Living again hopefully, here. But I’m trying to get my new mold to work the tail end of this winter. Lyman 266. And 154 grains. They are getting smoother. Mostly getting remelts. I don’t go out...

I always heard to get hardball for rifle boolits (92-2-6) which. Is one of the hardest of bullet alloys. Is to mix pure lead to Lino (84-4-12) in a 50-50 ratio. 5 pounds to 5 pounds. It’s exactly...

170 grain for light loads and 196 for nice recoil and surplus ammo of the past. I like the old Romanian. Use good data because commercial ammo is loaded down. Make sure you have a .323 groove in 8...

If both imr and hodgdon is listed the data must be good for both. I would use it myself. But try a newer manual.

I empty mine to clean the red and white oxides out of it with a wire brush, when it needs it.
Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
These stories are just sending me right to the gunsmith. I was a sheet metal mechanic and precision is largely beyond me. Even when working with 1/32 tolerances. I can make a jig but not with...
Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
Can one of these work for an amateur with a drill press? They have a jig on gunbroker for $147. This might be less than a gunsmith to do a drill and tap. Sportsman’s warehouse wants 35$+ 25$ per...

You need to slug your bore. It might have .268 grooves like the carcano.
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
If I remember a pin frog has some weight. But maybe they are antiques? Craigslist or gunbroker as lead, seems like they would be worth more than 2-3$ a pound on eBay.

Alms for the poor. I don’t need any powder right now. Cut my shooting way down. Retired. It’s about 100 bucks to buy a pound on line. I can’t go on much longer. Bp available though. Primers...

That nice that they will shoot. Mine like the 405 lee. I shot a heavy j word with a bore rider nose. It was a no go. You like bp or smokeless?
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
I shot 13.5 grains of 2400 in a 44 special on a cold day. The gun handled it. I was doing an Elmer Keith with it. It’s on my bucket list.

Cut it with range scrap for Lyman #2. And add 2.5% antimony.

I hear it’s a caseful. Not compressed much.
Forum: Black Powder Substitutes
Yeah everybody complains about accuracy with round balls. But not in mzldr s.
Forum: Black Powder Substitutes
The 405 gr grouped at one hundred. It shoots good with everything. 500 gr not worth a heck. Needs more power like 53 grs of 3031 like Keith shot. Smokeless has the power to get out there a little...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
I’m trying 300 grain bullets in my gun, the longest hollow points I can find. Lyman 457121. Maybe they will shoot flatter. I’m using smokeless and T-7. Did you buy a CVA yet? Accuracy not good...
Forum: Cast Boolits
You can go down but you can’t go up. Use the data for a heavier bullet on a lighter bullet. Not the other way around. Which is what these guys are saying. You could even go 170 grain data for the...
