    Having trouble Casting

    I believe my mold and ladle were at the right temp. Maybe the pot was too hot. I will try again. i just couldn't believe it, the film just kept coming.

    Having trouble Casting

    I melted some .490 cold swagged round balls that were sitting around in my new Lee pot. I did flux the melted lead and had nothing but problems. I could not get any clean lead. From the start I had a film on top of the lead and could not pour anything. I would try to clear an area on the top...

    Bag Mold?

    How about the quality between the balls from your lyman and your callahan mold, would you say one is better than the other, not considering that you can make multiple balls at one time with the lyman or lee?

    Bag Mold?

    I have been looking at the Lee molds as well. They also leave a sprue? How do you remove the sprue from the ball using the modern molds, with a knife?

    Bag Mold?

    I want to start casting my own round balls and would like some opinions from anyone who has had experience casting round balls with a bag mold. Some questions I have are how consistent the round balls are when finished out of the mold and how does the sprue affect accuracy?

    percussion caps

    I have used both Reminton #11's and CCI #11's and I cannot say anything bad about either one, but lately I have been using the Remington's and never had a miss fire in 500 + rounds.

    My Beginning and First PRB Deer

    Well from the beginning this adventure began when my grandfather began taking me hunting with him before I was able to get my license. One of my first and fondest memories hunting with my grandfather was when he killed two big does with his T/C Renegade in .54 caliber when I was about 8 years...

    First Deer with PRB.

    First I want to say thanks to everyone who offered their advice on hunting with the PRB when I was questioning it. Yesterday was opening day of muzzleloader season in New Jersey and I was in the stand all day. The last 15 minutes I can see a buck coming my way and he is walking a trail that...
