Obviously from all the other post I've read, the green bar is the paper to use. I can't help but wonder why?!!!! I thought 14# paper was 14# paper and 20# paper was 20# paper. I know some paper is...

Thanks folks! I took my dremel using a tapered rock and beveled the bottom of my .314 sizing die and use that to tighten the neck up enough to hold on to the PP. I shot my first batch today.
Real...

Ok, there has to be a simple solution to this I just can't see. I have sized my bullet down to .304, wrapped two times then sized again to .314 (which is the size my enfield likes when shooting...

.454 is what I size my boolits to for the 45 acp. Outside of one bullet mould from Rapine, all my moulds are from lee. As is my presses, dies, sizers and everything else. I just take into...

That is one pretty gun!!!

3900 fps!!!????? That's ....well....that's....fast.....isn't it? I hope to have the paper patching down by next season. I absolutely love my 303 and if I can push something that will expand out to...

So, do I understand this right? You can push Pure lead PP up to 2200 fps? after that the friction of the speed will deform the boolit mid air? and you can push coww about 2600? and wqww as fast as...

Jballs, I just went through the same thing. First, if you slugged your barrel at .358 I can't see anyway a
.356 is going to not lead. It's just too small. My barrel slugged at 3.56 and it takes...

Bought the .38 expander from lee. It took a good bit of shimming to get it to work with my expander/powder charge but it works! Shot about 300 rounds through it with no leading. 4 grs of universal...

Got the swaging problem fixed. Just kept adjusting my expanding and seating die and pulling boolits until it doesn't swage them down anymore. But, I'm still leading. I switched to Universal powder...

Thanks everyone, I've got some universal on hand. I'll give that a try. And I'm not using the Lee FC die.
I'm about to load some more up and I've moved the boolit out as far as I can. I'll shoot...

Ok, when I adjust the seating die so it won't swage down the boolit, then it won't load in the gun. If I keep adjusting it down to where it will load it has come back to the place of swagging the...

Thanks fellows, that should get me going in the right direction. First, it is indeed leading the last half of the barrel. Next, I pulled a boolit out and it has been swaged down to .355 from...

So after 2 years of building a house I'm finally getting to cast some and my 9mm Ruger SR9 is giving me a challenge. So a little advice would help. I've slugged the barrel at .356 and am using a...

This is right on time! I'm wanting to start PP for the 45-70 I haven't picked up yet:D

I used part of an old shirt I was wearing once:) I shot a nice buck with my BP shotgun but didn't have any wads so I cut off a chunck of my shirt and stuffed it down the barrel, and shot him again. ...

I tried the REALS in my inline but could never get them to shoot right. I already cast 45 long colt bulletts so I cast up some pure lead boolits and put them in a .452 sabot and they amazed me. I...

Good Cheer, I tried all summer to get something to shoot out of my 40 ca. flint. It also has a Green mtn. barrel on it with a 1:48 inch twist. It shoots roundball excellent but i wanted to hunt hog...

They say it is....But, I shoot both and can't tell any difference. I just started using Pyrodex RS in my CVA Optima yesterday because the store was sold out of BP. I' worked up a hunting load of...

That was fascinating!!!

Sounds like a good day Dirt! We have fox squirrels in florida but theyr'e in the endangered list. Eglin Air Force base has plenty but there again we can't hunt them. I took my flint up to the...

I just returned a REAL .50 mold that was out of round. In exchange they sent me another one and I'm going to experiment with the felt and cardboard OP wad. Just out of curiosity, do you dip the...

That's nice! I've been hoping someone would post a picture of an under... nice!

Sounds like a good day! Nobody in town here sells the black either. I have to drive about 60 miles to get mine.

Just weighed one at 317, but I sent that mold back. It was way out of round. I bet @ 342 you got one of the good ones that measure .514
