So is that per ball or for all three? Because you say the tribe all is a lot more gun but you are showing the foot-pounds of the 4570 to be more than the foot-pounds of the tribal.

The foot pounds you recited must be in error. You listed the triball load as less than my 45-70.

I am wondering what the recoil is like shooting the triball? My biggest gun is a 45-70 shooting 405 grain bullet @ 1,800 fps. Three .600 balls must weigh around 1,100 grains. With 3 times the...

I have decided on a mossberg 500, 20" barrel with the threaded barrel for choke tubes, camo color, fiber optic sights. $400 for 3" or $455 for 3.5" 12 gauge. Cost not that different. Is there a good...

Since we hunt western country I am looking for a shotgun round that will give me some range. My assumption is that the triball will carry a lethal punch further away than will buckshot.

Most of the Triball discussion is in the past. So I thought I'd ask a couple questions with a new thread.

What is the optimum barrel length and choke for triball loads? I am interested in a...

I am on a quest to develop some predator shotgun loads and maybe even deer loads. I am going to cast my own shot. I currently cast bullets and all I need is a mold. But I'm totally new at loading...

His method includes spraying with WD40 prior to sizing and seating the gas check. Then dip and cookie cut, done. My feeling is that you get a log more lube in the grooves by dipping.

There is nothing like the smell of burning alox or 2 cycle fumes in the morning floating gently over the water.

I made up some of the Recluse 45/45/10. Do you guys think it will work with this method? Will it work better than straight alox at rifle velocities?

Wondering if anyone else is doing this method.

Looks pretty efficient and he claims to get good accuracy and velocity without leading.

A lot more...

My anal side took a look at the MSDS sheet for JPW. Only about 30% wax and the rest is solvent. I expected the wax to cook down to a third of its original self. But stopped after the suggested 20...

Not sure that the 338 is going to come into it's own with cast bullets? My favorite bullet is the Sierra 250 grain spitzer boat tail @ 2,800 fps. Great downrange energy retention and punch. 74...

Very encouraging.

When you are talking 2-3 thin coats, are you talking applying and letting them thoroughly dry and re coat or just keep going at one session?

I have not worked up anything...

I have lyman #2 alloy right now. It seems to have a narrow range of temperature for good mold fill out. I shoot most of my bullets in the 2,000 to 2,500 fps velocity range. Any recommendations on...

Yes is my vote.

Should I consider these bullets rejects or just shoot em? Will they effect accuracy? I shoot lever guns mostly, but maybe these will make good handgun bullets out of my 2.5" Ruger Alaskan, since...

If it is in fact too hot of a mold, how do you maintain proper mold temperature when water quenching? Its hard to keep rhythm and go through the bucket looking at each bullet for feedback.

Here is my first attempt of posting a pic. Not all bullets came out like this. I am using Lyman #2.

I cast some bullets yesterday and dropped them in water. I got some aggressive frosting that I would actually call dimples on one side of the bullet from half the mold. This is a Ranch Dog 432/265...

Johnson paste wax shows up on the home depot website too. Maybe in stores?

Custom molds are all I can find. LBT or Accurate Molds.

I am looking to push the limits of tumble lubing. I believe that there is a lot of negative bias toward tumble lubing. Ranch Dog seems to...

Maybe some clerification is needed. I want to continue with tumble lube and carry it throughout my cast bullet needs.

Don't ask me why, maybe because I do not have a lubrisizer. I am using Lee sizing dies and tumble lubing. But I want to try to avoid the lubrisizing process all together.

What kind of...

Ressurected from the past. The beartooth catalog lists the subject bullet as .32 meplat and as a FN, not a WFN. Doesn't appear to have the bulk in the nose that double tap shows in their pictures....
