Have you sample lit something with that Powder/Acetone binder dried out on it.
You can test it and see if that binder with the powder Boosts the ignition of the primer.

I just use a few drops of Nail Polish in Acetone for my binder.
There is a little color in the Acetone but barely not super visible color when dry.
You don’t want to put too much nail polish in and...

Nope
I had to make my own toys.
I still do.

Funny thing is,
About 90 % of things that I do or teach others , were things that I figured out how to do them myself.
Maybe in my life, I have always had too much money and time.

Thank you friend.
I am glad that I helped you get pointed in the right direction.
I love helping others.

I do have access to that kind of cash.
But I am not into those type of revolvers any more.

I went to the .61 bore diameter on that Renegade because , I had a .600 dia round ball mold.
The rifled barrel shoots better at 100 yards then the original .56 SB did.
I intended on using that .61...

I also have a .75 cal smoothbore flintlock Blunderbuss / Musketoon that the barrel is 1” wide at the narrowest point near the muzzle of the barrel .

I had Hoyt take a 1” octagon 56 smooth bore out to .61 rifled barrel
That barrel fits one of my TC Renegades.
Bobby Hoyt can give you the information you need to know for your type of barrel

I also tried 45 casings filled with lead . They worked good but there was still just a little lead exposed.

I probably could have done...

When I tried using Powder Coated balls in my mill,
The PC did start chipping off .
It did leave tiny colored flakes in my powder.
But didn’t affect the powder burning.
But you can see,
If the PC...

You can always size those slugs to a diameter that works best for your gun.
The size of your castings can also be from the type of material you are using.
Pure lead cast different than most alloys....

Those slugs look good.
You are using them for shooting out of the cartridge in both of your pistols.
Will that 200 grainer work as a conical in your BP revolver cylinder.

Are you going to try the softer lead for the boolits that you will shoot with BP

Still cheaper than finding a brand new barrel and also paying shipping

I have had to use a PVC spacer under my die to press the pucks out of my die.
My spacer was just made out of a piece of the right interior sized PVC pipe , glued into a PVC collar or coupler to make...

I haven’t had a barrel done for over a year and a half.

I have pressed a half pound of powder using that aluminum plate under the die so far.
It has worked pretty good.
Now my aluminum plate is the bottom of a Cat Food can that I pounded more flat.

I have built many Mauser 93’s over the years.

Today I think I am going to solve my problem and accuracy for loading Homemade powder that weighs less than factory powder or less density.
I am just going to take me Adjustable powder measure an...

Thinking that small pucks to fit the barrel makes me thing of Rocket Powder too.
Some people might want to use some kind of Pucked powder to make loading easier since they don’t have to weigh the...

On a couple of rifles that I built that I intended on using only lead slugs, I took a piece of the tip of the barrel about 1 1/2” long and made a die out of it to Pre-Rifle the slugs to match the...

The reason I use a plate of some type to sit on my presses steel plate is because I set up the die on the bench next to my press.
I was setting it up on that plastic plate , then I could move it on...

When I first started Corning my powder.
I used that same type of plastic that was 1/8” thick for spacers.
Like you said like the milk bottle spacers. It would compress and spread out so much that...
