    need help with accuracy

    I have never measured the bore, as for the patch thickness could not say. the pillow ticking is pretty heavy. I have to give the ball a good whack to get it down the bore. the part I do not understand just because i switch powder, should it start ripping the patches? I know the goex burn faster...

    need help with accuracy

    first off with this rifle, Lyman trades with GM 32" 1-70 twist. I am using a 530. Rb I could put all the shots in a 2-3" circle using pyrodex rs with 80 grns. I posted these awhile back and was told I could tighten this up with goex black powder. So I go out any buy some goex to use. yes my...

    mail order lead

    Paul, i did not buy any of the scrap yard lead, the lead from the scrap yard is the lead in question. which has the "Lyman" logo and also some has the "saeco" logo. i'm taking this as being to much of a hassle with all the mixing, it seems better to just use the pure 99.9 stuff only. I am...

    mail order lead

    Claude maybe you can answer this question for me. I found some lead in a salvage yard here, and it has the LYMAN logo in the ingot they look to be about 1 lb each price per lb $1.00 I think this stuff is made of 5% tin, 5% antimony, 90% lead. Now I have already ordered some lead pure from...

    mail order lead

    so it's safe to say that their deal isn't all that bad then, and they do have some good lead.

    mail order lead

    it's pure 99.9% for $99 the 50 lb box delivered. I wouldn't pay $14 @lb to anyone. besides i think the going rate for lead is somewhere around $1.00 lb in the market. I have not checked out the local scrap yard yet.

    bullet casting

    From the responses it seems that it is all right as long you do not sit there and smell the pot all the time.

    bullet casting

    i have been thinking about casting my own balls (round balls for the muzzleloader) can some of you that have been doing this for some time tell me if you feel/or have been sick from breathing the lead fumes? I do know that when some people get older they tend to not go to the doc that much...

    powder measure's

    the reason for the question is because this is the measure that I have been using since i started shooting muzzle loaders. http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=831774&t=11082005 this peculiar measure is hard to set in between the lines for the 5 grn increments. i...

    powder measure's

    I hear talk of people measuring in 5 grs increments with their load developments. just where are you getting this measures that does it in 5 gr increments? the only ones that I've seen were for pistol and only went to 50 grs max.

    new muzzle loader

    i went and bought myself a traditional muzzle loader. I have been shooting an inline for the last ten years. i really think this is going to more fun to shoot than the inline I have. this rifle is a Lyman trades rifle in a 54 cal with the 28" barrel and 1-48 twist. I also have a 32" barrel in...
