    What type of corn meal can i use? Also a question about chainfire. /Paper cartridges

    Thank you i will contact you in future and buy the J&D conical mold. For now i will wait a bit because i got no money for now after buying lee's mold. I tried J&D conicals in my revolvers and i love them.

    So it's safe shooting with a lubed tight fitting ball or conical without any grease or anything in front of the bullet? Why did you have the chain fires? No lube at all?

    What type of corn meal can i use? Also a question about chainfire. /Paper cartridges

    Okay that was helpful thank you. When there is some corn meal in front of the powder doesn't that create more pressure? Does that affect velocity in any ways? i'm just shooting paper targets alone by myself so i don't plan winning any medals. I haven't been thinking much about that but i...

    Ooh interesting. What type of wax do you use? I was planing to get some crisco and beewax. Beewax seems hard to get tho. Not sure what more to use @bang

    What type of corn meal can i use? Also a question about chainfire. /Paper cartridges

    Thank you! That was lots of useful information to take in. I guess i shouldn't worry for not getting a lead ring since it still takes some pressure getting down the bullet into the chambers. And i was worried for the corn meal but i will just keep using it the way i do with round balls...

    Btw how much better are the kaido bullets then the conicals? Are these hunting bullets? They seem pretty expensive! Flat nosed so guess they're for hunting.

    Would a cal 44 remington 1858 do the job?

    Yeah man you're right but probably he would run and hide behind me as he always does while getting scared! But he probably would bark alot. Not sure if it's good or bad! Good thing is mr. Bear wouldn't get surprised and the bad thing is i'm not sure it wouldn't try hunting him while hearing...

    Interesting! In my tests conicals have been penetrating muuuch deeper then round balls but guess the round balls dump off the energy into body differently? dude that's where the problem comes in...i can't get cylinders like that over here since they're illegal. We got pretty stupid gun laws. I...

    Thank you! Yess 2 legged predators are the worst type! I will! Sounds like if it's pretty low chances of meeting a bear 😄 good to know! I didn't get kaido bullets tho got some conicals and alot of RB. Are kaido bullets some type of flat nose hunting bullets? I checked i see they got a flat nose

    Well not sure what a 22 would do to a bear tho..i mean it sounds like it would be like scratching the bear most of people here say the 44 wouldn't be enough. At same time i actually heard a interesting thing and i'm not sure if it can be true or not but i heard the largest bear ever shot was...

    Hahaha 🤣 got ya dude! Yeah the ones we got there are brown bears but after reading all this guess i will be fine! I will load up both 58's and make sure it doesn't smell much food! The thing is i only got 58's because of our crazy gun laws and they're original so i don't use tripple seven etc...
