another member suggested using "Paul Harrell" method, I agree. I use the fleece blankets folded into about a 1' square in a 3 sided box about 30 to 36 inches long. I used 1x12x36 shelving. When...

I have only used Bullseye and Titegroup and Red Dot for my Bullseye load. 4.0 to 4.2 give or take a little on each side will usually give pretty good groups. 4.0 RD is the most accurate with a 200,...

I hear you and right there with you. I hate owning a gun that I can't get out of it what I want. They go down the road pretty quick.
The only thing about the 83 I don't like is the recessed...

I have an 83 in 454. And yes it is worth the money. I also have Blackhawk's in 44 spl and 45 colt. On the 44 the BH is as accurate as the 83 is. The 45 colt not so much. I doubt I would spend the...

I have two, and love both of them. First one was a 6 inch target in 44spl. First day at the family range all attendees were waiting in line to shoot it. Ran out of ammo that day. I liked it so much I...

Congratulations, a worthy goal and you got there. I know it took a lot of "attention to details". What was your alloy?
Tony

As 45DUDE said most any powder in the Bullseye range will work. Bullseye is what I use but have have used Red and Green dot for excellent accuracy just a pain in powder measures. HP-38 works just...

In my neck of woods, a 50/75 yd shot in the timber, Im guessing accounts for 90% of whitetail kills. General wisdom of the old hunters when I was kid in the 60's was a 30-30 with a 150 soft point was...

When I was shooting Bullseye match's with wadcutters my charge was 3.5 of Unique. I used that load on DEWC seated flush and BNWC seated to crimp in groove (Lee). That's where the accuracy was. I have...

I load down around 3.2/3.4 titegroup and get 750/775 out of single action revolvers and 950/980 out of a 20 inch 357 Rossi lever gun. The 200 fps is pretty close also on 44's and 45 colt's when...
