.405? You must be patching to groove dia.? Or do you not wrap the .405 base? I'm not familiar with duel diameter. It appears the base is patched to groove dia. and the rest is bore dia. Correct? What...

I use a slight taper crimp. That may be my problem. thanks for pointing that out. This is my first year with paper patch bullets. So I'm learning as I go. So you're suggesting not to crimp and just...

that could be the problem. I use a bore wiper with 2 felts and it is pretty saturated. even though I run a dry patch behind it. I do anneal all my cases. I only use a .030 veg wad on top of the...

I just loaded and shot my first paper patch bullets. Can someone explain what I have going on here. The cartridge has what seems to be a hard baked on black ring around the lip of the cartridge after...

As I stated before I wanted a 40-65. So instead of a 45-70 with a 20 twist barrel it is now a 40-65 with a 14 twist. Also instead of a 5lb trigger pull it now has a 2lb trigger pull. Also, instead of...

Forum: Boolit Lube !
I may have come up with a way to lube the reduced band bullet with the lubrisizer. I don't size my bullets in the lubrisizer so I'm running a .410 bullet into a .410 die. the bullet measures .399 at...

The bullet is a 40 cal. 420 gr. money bullet. The barrel is a 30" 14 twist .40-65 load will be Swiss 1.5 https://castboolits.gunloads.com/asset.php?fid=258220&uid=60272&d=1662034693

I have a 4 grease groove money bullet with the front band reduced. When using a lubrisizer, if I'm careful I can get all 4 grooves lubed. But because of the reduced front band there are times when I...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Since the 40-82 silhouette/ Crossno is basically a stretched 40-65 case. can 40-65 neck sizing die be used on a fire formed 40-82 silhouette case? I'm thinking by backing off the die that extra .300...
