I guess I don’t understand 351.

I use a locally made breakfast sausage and make milk gravy. Don’t forget the biscuits!

On the way…..THANK YOU SIR.

Thanks Froggie.
I’ve read and read and read about the 32-20 here, every aspect. Reloading had some challenges, but I only crumpled one of the first five test rounds loaded! I learned You gotta go...

Got it too! I blocked the email, which was not directly from Muzzle-Loaders.com.

I use hardball with SOWW’s. Basically, 5.25lbs hardball to 7# SOWW’s. Give me 11.3 BHN and shows some expansion in soft berm. I get good fillout in the molds.

Yessir 5 shots. Resting on a cardboard box, lol

Dodging rain showers, got to finally shoot my test loads for the S&W 1905 3rd change 4”. These were powder coated with Smoke’s Flame Red and the bullet was from Accurates clone of the original...

@lpel Thank you sir. I’m kinda fond of them. Hope they shoot well.

When I began this rabbit hole, I dove into learning about alloys, mixes, calculations, etc. I arrived at a mix whereby I could use SOWW’s, which were plentiful at a local shop, and Hardball from...

Flame Red from Smoke. First time using this color, but for a wheel gun, hey, gotta have it!

Another WSF; 9mm and 45ACP

It dropped at .315. It was designed for .314. I will size after PC to .314. Have not sized, nor PC, nor loaded as of yet. Ranch work this weekend, so hopefully next weekend I’ll load some up.

@green frog

COAL 1.555”
Powder - 231
3.1gr - 3.4 gr.

Will try and keep it low pressure for the old S&W 1905. Mainly a ranch pistol; snakes, varmints, etc.

Finally got my new mold out and casting.

Accurate Molds 31-117A - It’s Tom’s clone of the 311316 Lyman whereas I had him eliminate the lube rings as I will powder coat them. This mold dropped...

For my new model Win Sporter - 38-55.
An easy mold to cast with and makes great boolits. I powdercoat them and it is equally deadly on paper as well as HOGS. I cast about a BHN 11.3.
...

I only size after powder coating. I let the boolits cool to around 90 degrees, then size them.

38–55 at 100 yard ZERO with Williams FP sights.

1.6” at the highest point between 0 and 100. Anything I shoot ‘center mass’ out to 100 yards ain’t gonna know the difference. This rifle is...

I’m not expert, but I read a bit about lube/no lube rings on a cast bullet before I placed an order. We had several conversations along the way.

I have PC’d 9mm, 10mm, 38-55 with no issues and...

I have recently had Accurate make me a 32-20 mold with the standard Lyman 311316 tip and straight walls for powder coating. I’ll shoot it in a S&W 1905 4”. Haven’t used it yet.

Start a new history for yourself……..Who knows, maybe the Henry will become another 39a someday, and you’ll already have one! Me, I’ll keep the Golden 39A.

My 1911 model 1905 3rd change 4” shoots 115gr to point of aim out to 12 yards, at least. I’m going to load 231 from 3.1 to 3.4 and chrony. Also when I start casting I’ll use an Accurate mold I am...
