I shoot the Holy Black and Brass by myself so thought i would share some results from the range with the group.(The range is out side the shooting shack which is 25 ft. behind the cabin. Eat your heart out):-D :-D :-D
Pedersoli 1874 Sharps long barrel in 45-2.4. MVA sharps sights front and rear.
Lyman postel 25/1 lead tin. Spent some time with learning to cast and came up with about 125 that deserved shooting. Still have a lot of learning on the casting:castmine:

Well we should all be so lucky to be able to walk out the back door to shoot. I'm jealous.

You're off to a good start, but wait till you use the Paul Jones mould.......you'll love it.
I have 3 of them and wouldn't hesitate to buy another.[smilie=s:

Have Fun Shooting,

Jon

As your bullet quality improves, you should be able to easily halve that 3 inch group. With the PGT bullet, you might even cut it to a third...and the Jones mould should make an expert caster out of you.

Are you dipping, or bottom feeding?

I'm a straight up dipper man. Bottom feeder, don't have one and wouldn't use it if i did. 45cal. rifle is all I cast for

Me, too. And, if they outlawed dipping, I'd have to quit shooting.

I have a bottom pour pot, and have tried the spout on each new mould, but never with good results.
But the spout is very handy for draining the pot to change alloy.
