I am new to Muzzle Loaders, but also new to Casting bullets. I have a Lee 10lb bottom pour Furnace, RCBS Double Cavity .490 175gr Round Ball mold, and an RCBS Single Cavity .50cal 450gr. Flat nose mold. I have my alloy perfect for the round ball, and just about right (the bullets I have molded weigh out at 460 grains instead of 450.
Melt temp is right at 750 degrees, no frosty or wrinkled bullets (round ball or conical), so I am pleased there.
These will be shot with my TC Black Diamond XR.
As a newby in this shooting/loading venture (I have been reloading for Centerfire Rifles and Handguns for about 10 years now). I will most likely be seeking advice in the Black Powder Realm.
As an aside, I am also learning navigation of Cast Boolits. So far I have enjoy my look around. (BTW my Pride and Joy Gun is my 95% Original 1903 Springfield (Remington Arsenal dated 10/'42)
