If Bullshop is not an option for whatever reason, Montana Bullet Works carries a good assortment. I bought from Dave before I started casting as he used (and I believe still uses) LBT molds from...
As 45sixgun mentioned, slug the barrel of each revolver and and drop the slug through the respective revolver's cylinder throats. If the slug falls through all throats in the cylinder, next step is...

ColColt,
Don't be surprised if you can't find a 1 lb. bottle. Trail Boss is too bulky to fit in the Hodgdon's standard 1 lb. bottle.
+1 on using the LBT push throughs for getting the EASIEST results. However you got the SAME results as using an LBT push through with your lead ball.
I would suggest using something other than a...

I would hold off on the .451 sizing die until you measure grove diameter of a slug with a micrometer. Then using the same micrometer, measure the as bought-size. Then measure one pushed through the...

This isn't the 20mm/80 CDOC referenced, but there is a thread on another forum with a pretty good time line of the build starting last fall with pics for a 20mm muzzleloader. The guy proofed it with...

I tried to Search before posting to see if it had been talked about, but didn't find anything with "compbullet". When I searched for "comp bullet", I think I crashed the server; too many hits for...

Not a boolit, but is an interesting concept as a compensator to reduce recoil. They are called Comp Bullets and the website is here: http://www.compbullet.com/prodottieng.html. I would imagine they...

If anybody is still thinking pepper spray, it may not be the answer. I heard stories when living in AK, but never talked to anybody who actually had a bear encounter of any kind.
Anyway, here is a...

I don't know about your better half, but mine would have hissy fits if I did that much damage to the steps! Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on how I look at it, it is just a chunk out of the...

I thought I would be smart and take a chisel and hammer and split a smelted pewtermini-muffin. I thoughtfully laid the muffin on a towel on the cement step and proceeded to precisely cleeve the...

I strongly suggest your thermocouple be longer so that it can reach into the bottom of the pot as your alloy level drops. Don't ask me how I know.

I consider myself your #1 fan. There are few here that can communicate an idea or process as effecitively as you. And thank you for your (and many others) effort helping educate those of us that need...

As smoked turkey said, there must be lots of folks here that "give the item new life by adapting them to other purposes". A while back I had posted in Swappin and Sellin that I wanted some 45/70...

For comparison purposes, I use a cast iron pot on a 1000 Watt electric 110V element. The element is plugged into a PID unit. The last time I cast at 35 degrees with a very slight breeze and a covered...

If your time spent looking for a better deal isn't worth anything, then by all means, shop around. I've been known to search for an hour just to save a couple bucks. And like Sonnypie, I ended up...

I could not find H110 load data for purchased boolits in my Ruger Bisley 45 Colt 5 1/2" when I first bought it, so I gathered data to extrapolate from reliable sources which contained pressure data...

If some one is seriously interested in learning the many varied aspects of this hobby (obsession in my case according to the better half) like I was and still am, time needs to be spent learning...
This thread, as other threads often do, has veered off in tangent for the OP’s original question about nose design for best accuracy. That being said I apologize for adding more to the tangent now...
