If you have access to a machinist I wonder if he could not modify the mold to make it cast a flat point. Might even be able to make it a flat and hollow point mold. Take a look at how some of the...

Even if lead is unavailable and powder is also gone. I will still shoot. It will have to be muzzle loader with hand made round stones and home made black powder but I will still shoot. Actually...

I would like to ask why you reject you bullets. Are they not filling the mold? Do they have voids at the base. Do they have lines running over them? What is the reason you reject your bullets?

One of the ways you can get the OAL for a chamber is to drop a rod down the bore with no round in place. Mark the rod,I use a file. The drop the bullet you want to use into the chamber and hold it...

This statement makes me wonder how much experience you have shooting. Are you paying attention to what other people are posting??? Others have had rifles from H&R, some shoot and some don't. ...

Maybe I haven't layed out what I got clear enough. The bore is .4545 my bullets are .4585. This is not undersized. And I tried them at both the lowest trap door velocity and at the highest marlin...

Hi 38-55 I agree with you up to a point. If I was just getting a bad group I would say it's the load or the bullet or both. But no bullet,in my opinion, should keyhole at fifty yards at both high...

See if you can find a trigger from a Finnish Mosin for your Tula. This will help a lot. If you can't let me know and I will get the specs from one of mine and you can drill and insert a roll pin to...

Hi Leftiye
Yea I am a little POd but I'm sure their margins are very small. And the specs you stated is what I thought also but Gordon, in customer service, assured me he was giving me the SAAMI...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Well I just got off the phone with H&R. At first they said they would do nothing for me. They said that SAAMI specs were .456 for the groove depth. And by the way they assure me this is not a...

Thanks all for your help. First off I have the throating reamer for 45 rifle because I also have a Sharps falling block that I shoot Black Powder Cartridge out of. I wanted to shoot a 500 grain...

Hi All
I had a post about my Handi-Rifle keyholling at 50 yards. I am still waiting to hear from one of the gunsmiths that might be able to deepen the groves of my rifle. And after doing some...

Yea it will pass. I saw an auction on there that the guy has a picture of a couple thousand pounds of lead. He couldn't sell any a $0.99 for thirty pounds. It will change when this guys have their...

I look at this as a hole different problem. It's like Sundogg1911 said "My father taught me.." It's fairly clear that this guys father didn't teach him much. So I personally think it's up to the...

You mean my pharmacist has been adulterating my prescriptions??? Oh the Horror!!

You can fix it. A small file to the right spot and it's good as new. Don't ask how I know.

Is this for shooting ground squirrels in their den? And does it make major?
Forum: Cast Boolits
What I am looking into is having the rifling cut deeper. There are a couple of guys that do reboring. I am hoping, note crossed fingers and toes, that they are good enough with their machines to...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Well I just got back from the range. The 500 grain solids shot a one inch group. The 500 grain cast had an eleven inch group with two of the three keyholed. I am not happy. I doubt that H&R will...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Well I just slugged the bore. Actually I cast it with cerrosafe. And I found that On the lands I have .449 and in the groves I have .4545. This is a microgroove barrel I believe. This does not...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Well I'm all set to give it another test. I just loaded up twenty rounds. 10 of them are 500 grain laser-cast and ten are 500 grain solids. I got the solids from Midway in their blemished bullet...

I wouldn't want to burn this stuff off in my casting pot. I like to keep it as clean as possible. If I had this stuff I would set up a charcoal pit in my backyard and use a large lead pot to burn...
