The no. 1 in 45-70 is really nice, much better balance then the tropical model. My red pad shoots really good both cast and jacketed. The red pad got replaced with a limbsaver pad pretty quick...

Yes it works like a charm over here too :-P

The cartridge holder is bought over here by a leathershop. It´s attached with velcro and i think it´s a good placement if a quick follow-up shot is...

I have one. Red pad version but i mounted a limbsaver to ease the felt recoil a bit.

I ordered a .460 sizeing die from a well known manufactuer and got it a few days ago.

When i looked through it i clearly see that the sizeing part of the die is not centered. My earlier .459 looks...

It's not expansion that worries me. I just dont want to take the risk having a brittle bullet that explodes upon impact :-? The tests i have done with a hammer on my WW bullets seems promising as...

Oh, i hope that i don't have to go there. How is Fire lapping done?

It seems that VV 130 has about the same burn rate as Norma 200 and both RL7 and 3031 is a little faster than Norma 201. I will keep trying with Norma 200 and maybe go for Norma 201 to slow things...

I have only used Norma because of availability, Vihtavuouri may also be an alternative and N120 looks like about the same burning rate as RL-7. Norma 200 leaves some unburnt powder in the...

Lots of good information here! :-)

The alloy is pure WW and the lube is witelabel 50/50 Bees wax (alox/xlox i think) http://www.lsstuff.com/lube/index.html

I'm new in casting and are struggeling with precision/leading problem in my Ruger no.1

I got an NOE 460350 (RD) mold wich casts really good looking bullets. I size/gc them to .459 with a Lee sizer...

Did some shooting just to sight in the aimpoint on my Ruger no.1

Got a decent group i think with my start load of 50gr norma 200.

I shot my first cast bullets yesterday :). I only got hold of a .459 sizer but i seems to work ok and gets the GC:s on pretty tight it seems ;) Pan lubing with white label 50/50 Bees Wax which i was...

I guess i could do that but i needed handles for the molds so i bought sizer dies also. If i don't buy them i'm sure i will need them ;)


//Kristoffer

I think i will buy both a .458 and a .459 sizer and test which shoots the best. As the mold supposedly drops bullets in .460 i guess i will be covered with that ;)

Again big thanks to you all!
...

Did it again and hopefully right this time. helps knowing where and what to measure i guess ;-)

Anyway,this time i got closer to 11.60mm or about .0.4567". Halfway trough the barrel the slug...

Not to do Buckshot out of any business, but if you don't want to size your boolits, you can also seat checks with one of the NOE gas check seaters. You do have at least the two options.[/QUOTE]

I...

sorry i mean groove diameter, i have some language difficulties ;-)

I am really a beginner in this. I don't know how to measure the troat?

I slugged the bore with a sinker and that got me...

Big thanks to all of you!

//Kristoffer

Thanks!

I guess i will have to slug the bore!

If i understand it right i should i size to .002 over the bore size? so if i have .458 bore a .460 would be the right size?

//Kristoffer

Do i need a sizer for my bullets or are they safe to shoot without sizing? The bullet molds is NOE .460 and the gun is an Ruger no.1 45-70

I guess i need a sizer for seating gas checks. were can i...

Sweet!

Is it only the 500gr cavity that can be had with GC?

If that is the case i'll keep my earlier order (460350GC 2 cavity) and make an additional order and go with 2 cavity 500gr with GC instead.
...

I just saw this tread, how could i miss this :veryconfu

Scifijim: Is it possible to change my previous order (460350GC 2 cavity) to this mold instead? If so i would like 3 cavity (1@500(GC),...
