Yeah, I have often wondered what barrel leading really is or looks like. Pistol or rifle. I dont think the graying being uniform is leading. I shoot a dozen different rifles with plain based boolits....

Received my new LBT .311-110gr-round nose flat point- gas check mold yesterday. Washed it in hot water and dawn and out to the shop to start casting. Mold was to hot for first 2 boolits, cooled mold...

Keep it, you wont retire on what you will get for it, besides you will have a hard time replacing it. You will regret selling.

Oh man, I would never get rid of that! That is a beauty.

Works for me.

I have two 35s. One 1951 ballard rifled, and a 1968 micro groove. I cast a 200gr RCBS gas check design boolit. The micro groove likes .359 dia. I load 8.5 gr Unique, crimp and go 2.410 OAL. 2 inch...

Well, it came from here . I'm pretty sure ive read it some where on here that we should really clean a barrel before starting to shoot cast boolits. I have always made it a habit to use a good copper...

Its been said to clean a barrel throughly when switching to cast boolits. Do I need to clean throughly when shooting plain base and then switching to gas checked or back and forth? Do gas checks...

Gibson, good idea I dont know why I really got stuck around 1250-1350. I will try some red dot or 700x, I have lots of each. Do you use a filler with red dot or the 700x?

Thumcocker, thats what my groups look like, I always get that dam flyer once in awhile. Sometimes though when the planets align the sun is just right and I swear temp has an effect also. As an aside...

I do have one question, did you use a filler? How did you manage such low deviations? Did you weigh each powder charge? Hmm, one ?, guess I cant count.

Thank you, this is exactly how a test like this should be presented. You gave ALL the info needed.

All right,just what I was looking for. Looks like I am right in the ball park. 2 - 3 inchs at 50 yds is what I am getting with an occasional 1 and a half. I thought maybe I was a little off but I am...

Okay, what kind of accuracy are you guys getting from Model 73 Win 16 inch barrel and Model 92s with 20 inch barrel. This is with cast lead 158 grain flat based round nose flat point. I'm wanting...

Yes I have shot some 2 inch groups but not every time. If the temp is right, the sun shinning at me from off to my right if i am using the Win 92 with the green Williams front fire sight and the good...

Is there any chance that some of you that have had alloy tested by Roto Metals post the print out that they send back? I had a batch of mystery metal tested and they sent me a very nice detailed...

Well, I just tested some loads with a known alloy that performed well in the past. The alloy is Missouri #2. I also took some of the #2 and mixed some pure soft sheet lead to get to about 10-12 BHN,...

I built one just like that several years ago. Most of my boolits turn to coarse dust. How about you? Do your boolits disintergrate ?

Now I know I'm not the only one. I am going through the same as you. I have several batches of similar alloys, what I mean is they all test close to the same BHN. I have no idea what their...

Those loads work really well for me as long as I stay with the same batch of alloy. Live and learn. Everytime I re load a batch I include a note about what powder, primer case and boolit. Should have...

I've been chasing accuracy in my 357 win 73 and a model 92 both the new Mirokus. Boolit is RCBS 158, sized ,358 and LBT soft blue lubed. One load is 10 grs alliant 2400 which averages 1268 fps, no...

tazman, yeah, Im just trying to figure out why if I put say 19 pounds of lead boolits in that trap, why dont I get at least close to that amount back? And why or where did this strange dross come...

conditor, yeah, it looks similar . I dont know how to post pic and will probably never learn, too old.

My trap looks just like one pictured. The boolits do seem to strike dead on the center of the collector pipe, thats probably why they turn to dust, maybe I need to off set my aiming point.

Ah ****, I just had a really long reply and I did something and now I have to start all over. The 1 pound was an error. Yes, nothing goes in that trap except my own alloy. I buy lyman #2 from MO...
