    Spark and Flame at the Range!

    Traditions 3 piece brass is convenient and if you have a very long barrel get two. TRACK of the wolf and others have 1 piece stainless.

    WITHDRAWN Lyman 429383, 44 cal. Mold

    It is hard to tell from the image. What condition are the cavities and how much for shipping to 71105?

    My balls

    I agree. The mould is not closing tightly. Gently tap the metal part of your handle with a wooden mallet while squeezing the handles closed. This should help close the moulds. Some moulds just need help. Also Frosted = Hot

    What is the deal with the fouling ring

    Three weeks!

    I’ve been swabbing with bear grease from October Country between shots. I use a strip of pillow ticking about six inches long attached to the ramrod to apply it. Just don’t use too much. I’ve gone five months without cleaning but plan to clean soon.

One of the things that I have learned is that I can take a socket from my 1/2" impact set and place it on the top section of the rod.
