I know most shooters at Quigley (my end goal with this rifle is to compete there next year) are shooting money bullets and postells, but I don't know which would be best in my rifle. It's 1:18" twist so I can handle the heavier 530+ grain bullets, but idk if the rounded lube groove bullet is better than the standard, should I get 530, 540, 560 grain? I wish they offered sample packs of like 10 bullets of each so I could load them and try them. I'll be shooting black powder exclusively and not paper patching, so the lube groove is of some importance. ]]> Molds...Maintenance and Design Apache Dan https://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?489053-Which-BACO-money-bullet-for-a-1885-High-Wall-45-90 Any still do removal of bevel bases on moulds? https://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?488973-Any-still-do-removal-of-bevel-bases-on-moulds&goto=newpost Mon, 27 Jul 2026 14:15:41 GMT Erik Ohlen, of Hollow Point Moulds, has done a few of my H&G moulds over the years.
My understanding is that he is no longer working on moulds.
I have need to remove the bevel base on a 4 cavity H&G mould.
Anyone know of someone that does this work?
Thanks. ]]> Molds...Maintenance and Design FISH4BUGS https://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?488973-Any-still-do-removal-of-bevel-bases-on-moulds <![CDATA[Just When You Think You've Seen It All]]> https://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?488952-Just-When-You-Think-You-ve-Seen-It-All&goto=newpost Sun, 26 Jul 2026 15:00:18 GMT Something like this comes along...

Lyman/Ideal No.429352, a 245-grain full wadcutter designed for .44 Russian by Minard Lefever Holman (1852-1925) of St. Louis, MO.
First appeared in Ideal Handbook No.22 (published in 1911) and continued through Lyman's Handbook No.41 (published in 1957).
It was illustrated in the first two editions of Lyman's cast bullet handbooks, but wasn't included in the load data pages.

Full wadcutters aren't generally on my radar, but a full wadcutter with a HOLLOW POINT? OK, that got my attention, and I had to have it.
I can't even imagine the logic behind what is generally regarded as a paper-puncher needing a hollow point, but yeah, why not?
And Lyman (as well its predecessors in the reloading tool and mould manufacturing business) would not hesitate to accommodate.
