    TC maxiball too tight in a TC Hawken ?

    The lead is pure. Ingots came from an industrial source that required pure lead, and it comes up at Bhn 5 on my Ames hardness tester. Mold maker was in the title - it's a vintage TC mold

    TC maxiball too tight in a TC Hawken ?

    I have a good range rod made for me by October Country, but even with that I can't get it to move by hand, it has to be hammered. Yes the rounds are 100% pure lead. I have a few sizes of the Lee resizer and an RBCS Lube-A-Matic so resizing did come to mind. Before getting the right die I...

    TC maxiball too tight in a TC Hawken ?

    I've been pouring with this mold for nearly 30 years. The rounds fit down the barrel perfectly and shot extremely accurately out of my, that old, Traditions Hawken. I recently sold the Traditions after I picked up a new to me but never shot pre warning wall hanger TC Hawken. I figured it was...

    Will the bottom fall out of the custom build business?

    I'm pricing up my football card collection right now in order to sell it off (just retired and downsizing) Mostly mid 1990's stuff, Marino, Emmitt Smith, Brett Favre, Barry Sanders, Jerry Rice ...... that era. Cards that were worth $300 are now worth $30 or less. So yes, bottoms can drop out...

    Sources for Pedersoli parts ?

    Got the parts, they are correct. Just took a tiny bit of filing to get it to fit perfectly in the dovetail

    Sources for Pedersoli parts ?

    Yes, according to the tracking they should be here today Got em from Flintlock ETC - good price, fast shipping. Check only but sent the parts as soon as he received it rather than waiting for the check to clear. I'll use him again (until he's completely sold out and retired)

    Pedersoli ball mold - "Nominal" size ?

    18 posts and the The question still hasn't been answered How big is the Pedersoli mold and when they use the term "nominal" does it mean that it's not actually .310 as stated ?? Does anyone have one of these? If so how big is the pure lead ball it drops ?

    Pedersoli ball mold - "Nominal" size ?

    That means I have to shell out $125 for the mold and handles just to see if it's the size I want Uhmm, no !

    Pedersoli ball mold - "Nominal" size ?

    Yes, but the actual size of the mold (which is the point in question here) kinda plays a little bit of a role
  16. Sudsy

    Pedersoli ball mold - "Nominal" size ?

    Right which circles us back to the original question - what is the actual size of the Pedersoli mold ?
  17. Sudsy

    Pedersoli ball mold - "Nominal" size ?

    Right, but it's different for a ball mold ? Now the size is the same when it's finished? Doesn't make sense having it both ways

    Pedersoli ball mold - "Nominal" size ?

  19. Sudsy

    Pedersoli ball mold - "Nominal" size ?

    So I just broke out my calipers to try and figure this out and came to the conclusion that I am an idiot. That's really the only explanation that works here. It seems that last time I reorganized my mess, I put a bunch of .35 balls that go to a different gun into the box that normally holds the...
