I don't believe Promo is as fluffy as the original Red Dot and therefore Alliant does not recommend it for metallic cartridges.

Thanks for the info!
My Webley Mk VI is a war trophy from my father-in-law, so I will not modify it. We shoot it on rare occasions. It appears the original .455 Webley boolit diameter spec of .454...

I double checked and came out with the same results proving the mould is slightly out-of -round.
I have a .455" expander for Auto Rim, so it would accept as-cast boolits if we go that route. It...

Sure thing Oupost!
I had a typical casting session this morning. I ran a few more with 30-1 followed by 1-2-97. As expected, the ternary mix cast ok but was not as nice as 30-1. Both mixes drop...

Last year I purchased some odds and ends from a local old boy. Several rolls of 50/50 solder and a rusty pair of unvented Ideal 454190 blocks were included.
I used Evaporust to clean the blocks...

We have had several in the family over the years. No regrets with any of them.
The only one that remains is called " the New Yellow Rifle. It's a 222 with a lot of throat wear. It has accounted...
