These shoot well in a Thompson Center sabot. I've tried them with wheelweights, dental x-ray foil and pure lead alloy. It didn't like the WW, but the other two were sub two inch groups at 100. I even...

Last week was primitive weapons season in my state. I generally take a deer or two with my inline muzzleloader. This year I shot a nice 9 point, and the bullet didn't exit.

My usual load...

I have one about 2 years old, says .452, drops right at .454

I don't have much experience with 30 caliber cast boolits on hogs, but I have killed them with .44 and .45/70 with cast.

Hogs are not tougher than any other game. They are tough if you got them...

A little experiment. I had Smoke's Traffic Yellow and mixed it with the last bit of Harbor freight red. It made an orange looking mix in the bag, but when I did the shake and bake, the...

Neat idea. I've thought of several design ideas to do this, none are as simple and elegant as yours.
I'm going to have to make one. I've always thought the Lee 310 grain 44 bullet would be...

I'll take it. Let me know how you want funds and how much shipping.

I was smelting recently and pouring into a muffin tins ingot pan. Third batch, so it was already hot. Something must have dropped into the muffin tins because I got a pop and tinsel. It reminded me...

I'll take #9.

My pietta 44 Remington shoots a little better with the conicals than the round balls. I have to cast them from my stash of pure lead to get them to load. I lube them with bore butter and load them...

Thanks everyone. The Lee conicals load and shoot well, I just wanted a wide flat point for game if I get the opportunity. I already have the mold, so wanted to see if this will work instead of...

Looks almost like a ring of pitting in there. Pits just seem to hold gunk to keep showing up on patches.

I found a lot of inner peace when I decided perfect was perfect but good enough is good enough with barrel cleaning. I accept a lot more crud left in my 85 year old Mauser barrel than in a 10 year...

I've been shooting Lee conical in my reproduction Remington New Model Army. The rebated base starts square and they shoot great.
I just recently bought the Lee 452-200rf mold and thought it would be...

I quit casting because I hated the whole lube and size process. Even tweaking the lubrisizer was a pain.
I tried Harbor Freight red. I liked the results but not the process.
Then after reading...

Peanut butter jars. My family goes through peanut butter, and the container is sturdy.
I tried the disposable Ziploc containers, but they would buckle when stacked!

I was able to pick up some of my PC boolets after they hit steel on our range. The boolets were flat disks with powder coating on the base. I thought that was evidence, along with my hammer test,...

I'm somewhat in the same boat. PC has got me back into casting. I always looked at my lubrisizer as a chore, but even though it probably takes longer to powder coat and run through a Lee sizer.
I'm...

Wipeout bore cleaner helps, but I've decided I won't ever get a white patch out of some old rifles.
And you really don't need to. Get the metal fouling and most of the powder fouling and it should...

As Phil Shoemaker proved, a 9mm you have is better than a .44 you don't.
The 10 days I spent in the Bob Marshall Wilderness had me wearing a S&W 629 loaded with 310 grain wide flat nosed bullets at...

I started with a single stage, then bought a Lee Classic Cast Turret.
I used it for a year before finding a deal on a used Dillon 550b.
The Dillon is much easier to use and faster. That being...

I'm using the 125 Lee boolet, powder coated, using Lee dies. I have to size after powder coating to get them to chamber with my sizing die. I have no keyholes, but group size is much larger than...

Like everyone else has said, they work fine. With PC, it would probably be ideal to have a booklet with no lube groove at all, but the tumble lube boolet comes close.

Well, in my .54 Renegade, I can use a pillow ticking patch and either a .530 or .535 round ball of pure lead. If the lead is much harder, a .535 ball might be able to to be seated with a hammer.
It...
