    Identification Help

    Approx 62 cal barrel length unknown. There a local guy hear selling it. I personally haven't held it yet I don't doubt that it's old but with how bad the pitting is near the pan I don't think it's a shooter like I wanted, basically now it's pricing on a wall hanger

    I have a .562 mold and a .575 mold haven't tried the .562 yet and couldn't even come close with getting a .575 in with a .15 patch. I ordered some .10 so we will see if they will fit. It shoots lights out with.570

    Cap madness

    I would look at the nipple. I have two lymans that had same issues found that the factory nipples were not tapered so the cap did not seat all the way down. Not all #11 are the same. This happened on two different lymans couple yrs apart. I order the Hot shot nipple from tow and never had a...
