I have been PP my cartridge guns for a while using a BACO slick flat base and the patch just turned over the edge.
All the posts I have read on here have had a tail on the patch and usually a hollow...
Sort of sorted now. C-More is sending it to an agent that deals with a dealer in Brisbane. So I will have to get on to them to forward it.
Not sure if this is the right place , but if not please tell me.
I have been casting and testing slugs for my C-More shotgun and may have got one a bit hot. It was hard to extract but these guns...

I was at the range a couple of days ago testing slug loads when the gun just would not fire any more. Took it home and stripped it and found that the left side extractor had bent in front of the bolt...
I tried it without the outer sleeve. Just make the two half circle bits a good fit and hold them with your left hand while pulling the lever with the other. Seats them just as well.
I have the white wads and like others cant get some to go all the way on. The Reloaders Network has a jig that presses them together. I messaged asking if I can buy one but no reply. So I spent an...
Thanks. Good idea. I googled it and found a dealer that sells Gualandi wads. so sent a message asking if he has the BRP 20.
See what happens.

I last bought a heap of stuff from BPI 2 years ago. Just tries to log in to get some Brush Wads and my Password would not work. Sent them a message to ask what was the problem and got a reply saying...
It is a big cavity, I was thinking glue filling as I fill the Lyman slug already. I will try a couple and see. If no good I will order some brush wads. They are pretty short so will give me a chance...
Thanks for that. Perhaps I will swap the pins to the long ones, cast some more, and try that. Would the brush wads be better than cutting the petals off the 12SO wads I have and screwing those on?...
I have the Paradox mold with the 3 inserts. I used the one that gives a pin sticking out in the base of the slug for the wad to fit on. I got white wads but a few of them wont go on. I see they have...

I also. Its very neat and works well. Need to extent the height a bit though for my 2 1/2 inch BP cases
Can you roll crimp the Paradox or does the taper jam it?
Looked there Ron. Under BPI products lots of cork and buffer and MEC wads but could not see these plug in tail wads.

I found a couple of Ebay suppliers . One wont ship to Australia but the other will.
Before I splash out, a question. Do these slugs need lubing? Does the lead to barrel friction cause leading?
The...
Cant find any wads on ebay. Anyone know a supplier that ships to Australia?
I found this on Australian ebay.
is this the same mold?...

A kind person has given me some Swiss FF to try.
When I work out how to use my new Magnetospeed Sporter I can see how much more velocity the Swiss gives me and might get a good load worked up

This should be the reamer print.

Any idea what mold I can get in .396 diameter Paper patch with an eliptical nose I can buy.
I just bought a Magnetospeed Sporter to try once I get it figured out. See how it compares to my old...
