I'm having entirely too much fun with this gun. Been wanting a 45 for a very long time. I finally got one, and put some rounds downrange with it today. I have been intrigued with the idea of using 45 caliber cast pistol boolits in a ML for a while now. I have been casting 45's and sending them to friends who shoot them in sabots in their 50's, to great effect. Today I cast up some LEE 200 grain TL SWC's from pure lead. I lubed them with crisco, and seated them on top of a felt wad, over 60 grains of Pyrodex P. Range was about 50 yards, and I was smacking my 10" pistol gong solidly, just rested over the railing on my back deck. I can tell this gun is going to be a heck of a lot of fun to tinker with. I may just cast up some 250 grain SWC's just for grins, to see how they do. Anyone else gone down this road?
