    What did you do today

    Best .58 Minie Bullet Mold?

    You are right of course, and, as you say, every rifle is different. However, the military used a .550 patched bullet, I have, this afternoon, made a new sizing die to swage my PH mould bullets down to that as, using them straight from the mould I couldn’t hit a barn from inside! Chadvance...

    I read somewhere that Pedrsoli used 1/4 x 28 But they are more likely to use metric. Someone here will know. Have you tried using a TPI gauge?

    Decision to make

    Well, the best laid plans as they say. Trip to Bisley off, ranges closed after changes to tier four in that and other areas in between. New pistol acquisition postponed, all this after I had cast the balls, made the wads and packed the car. All say ‘Ahhhh’😢😢😢
