If you have a lead bullet in a sabot, why would the alloy matter much? The boolit doesn't actually touch the barrel right?

Oh yeh, and the Maine hunting I do is mostly inside 100yds. Down here south, thick woods, up north open hardwoods and thick stuff and occasional long shots, but never seen a deer that far out up...

Thank you! Reality is I will be shooting at the range mostly, but I want the smoke pole for extending my deer season if necessary. Like this year. No deer but another two weeks I could potentially...

Looks like I'll have to go three directions here. LOL!!! Saboted .452, Paper patched .501, and REAL 320gr. Damn it! This was supposed to make it cheaper, not buy more gear!! who was I fooling...

So then you size it with which LEE setup? Links are great!! Thanks!

I guess Newton that getting a sizer, especially just a LEE sizer, wouldn't bee a big expense. So a boolit mold, the .501 sizer?, and some paper. Hmmmm... What boolit mold do you have?

Yeh, those were the sabots I was considering. I was thinking of casting a .452 boolit of some sort. The paperpatch thing is interesting, but I don't have a sizer. I actually do have a bunch of...

Interesting! Thank you.

Just curious if anyone has any experience casting boolits for the CVA Optima V2 inline muzzleloader? My thought it the most accurate way to go is cast a .452 boolit and plop it in a sabot made for...

First time I shot skeet there was a guy there at the range who I later found out was some sort of champion shooter of skeet and such. Well he grabbed the thrower control in one hand and his shotgun...

I have used their customer service and it was great. Call them up and explain what is going on and see what happens.

Anyone check out the Loog guitar? Three strings, build yourself, easy to learn the basics. Cool story how it came to be as well!

My wife's grandfather was in WWII and a POW in the European theater. He has opened up a little to me and told me some stories. That is a VERY rare occurance from him or his son, my dadinlaw who was...

I have to agree with the trash on the mare's leg. I love the concept of that gun for cool factor, but DAMN that thing is butt ugly! The NAA 22 with the Eotech and forward grip and light is a riot...

I think you got it right about having a sit down chat. Your primary responsibility is with your family, but your feelings about this girl are spot on and making the attempt with your daughter's...

Nice job! That is my first boolit too. I shot some and they leaded up the barrel but I think I had too thin a lube layer which I thickened up, and also it was a weak load as I was tweaking the load...

DukeInMaine has one of those Rowell ladles i think. The one with the sliding handle? Those are sweet!

Oh good thanks! You can pm me i guess or i can give you my email via pm to.

I can't find the ladle guy on here. I am interested in one of those good ladles for filling ingots. Help! DukeInMaine told me he had a section but i can't find it.

I just got to use two Winchester molds from the 1800's! They were from a local museum. One a 32cal and one a 38cal. Both lever gun molds. Pretty cool stuff!

This is perfection! Plus, so many people regard then as weapons on sight! So frustrating! I use the one on my left thigh to skin oranges probably more than anything. The leatherman is used daily, if...

What about secondary detonation? Or is that not an issue because the powder is such a fast burning powder?

Easy fit in the pot! They are about 1.5#each. Here is a better picture. The second batch was prettier:

Oops... I meant fit in my pot!
