Bullshop, what lube are you using?
Bullshop, what lube are you using?
Most often I use BS#2 a black powder lube if I am not shure what powder they will be used with. If I know it will be smokless powder I use Speed Green.Originally Posted by Hip's Ax

The freebore throats are not being made any more they would shoot but were very time consuming to do so with . there is a fellow up in the dakotas that shoots origional loads and has checked numerous origional rifles .. if they have a 15 degree throat and a tight chamber theyshoot very accurately . my load in the 110 is 90 gns of Kik 2F and a 3/8 grease wad between 2.30 veg wads .. it shoots very clean .I use a blow tube with 2 breaths just so as not to tear the patch and my bullets are 447 before wrapping and will fall into the barrel from the breach end wrapped .. I have a taper in the bore so they will not fall thru the muzzle .I also use a 550 with 100 gns Kik 2F and it works well also these are shot out of a 15 # sharps .
i have a 26 in barreled rifle I made up for hunting and am trying to get it to work with these loads as they are clean .. I just have to work through the torque of the rifle and it will be fine........Dean

Thanks bullshop, I'll have to give them a try. Now a 230Gn 452 Boolit, Paper wrapped and travelling at warp speed in my 45/70? I'd like to see that!

I used to load a 200gn swc .451 patched for small game in an origonal trap door carbine. It shot good enough to pick the head off a grouce at 30 yards or so. I shot them real light cant remember the load but was like a 22. Never did think of trying to engauge warp drive. That would be a job for a siamese not a trap door.Originally Posted by 4fingermick
