I have that same rifle and the Dan T mould for it. BACO makes the mould and mine drops @ 365 grains. The OP however stated he will only be shooting from 100_ 300 yds so there is no need for a mould...

Yes, I have one. I have other moulds besides the BACO and I size them @ .380 as well.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
My BACO .380-360 drops them @ .380 and I do not resize them.

Divedigger, see my post to Hairy Dawg. If your babbitt is marked "Genuine", you have the same alloy.
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
The answer to your question is cast into the center of that ingot. Search "Genuine" babbitt, also known as Nickel Genuine. I've used a bunch of it, treating as tin.
Bad ***,
After seeing numerous posts of yours regarding the Pedersoli Highwall in 38/55, I just had to get one. Well now that I have it, I see that P Jones no longer makes the mould that you have....

It sounds like Imperial Babbitt to me.
Approx. 86% Tin, 7% Antimony, and 7% Copper.
Most of what I have found were in 4 lb. ingots.

Randy,
In the US, I think Cameraland is an internet dealer. The price up here is around $500.

Randy,
You mentioned a 1-8 scope. Minox makes a 1.5-8 that is a very nice scope for the price.
Mine has the Versa Plex reticle and the optics compare well to my Zeiss Diavari.

I'm glad you were not seriously injured. What a sad ending to a beautiful rifle. A wake up call to all of us. Thanks for posting.

For a standard mould for 100 yds. Saeco 315. I also have Don Egan's nose pour rendition of this mould. MX3-308-BR, IIRC.
For 200 yds. RCBS 165 Sil.

Bob, Get a hold of Phishroy on CGN. He sells Gator checks. If I had known, I could have put a handful in the box with the mould. It's already wrapped and labeled ready to ship.

Here's how you get out of this mess. Trim all your short brass to 2.080 and toss any much below that. Next, buy a Lee Factory Crimp die in 45/70. Disassemble the die and grind off the required...

What ? Something's wrong here. Me and a buddy of mine have shot lots of Unique and the 312 180 Lee out of 308 and 303 target rifles. The charge wt. is 15gr. as that was the most accurate. For the...

That's my favorite deer bullet in 45/70. I lapped mine so it drops .461 in WW. Actual weight is 317 gr lubed and checked. Since you have H322, it's my favorite powder and I use 61.5 gr for 2200 FPS...

Not true. All shot contains arsenic, it's what makes the falling drops round.

It should also be noted that reloading tools, dies, and bullet moulds are exempt and can be shipped. :drinks:
I have the 4 cavity Saeco. Once it gets up to temperature, all that iron seems to hold the heat well. You can turn them out very quickly. I usually use lino and the quality is very good.
Bret have you got your's yet? I was in on that GB and didn't know it had arrived.

When I bought my Lam 2, it came with a stick of green lube. I believe it's pistol lube and that's probably what's in yours.

The porous muffin ingots look like your melt was way too hot. For fluxing I use a piece of 1x2 pine and gather all that thick oxide to the side of the smelter and give it a good scrubbing against the...
