Adding Linotype won't necessarily add tin...Alloy should be 84% Pb, 12% Sb, 4% Sn, so you will add 3x the Sb to Sn which will alter hardness and increase brittle properties. I have used Linotype to...
Forum: Muzzleloading.
I use many gallons of BLO in a year but that's for wooden farm equipment. It is not waterproof or repellant, it does not "dry" to a hard finish but preserves weather exposed wood when it is applied...
I took the finish off my 1860 to age it, it seemed case hardened but it is lacquered.288079
That too has been my experience and the 12S4 much the same. I make some my best 1 1/4 loads with the 12S4. I think the Claybuster knock off of the 12S3 seems as tough as Federal...
whooooaaa! I am in awe, you are truly a buckshot master. Well, this proves that target wads can be used for good buck loads! That buffer is really interesting...
Thanks for letting us all know, that's unfortunate. The good news is that Claybuster makes a knock off and that's what I've been using. That's my favorite for trap handicap loads 1 1/8 oz, 3 1/4 dr...
I don't know about windjammers with their 8 lovely petals but I do have data for Federal 12S4 and 12S3 which I would intuit may have a better chance of success. I really like federal wads and they...
That's a great idea, I will contact No.1 to inquire. I will post just those items relevant to the original question here and maybe we can continue on another thread about all the rest.

OK, reality check....the original question here is "what are your favorite wads for 00 buck loads?". Short answer: Giulandi MG42. Caveat: 00 buck does not fit in the MG42. The devil is in the details...
Thanks! all great fun, good luck with that Flues. I will post some charts etc as soon as I figure out the best way. Sorry no paragraphs, when text is posted the indent disappears!? Also note that...

Thanks, Centershot, for the prompt...Sooo, back in Jersey I remember shooting a doe at very close range with Remington No 1 buck, running off and killed by a friend with a slug. We found 1 (one)...

All great ideas... if shotgun loading is somewhat empiric then loading buckshot is voodoo! You'll hear everything from "full choke is best, always!" to "buckshot is designed for cylinder bore only!"...

1926 seems to be my magic year. Only by coincidence but 4 lever guns and 3 SXS shotguns from that glorious year, others average around that back to 1891 which is a Win 1873 in .32 WCF. If repros...
