Well I drooled on the keyboard enough and finally jumped on the wagon, probably not going to be as pretty as yours, but I'll give it a shot. I bought one of those $40 barrels for a receiver I have...

stunning. did you bed the barrel and make a bushing for the band? aesthetics really, but curious nontheless

Clover? comes in many grits doesn't it?

Just picked up the wife a Rossi with a 24in octogon bbl, cant wait to see her face on Christmas :D
... Ive had the 358 105gr lee SWC and 358 140gr lee SWC And a groupbuy 180rnfphp mould forever...

i don't personally trust 777 in cartridges meant for true antiques, pyrodex is what I use because I don't have any true black either. put enough powder in the ctg to fill it to the bullet/boolit...

in another ctg or firearm you could get some educated guesses in both directions and it might work with or without a gas check depending on your alloy, lube, powder selection... However, having...

uhm... no I've never done it, and I've never heard of anyone doing it. sounds like a modern... mini... semi auto navy percussion revolver type terminal ballistics ... ...thing

and a pain to do...

curious, what kind of crimp are you using? if you're using one... a compressed charge cant really compress much I imagine, but I still wonder cause it's a tube mag

really??? no one has suggested shooting it in half yet?

Sounds like a Headspace issue. I would have it checked out, asap. and I wouldn't continue firing it untill it's sorted out. MHO

I hope it's not too tough, it's supposed to be confetti ;-)

Not I, generally speaking, shiny paper has more clay in it and if I remember right, the PaperPatch book suggests against hi clay content, but I forget why. good luck, if it works, post how and why,...

my dad found one on gunbroker for less than 100 because it needed another bbl... well we have yet to replace the barrel it shoots just fine with RB and thick patches. you'll be pleased

do you think the mosin is strong enough for the 60,000PSI Max that the commercial ammo is potentially loaded to?

I followed some advice on loading pyrodex in my 50-70 and i'm happy hits what i aim at and went through an eight inch tree ( for the record I had to cut it down anyway due to power lines) Just enough...

I was wondering if you beagled or drilled out the gas check seat on the mold Or if you plained off the mould making it a shorter boolit?

I lucked out and use the .329 lee has, they drop at .330 for me and the push thru sizer is .329

the problems with these rifles, as reported by others, is that the throat is generally so worn that you can chamber a 338 cast...

what happens when you slug the barrel is you get a measurement of...

pics or it didn't happen :) Sounds plausible though.
Playing with those 50's eats up lead quick, my 50-70 sure eats a lot.

how much work did the bolt face require?

They're already way out of my pricerange... Crazy how it happens. The so-called cheap rifle ends up highly sought after and limited run mfg. the pnly downfall was the pressed checkering and plastic...

Another one falls to the mighty 600. Congrats!

Mine is in 243, and I will be buried with it.
been looking for that same setup actually, cause my 243 only eats J-words

Very cool! Congrats on a kill!

Congrats!

I was just reading it :lovebooli

And perhaps dunking the ppb's in a waterproofing hot bath of beeswax to coat them like a 22lr boolit or like the Kynosh 577/450 PPB's ... It works for 22LR ammo fairly well and would give the patch...
