So I stumbled upon this forum!!

[AP2020]

I was speaking with Henry Firearms in regards to their single shot rifle's heavy trigger, the gentleman told me about a thread that mentioned utilizing a spring that Graingers sources.

Google searches have led me to here!

I messaged one gentleman here to see if I could acquire (2) two of the springs. ***EDIT*** He messaged me back and is out. No worries, he sent me a link to order them, so I did and now I will be a source for these springs!

Regardless, I have had my Henry H015 for almost a year now, and I plan on deer hunting with it next week here in Ohio. Here are some of the videos I have produced in the last 11 months!

AP2020- welcome to CB. If you decided to start casting to save money, forget it. You won't, you'll just shoot more.

You'll fit right in here, we like pictures and videos :bigsmyl2:

Casting boolits (lead bullets) properly is a science, once you know the basics, not a hard science.
There is a lot of good information on CB. The Google search (top right of every forum page) is a gateway to all the knowledge on this forum. IF you can’t find your answer there ask the question (Please be as detailed as possible, pictures help http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?344661-Capturing-amp-Posting-screen-shots I would be very surprised if there wasn’t someone on this forum that could answer ANY (firearm related) question you might have)

1. Boolits need to be cast .0005 to .003 (normally .002) over the slugged diameter of your barrel for accuracy and to avoid leading. If the fit is wrong nothing else will work right.
a. slugging a barrel (it is safer to use a brass rod or a steel rod with a couple of coats of tape to avoid damaging your barrel http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinSlug.htm
b. chamber casting https://www.brownells.com/guntech/cerrosafe/detail.htm?lid=10614
or pound casting http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?356251-Pound-Cast-instructions-(for-rifle-chamber)
2. the right alloy needs to be used for the velocity and purpose of the boolit (don’t fall into the trap of going with too hard an alloy

3. velocity the bullet needs to be pushed hard/fast enough to get the proper spin, have the proper velocity to accurately reach the target but not so hard as to be dangerous or strip the lead off in the grooves instead of spinning the boolit..
The boolit needs to be the right weight for the riffling/twist rate of your barrel
Powders range from fast to slow, you need to choose the right powder for your barrel length & application.
Loading manuals list the best powders for certain calibers and boolit weights.
NEVER use any posted noncommercial load data without first checking commercial load data to see if falls in the safe parameter for your firearm!! There are several firearms out there that can handle much higher pressures than others!!

Welcome to the forum! With your video abilities I'm sure you'll become a great asset. :D

[AP2020]

WOW!! Awesome!

Yes, I have been reloading for 30 years now, and casting boolits for 25 years. I still have my RCBS molds [primarily pistol calibers]. I do have a 300gr RCBS mold for a 45-70, though!

[AP2020]

I also have a high speed video camera of which I would like to see how cast bullets "behave" terminally speaking....

Really don't sound like you "stumbled".

Not really part of the welcoming committee, but I can see your arrival will be beneficial to a bunch of us, so welcome to Cast Boolits.

I don't know what you intend to catch said boolits with to examine them, many of the hunting loads members use here will go endways through an elephant.. :bigsmyl2:
