Was trying out some different reloads yesterday in my 22 Hornet, all bullets were .224, started with 55gr Varmageddon, H110, small rifle primer, bullet was tumbling and hit the target sideways,...

How many shots are you taking with a grease cookie before you have to wipe the barrel???
Forum: Cast Boolits
I just placed an order for 4, I'll give it a try, thinking it'll work great on my Sharps when I'm cleaning them up after shooting a few rounds of Blackpowder through them.
I have good accuracy using 4895 and 150 gr Hornady SST, I"ve got 4 308 rifles I like to play with and for simplicity I use this load in all of them, a FAL, an AR I put together, an PTR91, and a M1A....

Couple a quick questions, If shooting PPB is it necessary to wipe after every shot or can you use a blow tube? Second when shooting greasers backed by a grease cookie is it necessary to use a blow...

I"ve been shooting it in my 45/100 and using dacron as a filler with no problems at all, I do notice the dacron blowing out the end of the barrel is all.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I'm not compressing the 209 I'm just using a filler on top like the web site says. I read the sticky recommended by barrabruce, lots of info but I just wanted to make sure any 100% polyester backing...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Yea I guess I went the long way around in just asking is Dacron simply 100% polyfill? like all the others on the shelve? Thanks

Randy that sure is a nice clean looking CJ 7 you have pictured there! You've obviously put some work into that Rig!!!. As far as highlifts go I've only used them to pull fence post so far but have...
If you burned him with the buckshot I'd be real surprised if you ever see him around again! Unless he's a really dumb cat.

I've got a couple bottles of Blackhorn 209 I was going to try in a couple different cartridge loads and on there web site they have metallic cartridge load data posted and it states to use Dacron...

I just use this expander I ordered from track of the wolf, works good for my needs and the price is right.

This is also why you never pour directly down the barrel from your horn! Always use some type of measure.

Exal yauponcreek looks like a great set up for you, way to far for me to attend though. Have fun!
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Find one further north and I'd cross the red river to attend myself!
Forum: Black Powder Paper Patching
Far North, I appreciate your thread here, I"ve been struggling with PPing, Sunday I went out and tried to get it working and it was a disaster with what I had loaded, I posted a long thread over on...

First sorry for the double post, I'd delete one if I knew how. Second, I passed on the crack Shot, I'll find one around the 200 mark or lower, hopefully, thats in good shape, I just think they are...

I’m at a gun show and a guy has a stevens 22lr half octagon barrel that I’d like but what’s a decent price I’ve know ideal? He’s asking $375

I do have a government pattern mold so I guess I'll just use those in the carbine.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Drydock, I'm tempted to order one of the longer pushers from one of their other sharps models and see if it wouldn't fit. Not an expensive experiment and would know real quick it was going to work or...
