Just saw ur thread, so I may be a little late... I carry a Blackhawk, 4 5/8" brl with target/pest loads with me in antlerless season and have popped a doe with it the last 3 years. I use 6.5gr of...

I bought the lee 340gr to use in a new marlin 1895, just to get started. Turns out that i'm keeping it and don't really need any others. Casts about .458 but with powder coating, you can coat them...

I've been loading the lee soup can, about 136gr after an aluminum gas check and two coats of 45/45/10, for about 5 years now and it's very accurate and fun shooter for me. The rifle is a 1956...
I have a lee 255gr rnfp mold coming this weekend and hope to pour a small pile to test them out. Will let you know how it goes.
Now, for 44man. I appreciated the first few sentences of your first post but after that you went downhill from there. Try re-reading my words. Never said anything about a 'coil trigger spring'. I...
Thanks for your insight on this problem. Had to work all day yesterday and couldn't wait to get online to read ur thoughts. My cylinder had 2 chambers at.450, 2 at .452 and 2 at .4535 as new. I have...
Anyone get a lee 90358 to drop at .453-.454? Never worked a lee mold to make them drop .003-.004 larger than stock. So, to y'all who beagle, is it feasible to actually open up a lee .452 mold to ,...
Right after I got it, I slicked up the action. During that tear down, in the middle of a two day snow storm if I recall, I worked the trigger/sear, filed down the return spring, smoothed the original...
Thanks guys. I'm weighing out all my charges and trickling up to within a tenth. My throats are all cut with the same reamer and I pin gauged it and it's within .001 or less. I'm really thinking that...
I've never used the lee rnfp, only the 454242 swc. Was wondering if the rnfp could work better. I actually made a peep/aperture rear insert for all of my revolvers. Thanks for the rear sight...
Thanks for your replies. I re-crowned my muzzle when I cut the 11 degree forcing cone. I was thinking of getting some jacketed to try. The lands are still almost as high as stock. When I fire-lapped...
Hey all, been pullin' my hair out with a 2yr old, bought new 4 5/8" Ruger BH in 45 colt. Slugged @.451+. Bought an older lyman 454424 Keith swc mold and it's casting perfectly @.456, Lee sizer them...

I'm sure your guns shoot Maxi balls well, mine do not. Thanks to all who helped out. I compiled a list of various moulds to include bullet diameter/lengths and believe i'll go with either a lee 200gr...

Special thanks to Bullwolf. Just what I was looking for, and thanks to all who helped out in providing boolit lengths to me in this post. Cast Boolits is an awesome site and wouldn't be if not for...

I'd really like to be able to find Lee Precion's PDF on mould specs/lengths, etc. Thanks for this info, Petroid. I'm probably not as computer literate as most. If you've seen it, can you provide a...

Thanks mooman76, not frustrated, just trying to get a boolit around .600 in length. If you find your flat point @ .602, let me know which one it is, and thanks for posting. I'm going to get this TC...

Anyone cast soft lead lee r.e.a.l. boolits in .50cal, 250gr? Iffn' you do and could spare a few to try in my TC, please let me know.
Forum: Muzzleloading.
Thanks johnson1942, for your info. My 1:48 twist won't even stabilize a .7" boolit from 60-100grains black. Can't see that a 1.75" slug will do any better. I'll try most anything but am trying to...
Forum: Cast Boolits
All info is good info and I appreciate you relaying your experience, RU shooter. I was thinking/wondering how well these shot and may give that a try. A 200gr RF, with it's big meplat, would work...
Way to go, OBXPilgrim! I was hoping to be able to shoot the 452-255RF and @ .615 it looks like a distinct possibility. Always wanted one for my Blackhawk .45 colt and if I hadn't gotten such a good...
Thanks Castingfool! I appreciate you posting this info.

Thanks, Castingfool! Does the 452-200RF shoot well for you, and have you fired it out to 100yds?
Forum: Cast Boolits
Cool, i'm trying to work up a boolit for my Pops' old 1:48 twist, TC Hawken 28" barrel. I know that a Keith 454424 SWC, which casts at .700" long will only marginally stabilize in this barrel/twist...
Thanks Buckeye Bandit. I assume you had a typo, and it's .6245, appreciate your help.
