    Weird Lead

    The lead has too much antimony in it. Also, raise your temps. A cool mix and a cool mold will make a larger boolit or ball. All jacketed has antimony in the lead. So does shotgun slugs. The antimony is what gives the grainy look to the lead. If it was pure it would be nice a shiny. I use the...

    R.E.A.L.bullet

    If you need a mold made, get ahold of Tom at accurate molds. He can make just about anything you want. Tell him what your barrel measures and he will make it to fit whatever diameter you want. Link

    tumbling roundballs

    Throw in one stick of lead from a adjustable pencil and they will be coated with graphite like a factory ball. It will not let it get lead oxide on the outside also.

    Diamondback Powder

    I have shot about 1 1/2 lbs of 3f of Diamondback. It has been the only real black I have used so I can not really compare it to anything other than Pyrodex. It ignites better than the pyro, it is dirtier than pyro. Seems to smoke less than the pyrodex as well. I do like that. I get very good...

    LEE 360gr Minie 50cal.

    I have this mold and cast some bullets with it. I have not shot it yet, but I need to ask a question. The bullet falls all the way down the bore by itself. Are they supposed to do this? I know they are supposed to be easy to load, but this is too easy. I am afraid it will move forward before I...

    Beeswax source

    Look up a member on the Cast Boolits forum by the name of randyrat. He sells a few differant types of wax. This is where I get all of mine. The last time I was at a hobby store it was $17/lb. No way I will pay anything like that ever again. Randy is way cheaper and a very good person.

    Lead removal

    I use a all copper Chore Boy scrubing pad. The lead comes right out! Works better than the bronze wool.

    Got my first mold....Now what ??

    Just to put a coating on them like the factory balls have. They are nice and slick. Plus with them rolling around in the thumbler, it takes off what little sprue is there.

    Got my first mold....Now what ??

    I like to throw mine in my brass tumbler with a couple of sticks of pencil leads. the leads are the kind that are for the adjustable pencils. I let them tumble for about 5 hours. Make sure to do this outside as it is really loud. I also have a seperate tumbler just for this. It will graphite the...

    Another lucky deer.

    Foul it. Load it. Thats it. I have had the same problems with the RS powder as the OP. I tried everything, new nipple, new caps, new powder. One thing that worked was to go to real Black. It is harder to cleanup and fouls more for me. But it is worth it to know that when I pull the trigger, it...

    Another lucky deer.

    Did you slap the barrel a couple of times before loading the bullet or ball? This will help. One other thing I used to do is drop about 20grs of powder down the barrel and fire this off to foul the barrel. I have 3 ML's that shoot 4" higher on the very first clean bore shot. Once I foul the...

    If you have to use the Pyrodex, use the P. Would not go over about 80grs though. It works much better than the RS or Select. The Pyrodex is also more corrosive than real black.

    Is the TC lube you are using the Bore Butter? If it is stop using it. I never hear of anything good with using it.
