Moral of the story slug your bore. We'll just slug and see.
Ok so the gun gods may bestow on me a Stevens 39a 410 to go with my 410/22 I have a .375 Lyman round ball mold. Anyone try this load in a 2 1/2 shell or go with a bullet mold in which caliber? It...
150 is my longest shot into the bean field but it would have to be ideal conditions which I also have to assess my mental and physical condition prior to the shot.

Ditto it needs some loving. Not like the new 336 I bought new in 1995
With all my shooting goals I don't think I could achieve all them in 5 lifetimes. I'd love to do 3 gun, woods walks with flintlocks, go back to longbows while doing 3 d shoots etc. IN my state...
I hear getting slugs right out to 100-150 yards is more challenging than center fire rounds. In terms where I hunt Illinois is a slug, pistol, muzzleloader state I like to shoot and want to shoot...

Marlin 1894 44 mag purchased, savage 220 traded Sig 380 for
Seems like a good option worth investigating. You all say they are good out to 150 yards?
I got a chance to swap a pistol for a savage 220 for the kids. It came with 2 boxes of accutips. Wondering if anyone found something beyond the holy trinity of factory ammo (Remington, Hornady, and...

I like the shooting methods of Dutch Schoultz an old guy whom I believe passed recently however published a great tutorial on accuracy with a tc muzzleloader. Using the dry patch system that you use...

I like the idea of having one bullet 2 guns but at this point I think I need to move so I can have a proper range to use the moment I have an idea. I bought this firearm because my oldest son is...

Thanks I slugged the bore using 54 cal roundball son the 629 and Ballard rifled marlin 1894. I can see how beating a ball into the muzzle could be off by a couple thousands of an inch. I will look...

I assume you all are using wheel weights and mix it into a Lyman # ? Alloy. I noticed no gas check. I was hoping to hunt out to 100 yd with the rifle. 50 with the pistol. I've taken 2 deer with...
Forum: Leverguns
Simple novice question but should the bullet fit the note exactly or be slightly oversized? I.e. My bores were .429 but cast 430?
Forum: Leverguns
Maybe I can clarify my question and not make it a statement. What is a good mould for these 2 firearms I was hoping for at least 240 grains. Something I can target shoot and hunt with.
Forum: Leverguns
Wondering if anyone loads for a 629 Classic and marlin 1894 I slugged the bore both are at .429. Any particulars on this combo. Ideally I'd like to be able to use the same bullet. In a perfect...
Nice RB groups. I use 19.6 gr herco in TC wad using fiochi hulls I use cards to bring 575 ball to the top of the wad. Good out to 40/50 yd with smoothbore IC choke 21" youth model 870
So no good options using commercial moulds like Lyman or Lee 575 cal molds like the REAL or Minies. The 512 shoots the hornady SST and heck yeah on the Nikon shotgun scope with the BDC redicle. I...
So no magic load with commercial mold? Like from a lee or Lyman?
