The only problem I see is the port tallow has a lower melting point that the lamb tallow.
I have always gotten my lamb tallow from Dixie Gun Works. They usually have it every spring.

I have had good luck with Orthofeet. 13EEEE is my size. They have many styles with an extra wide toe box. No cowboy boots for me either.

I have a 510 with a similar scope. I sighted it in at 50 yards. We shoot one of Shooting Targets 7's KYL targets. It is a great rifle! The scope I use has target turrets so I have a table to...

I have used them but as mentioned above the bullets don't carry enough lube. I had to use a lubed wad under them. That lowers the amount of powder one can load and puts an extra step in reloading. ...

Well guys,
I failed. I spent about 45 min walking the shooting bay looking for a patch. I even checked behind where I was shooting to see if the wind might have blown them back behind me. Nope no...

We play a game like that. We use this target. At 50 yards the 1/4" target is 1/2 moa. We gamble for big stakes. The loser has to bring donuts next week. Have you seen the price on donuts?

I don't know what kind of rifle you are going to put this on, but here is an idea. Can't you cut a new dovetail farther back on the barrel. They are not too hard to cut by hand there is a thread...

Good advice in all the above posts. But, most of these guys seem to be shooting smokeless. Most of the boolits they have mentioned won't carry enough lube for BP. I shoot BP and with a rifle and...
Hodgdon has updated their website. When you are looking for load data you can now enter which primer you have. A positive change!

Thanks for the numbers! I am working on sorting a giant can of jags. Being cheap is sometimes expensive with one's time.

I know you folks only buy brand new stuff with your Brownell's Edge accounts. I however tend to buy some stuff at garage sales and swap meets. At the gun club swap meet this year I bought a can...

The 405 sounds like the Spence Wolf design that Lee makes. The 535 sounds like a copy of the Postell. Are you looking to find molds or just buy boolits? It you are just looking to buy I know...

I normally shoot a BPCR, I know they are a new thing that will never catch on.

I am sorry your fix cannot possibly work. It doesn't require any special tools to build and doesn't cost an arm and leg. Excuse me while I head out to the hardware store for a couple of eyebolts. ...

I have checked all of my reloading manuals and can't find any loads for sharp stick. Are they loaded to max length or set like wad cutters? Also should sharp sticks be sized over or under bore...
