There's no singular perfect load. Anywhere from 40 to 100 grains ought to work.

I wanted to start this topic as a poll but I don't see how to do that. So I'll pose a couple questions and call it a poll. :-P

1. Have you NEVER experienced leading in your career of shooting...

Good condition. Fresh battery. Has had very little use.

$45 TYD fifty states.

I soak them and swirl them in mineral spirits for a couple days then put them in the tableware basket in the DW for a cycle. The ones I've done that to have taken the pc just fine.

I cast also...

Ok, thanks.

Sorry for the delayed response. These measure 1.145 long.

Still available.

Could be that the barrel is rough enough to slice and dice your patches and allowing enough fire to surround them that they set fire. In a rifle doing the same the same the fire might get blown out...

Commercial castings by Mid Kansas bullets there are 220 bullets according to the weight. These were excellent shooters in my grandsons Super Blackhawk. Commercial red lube.

$40 TYD any of...

Commercial cast by Mid Kansas bullets from early 2000's. Good quality castings with red commercial lube. Good shooters in 45-70. By weight there are 60 bullets in this bag.

$30 TYD any...

These are bullets I've had for a long time I had several bags of these and have about 84 (based on total weight of the bag) left in the last bag. Red commercial lube. These were from a company...

Yogi, tried to contact you via PM about the 1881 but your box is full.

If I can't get BP I shoot arrows. :bigsmyl2:

Yogi, I'm getting this message when I try to message you.

Withdrawn.

I have PCd some 50 maxi balls and had good results with and without lube. Either way, no big mess. I wipe between shots so no reason to use lube. It will enlarge the bullet. If it's tight...

Looked good. Not explosive but a nice big clean hole all the way through.

A couple years ago I began powder coating for the 45-70 and have never looked back. Mostly 5744 but am looking for an opportunity to try Shooters World buffalo. My "do-all" is a Lee 405 pc'd and...

I tried the 450 grain 50-70 bullet sized for a fit (not tight not loose) in my 50 cal tc 1:48. It was a long time ago and I don't recall the charge except it was 2f and the recoil was abusive. �� ...

I think I see two entry and two exits. Which is the original?

I would try 5744 or Shooters World Buffalo.

It's a break action NEF! Now that's somewhat facetious, but those guns were not very well quality controlled.

Over length chambers was one of the problems. I had one of their 223s that with...

One thing I'm going to try with the PC maxis is pushing them base first into a 501 sizer and then extracting them with the front band remaining unsized . Maybe also experiment with partial sizing of...

Yes, of course, my discussion of flash rust was more questioning why we would want to use a procedure that results in a coating of rust in the bore before the cleaning process is complete....
