Forum: Cast Boolits
I recently bought a used Knight inline 50 cal and wondered if I could find a sabot that could shoot them. I've always been a round ball shooter in the past and have never used a saboted round. I...

I have used their tumbler for over five years. It stills works fine. I wouldn't buy a press from them though.

Well, with all the good advice received on this thread, I was successful. I slugged the barrel and determined .311 resized cast were good to go. I used 1.7 gns Bullseye and made them as long as I...

I forgot to mention that I can size the bullet to .311. They will chamber fine. I'll try some 1.5 bullseye and if they cycle and shoot well I will be happy. Thanks for weighing in. Much appreciated.

I'm thinking of using this bullet in my steel framed 32acp Ortgies. The bullet takes up a lot of room. From what I've read 1.7gns of Bullseye should be ok, but there is little room between the base...
Has anybody ever tried a muzzleloader nipple for shot dropping? Seems it could be easier than drilling bolts.
Another option is NOE nose sizers. It just sizes the nose of the bullet and not the driving bands. Worked great for me on cast bullets that won't chamber in tight throats.

Got a short explanation on how you tie the tail on?
Thanks everyone. My mold drops them right at .356 and they slide through the sizer with little effort. I may powder coat some and not size them to get a better fit. I have slugged all my other...
I'm trying to tighten up my groups in my 995TS 9mm carbine.
I powder coat and then resize to .356, but the groups are not very tight. I'm using 4.0gns of Bullseye. Any suggestions on how to tackle...

The weather has been awful, so I've been in the reloading room. I came up with an accurized hot glue bullet to shoot with primers only. Very quiet and because of the .22 pellet in the nose they are...

Could you paper patch this light cast boolit and up the speed a bunch?
Forum: Leverguns
Thanks for all the input everyone. I'll shoot a few singles and get a feel for the round and then decide whether to load up the tube. The magazine spring isn't too stiff so I feel pretty good about...

I designed a cam that sits on top of the die locking nuts. It can be lifted off easily to adjust dies.

That is so obvious it slipped past me. Two is better than one for sure. Thanks for waking me up.
Forum: Leverguns
Yes, it does feed ok. I was surprised by that. For target shooting one at time is ok. If I used it for hunting a few rounds in tube would be nice. These would be rabbit\squirrel loads, maybe a...
Forum: Leverguns
I decided to load some gallery rounds using 2.7 gn of Bulleye and the 32-20 bullet sized to .311. They chamber fine but I haven't shot them yet. The flat nose on the SWCs don't bridge the primer...
