It was never a passed on charge. It is always included in the final price at some point in the process. I will agree that some companies use shipping as a way to hide actual costs from unwary...

A buddy of mine just purchased one of these. I believe its made by auto-ordinance? I mentioned that I thought it might be a good plinker using some 230gr cast bullets.
The bullets have the same...

Over on the Shiloh forums there is a guy that has tested these bullets from BA.
He has fired some sub 2 inch groups at 200 yards.
I hope to do as well when I get my rifle in.
Well I hope to come...

I have heard of folks using a little egg whites mixed in with their water. My question is does the patch release from the bullet at the muzzle properly?
Have any of you that use egg whites looked...

If you are considering an adjustable mold you might want to give Fred Leeth a call. He runs Pioneer Molds.
I have one of his molds and its a beauty. Only thing is he did cut the base plug...

I got lucky today and found some of the spent PP bullets in the sand bank behind the targets today. Looks like they are bumping up perfect. The grooves from the rifling are just as deep on these as...

Just wanted to add this on my 40-65. I am shooting at a target thats either 250 or 270 yards away. I cant get a straight answer on its actual distance. All the range members agree that its one of the...

I'm using 25% 9 lb airmail paper that I purchased online from the Paper Mill.
I think that im not wraping it tight enough. I also have a couple of other papers that I plan on trying.

I am hoping to patch these to bore size. I have been doing that in my 40-65
with pretty good results so far. Someday I may try some bullets such as you are using.
The Brooks mold for...

Have any of y'all tried out the new paper patched bullet molds from Buffalo Arms?
It looks very interesting. I have only used bullets with the rather blunt creedmoore type nose.
These have a...

I purchased one from Crossno for my Sharps. I havnt been able to try it yet.
Will I need to remove my tang sight to install it or is there some flex to it?

When I was looking for my tang sights I was thinking mid-range too. Someone on the Shiloh forums pointed out to me how small the price difference is between the mid and long range sights. Its...

Thanks guys i will give it a try.

I am using 30-1 alloy in my pot for my black powder rifles. I plan on using the same alloy for my 44 special light loads. Could I get away with using this blend in my 30-40 krag? Anyone tried this?...

I used a carbide tiped scribe to cut a new vent where i thought it was needed. That seemed to help the mould fill out properly. It still sticks bad but I attribute that to it being a Lyman mould.

...

I want to thank everyone. As soon as i'm able im going to heat up some lead and give it a try. I've used the eraser this time. Figure I will do things in steps. As I said earlier I do have experience...

Ive tried all the things posted so far. I'm not giving up on this mould yet.

I plan on trying one of Paul Jones Moulds in the future. Its just that im stubborn an want to get this one working....

I cranked the temp up to 880 degrees and ive started getting some good bullets. They still stick in the mould like crazy but that normal for most Lymans in my experience.

Michael

thanks all,,,,im fixin to give it another try. Im raising the temp a bit this time.
Jerrlod what brand of mould are you using?

Michael

I do believe a good breeze or fan is the best protection too. As far as fumes go i'd be more worried about impurities in the lead than the lead itsself. Such as when melting scrap lead. Ive...

Thanks for the replys. I have tried both holding the ladle longer, and backing the ladle off and letting the lead pour over the mould. I also considered it was a venting problem. It looks as though...

You might try contacting Buffalo Arms Co. They have some custom dies.

I just recieved my new Waage electric pot a few days ago. Its for ladle use only.
Once I calibrated it the tempreature never changes. It keeps a very constant temp. It cost me about $141 with...
