A Burris Fullfield II 4.5-14 AO scope is hard to beat for the money.

I have never had an ignition problem.

I have an Lee Karabiner that casts about a 215gr bullet, if I recall. It shoots well. I never plinked beyond 100 yds myself, but I would guess your rifle would shoot cast bullets well.
You may...

I have done this to 2 rifles, using the same spring kit, and you are spot on. It works well, inexpensive, and easy to do. My results mirrored yours, a decent trigger. Dan

Lapping and alignment are important. But when you don't, you can use a piece of electrical tape on each ring, top and bottom, and snug the screws. Not tight, just snug. The tape is soft and...

Your mould that casts .462 may be too big, and be deforming enough that your accuracy suffers.
Have you tried "normal" .458 moulds , and shoot the bullets as dropped?

I would try lock washers. The "star" type. Dan

That is beautiful! I have browned some muzzle loaders, but not rust blued anything. The beginning of the process looks similar. Dan

I have no gun "needs", but this is one of my "wants".

pyrocreations.com has canon fuse for what I think is a fair price.

Thanks Green Frog, that is what I was looking for.

That is very cool!!
Maybe someone can start a thread of the different things you can make that are useful for hand loaders?

That is a nice rifle, and classy. I also have a nice sporter that my late uncle sporterized in the early 60's, when everyone was doing it.
I restored it last year, with my own additions, and would...

I too, have a Ruger Mark II with a 10" bull barrel. I have fired a gazillion rounds through it, and it seems to be as accurate as the day it was born (late 80's). I have a Volquartzen rear sight,...

It is not Israeli, but I have a Spanish FR-8 Mauser, it is one of my favorites.
There is an Israeli Mauser for sale in the Atlanta for around 900 bucks. PM me if you are interested in a link...

I'm using 17.0gr 4227 and Lee 358-200, works well.

You also have to sand or bead blast it first, correct?

The Burris FFII 4.5-14 AO won't break the bank, and I like mine. I can't help with the mounts. I found the best price on Amazon.

Mild loads in the 40 S&W range will drop the brass right next to me, and make chasing down brass a pleasure! Plinking is "more funner" with mild loads and easier to find the brass.
I only load to...

That is a beautiful rifle!!!
I have a 44US, and love it. These old Mossbergs are shooters for sure.

I'm not a picky guy, but I don't like the looks of that groove.

Thank you folks! I learned a lot.
imashooter2, your comment got me to thinking. It would be neat if they made a set of shell holders to go with dies meant for several calibers. I'm thinking die...

This may be a dumb question, but what is the purpose of extended shell holders, or using a shell holder extension? I have loaded a very long time, and have never had the need....I think.

I'm currently using good old 4895 and Lee 405. Varget and 5744 work very well too.

When it gets warmer, overalls have lots of pockets and are easy on the belly.
