    I was nearer to the listed velocities with faster powder IIRC, Clays, than I was with CFE pistol or Longshot. I might have been using CCI primers with loads that called for Winchester at the time...

    I never came close to the published velocities out of my 14-3. I ended up about 100-150fps behind on average. I think the only time I went over 1000fps with a 158 was with some Longshot, and possibly...

    IIRC The difference in drop at 100 yards between an MV of 850fps and 1000fps is only a few inches. I did manage to get groups in the 1 foot range offhand at that distance with great regularity,...

    That's simultaneously hilarious and frightening...I would get taken out by a squirrel, the poetic justice there is just...immense.

    If I remember correctly, someone told me once about a similar experience with a 300 Weatherby and a bull moose. 5 shots, it didn't flinch, then he walked up to it and pushed it over.

    I grew up making headshots habitually. I only had a pellet gun, and my father didn't want them scurrying off between feed bags before dying. Fresh corpse smell puts off customers.

    So, as many of you (if not all) have targeted vermin to maintain your skills, or to just keep the ruckus in the attic down. When I was a boy my father had a small feed store, and I was his official...

    I see. So, slower cooling seems to be the necessity. Has anyone tried using sub 100 foot drops? Like from the second story of a building and such?

    How is commercial #2-BBB lead produced? There has to be a good way to do it for those to be sold commercially

    In all honestly I've thought of making a mold, but the number of cavities I'd need to make it worth while would be a PITA to get drilled/swaged out.

    I read somewhere that I guy wanted a custom BB size mold made by Marty's Arms, the mfg said that a mold for that size of shot would be problematic, in that the sprue would be nearly the same diameter...
  15. How Can I make Large Shot (B-BBB) With A Shotmaker?

    I know that the basic process would stay the same, but I'm sure that there are things that need to be taken into account for the larger pellets, and greater heat. I'll need special drippers too, I...

    It's "Ballard" rifling, not microgroove in this one. And I haven't got it on hand to check, but it grouped well with commercially made bullets, so I don't think fouling is to blame.

    They do now, they did not when the gun was purchased a year ago, keep in mind that being on the north side of the border things are a bit more expensive. The 340 is 34.55$, the 405 is 46.62$, the 450...

    It was just the mold he bought when he got the gun. The only 45/70 mold Amazon didn't want 60$ for. I have considered powder coating, as that's what I do with my 357 and 44

    45/70 Accuracy Issues

    A friend of mine has a a nice Marlin 1895 CB with a 26" barrel, he loads for it using Varget, 4198, and home cast 405-459-hb bullets from a Lee mold, lubing with Alox. His lead is very, very, very,...

    The throats measure .429-.4295, the lead is still too hard after baking to be dented with my thumbnail. No leading at all with 8grs of Universal.
