Hello Gentlemen,
1st post, and looking for info to get started on reloading for my 45-70 Tri Star Sharps. It was a gift to me from a friend, who knows I have a strange obsession with lobbing large chunks of lead, out to long distances. I realize this rifle probably isnt the most accurate a guy can buy, but its all I have, so I just want to maximize its capability. I have accumulated all the reloading stuff necessary to begin. I was wondering if any of you could recommend a bullet mould to purchase for shooting long range rounds, that is somewhat affordable (LYMAN?) . Also, a starting powder load for 500g slugs. I am a total rookie at this stuff, and am proceeding with all due care and caution. ANY comment/advice greatly appreciated. Have a full can of IMR 3031 to burn up. I enjoy reading this forum, and its great to know there are so many liked minded Americans out there.
Merry Christmas to all of you. CB
