texassako; Let me know who the 405 works for you. I started with them and they did ok but I got better results with the 500gr FN with my Pedersoli.

I just finished building mine and I had to open up the gas port since I have a carbine gas system instead of the pistol gas system, did any of you have the same problem?

45-70 Chevroner;

I had the same problem until I seated them a fraction deeper.

I have three loads that I use in my Pedersoli, the first was 16gr of Trail Boss, the second was 24gr of 2400 and my third is a duplex load of 54gr of wc867 over 2gr of IMR4227. With the Trail Boss...

I love 2400, I use it in my 357 and 45 colt My favorite load is 340 grain RNFP (a .458 sized down to .452) over a load of 2400 and it's running out of my 7" barrel at 1045fps and 1275fps from my 24"...

All I have is one word to describe the Handi, and all you have to do is look at your user name.

I have one in 45/70 and I shoot it open sights and can hit a 32oz gatorade bottle at...

I agree with 1shirt if you want a nice load I would try Trail boss I use 16gr under 405 and have very good accuracy at 100 yards, I am going to try it for my 500 gainers to see how they do.

I took some .458 340gr. RNFP boolits and sized them down to .452 and loaded them with 14gr of 2400 under them and test fired them out of my 92 and my Black Hawk with no problems. The grouping out of...

I have been shooting 7gr of TB under a 255gr rnfp boolit in my Ruger Black Hawk.

I wish to thank all of you for your time and comments I ordered a mold for a 500gr FN boolit and start casting it soon.

Thanks again

I sprayed the yard yesterday evening to kill the unwanted ones

Jim I had that happen at the house when I was checking the zero on my 3006 last year, so I started shooting in the morning or afternoon.

Chargar;
Thanks for the reply. Is WC-872 as good as WC-860, I have read that some people have had problems with pressure spike in hot weather. I live in SC were it is all most always hot.

Thanks...

Thanks to all of you for the information, I took a wooden dow and attached some 300 grit sand paper and went down to 600 grit and honed the cylinder and I got a sizer die for both the 45/70 and 45LC...

Chargar;

Thanks I understand, what do you think about the WC-867?

Okay;
I have a question I see everyone talking about WC-860. What is the difference between WC-860 and WC-872 and can WC-872 be used in place of WC-860?

Also I see that widener's also has WC-867,...

I love 2400, I use it in my 45/70,45LC, and 357. I also use Trail Boss for light loads.

Matt

Sounds good, thanks

I swedged my Pedersoli Sharps the other day and found it to be .4555 and I shoot a Lee 405HBFP (unsized) and it shoots very well out to 100yds. so far (I only have a 100yd range set up).

That cam sight sound interesting I would like to see that If you hear anything and I don't please let me know. I was looking for a ladder type sight for my model 92 but didn't find one...

Bullshop;

When I hunt I usually hunt from a stand and measure my distances with a laser ranger finder. The longest range possible is about 300yds. I have a Leatherwood scope on my sharps but would...

Bullshop;

I agree that shot placement is everything, if I don't think I can't put the bullet were I want it I don't take the shot. I would rather have a complete miss then just injure an animal...

MT; I didn't think the 405 would stay in at 150yds or closer but I am wanting to be able to get out to 300yds. Looking at the ballistic calculator a 535gr boolit with a MV of 1200fps at 300yds. it...

Thanks again all for the reply,

Bullshop; I am casting a Lee 405gr HBFP with just wheel weights and water cooling them and am using smokeless powder with Velocities between 1200and 1500 feet per...

Bullshop;

What mold would you recommend?

Larry;
