    Thanks VP!

    I’ve noted a few things in my research and hit-and-miss reading sections of this mega-thread:
    • 76-9-15 can be a slightly cleaner formula
    • Corning is aiming for 1.7 to 1.8 grams...

    Wow! Thanks guys! Sounds like it all works, but when it comes to accuracy the pistol primers have the edge.

  5. Primers for Black Powder cartridge loading

    I’ve been following BP cartridge loading since about the late 1970s when I saw a movie where some kids were given (or inherited?) a Sharps “Big Fifty” which they shot from one hilltop to the next,...

    Welcome to wet tumbling!

    I’ve dumped the pins. Got tired of them getting stuck in flash-holes or “bridging” across the case mouth. They are an added, unnecessary step. I just wet tumble in...

    Assuming you are shooting black powder?

    I use 35:1 lead to tin. 40:1 works too. Softness is key if it’s a hollow base mould, like the Lee copy of the 1800s military 405gr.

    The issue with the lower charge for the swaged bullet is because they know if they run the pressures up so velocity is above 1000fps, leading will occur. Thus, in that particular situation, the...

    It’s actually the opposite. Special book loads are virtually all lighter loads than starting magnum loads. What you want to avoid is loads so light that there’s so much “sloshing-around” room that...

    Mine is a mid-80s 444S, which I’m looking at customizing, doing much of the work myself.



    See, now that’s a good idea. The factory 444 barrels are stupid-heavy.
