Is this still open? Brass or aluminum mold? Are you selling handles too, or do I have to source them myself? It looks like the mold comes either as a HP or solid and for $16 you can get a different...

I talked to the guy with the mold and it is one of the Lee .457 molds. I decided to pass as I wasn't successful with a Lee .457 diameter boolit before. As often as I shoot this barrel ( not very ) I...

I tried the lee 340 gr .457 mold a bunch of years ago and the boolits leaded terribly. I tried them soft, medium and hard and I sold the mold. I am hoping that a mold that throws a larger diameter ...

I know Max 45-70 pressure in Contenders is 28000-32000 PSI but most data I find for 45-70 is CUP. It appears that Trapdoor data is safe to use to work up with but it would be nice to find a...

I am looking at the Lee 405 gr Hollow Base mold .459. Is this bullet OK with smokeless powder or is the hollow base a blackpowder only design? It is for use in my TC Contender.

Dumped the Mil-surp bore cleaner out today and it was darker and thicker than it went in. I got more black streaks on the patches and shot some carb cleaner down the bore than more patches. still...

MyGun44, I believe what you are saying as Vinegar is an acid. I am just reporting what I have seen after having steel wool in contact with the solution I am using. I have been dipping my bore brush...

What is the process for the paper patching ? Do I have to use a smaller bullet or wrap a bullet I am using now? How do use seat the bullet without ripping the PP off? Currently using a Lee 130GC...
