I have this one too. Allows 5 single stack in a 3" . 410. Plus works great in my Simpleshot slingshot too.

I bought a Browning 16 A5 last year. It is a 1947 low SN X3*** in very good condition. I've never shot it because I need shells, can't find a box locally and have the loader but I'm too lazy to order...

For lube in my BP guns I use a 50/50 beeswax to unsalted Crisco by weight and add olive oil to get the consistency like I want, say 3 - 7 TBS to 1 lb of mix. And half a green crayon for color and 8...

Welcome aboard.
I'm not sure if you call a NOE 454-350 333gr GC'ed-HP in front of 25.0 gr of H4227 a fullpower load or not but it makes my 5.5" SRH roar. LabRadar said MV was 1306 fps. They were PC'd with Smokes JD...

I run my penta pins about 750° and the round at 720°. With both I cast fast to keep the mold temp up to frosting level.
As to the 752° level we all have to weigh the level of risk we each are...

I've used it for fast 1230 fps 1oz 2-3/4" 20 ga pheasant loads since 1970. Also in .44 mag and .357. I'm now saving the last 2#s I have for the shotgun loads.

I have a NOE 358-100 2 cavity PB. with 3 pins, they cast: solid = 101 gr, Cup point= 97gr and LHP=90 gr. It drops 0.359" dia.
Forum: Casting Equipment
Use a graphite pencil to color the tips of the pins. I also use some 400 grit sand paper to polish the pit tips too if they look rough.
BK beat me.
