Rapier, do you recall the names of the fellows from the Colorado school, the “Colorado School of Trades”. I graduated there in the late ‘sixties. I’m still around and I’m 83...only the good die...

As suggested I ran the patched bullets through a Lee .458” sizing die. The actual bullet diameter miced .459”. MOA groups at 200 yards. Good improvement in accuracy. Also this bullet shoots well at a...

Avert, It was a great experience and wish there were more long range matches close by. If I were a young man of around 65 to 75 I’d be traveling and shooting a bunch of these LR shoots.
If you get...

Normally the first thing I do when waking up is have a glass of orange juice and two glasses of water. Besides hydrating the next time I shoot I’ll use eye drops that are developed for lubricating...

Thanks for asking Don, yes I did. I enjoyed it immensely. My first long range shoot. Unfortunately, I was only able to make the first day as I had family commitments for the last day. I was squaded...

This is really a sore spot for me. Inline ignition, scopes , white powder, BPCR’s and sabot loads are not in the spirit of traditional/primitive season hunts, and were not fore seen when the...

Don, thank you. I’m going to order the .325scope block today from DZ Arms. Yesterday I used a dial indicator with .0001” divisions and found that each division on the DZ scope mount was .001” and...

I order my lead alloy,16:1, from Roto metals or BACO, I’m wondering now if I may have gotten a softer alloy. It sure has a lot of engraving for supposedly 16:1 I’ll break out my hardness tester and...

Hi Arnie, thanks for weighing in. I’ll try your suggestion of reducing the belt dia although I was hoping initially to not have to neck the case. I’m heading in the direction to reduce anything that...
Forum: Black Powder Paper Patching
That’s the problem Don, there needs to be a match in bullet diameters, as I mentioned using thinner paper will work for the belt section then the bore section of the bullet winds up too small in...

Hi,
Last year with help from fellows including Arnie, I designed a DDPP bullet for my Browning BPCR, .45-70. It was designed to be patched with BACO .0020” paper and the belted portion to be a slip...

I agree with Kenny too. As the OP, I was tossing this idea out for two hundred yard shooting only. I’m out of ideas on how to load PP with reduced loads and still keep the the seating depth of the...

Wow! General Aviation has sure upped their game with high performance aircraft. A bullet in an ideal world would spin about its axis and any shock wave pressure would be evenly distributed, but when...
