Really nice.

I agree. Had a friend that was shooting beside me and had a bad delay fire consistantly. I checked his pan and it was completly full and his primer hole was just a little under the plane of the pan. After he backed it off to just under the hole, no delay.

I always keep wiping till the sizzling stops. For me this gives a more consistent finish. I always rub it back though with steel wool so it doesn't have a solid rust appearance. I like to hit high spots and edges to give it a used look. Kind of like a used service rifle. Look at an M4 that has...

Are those double sided so you can flip it when the first dulls?

Thanks, found them this time. I've looked there twice and did not see them. Thanks for the link also.

Lee doesn't make the mold for that size either any more.

Track doesn't sell .525

Yep, just wish I had a source for .525 balls without having to buy a mold to try them all.

Tanner for sure if you want a special size. i've got 2 of his moulds. He'll make any size you want up to cannon balls :grin:

Does anyone shoot a .525 ball out of their .54? I bought some .530 and they held a really good pattern with 15 thousands patches but it is really tight. I would like to load without a starter by down sizeing to the .525. Now the next question, how much accuracy do loose by being able to finger...

Must have been down for maint. Thanks all.

Is Mr. Tanner not making molds anymore? Couldn't find his site now.

It's a .54. 38" swamped. The fore arm have fluted ridges running the length. Still letting the finish cure then I'll nock the shiny down a bit with some denium.

Took me long enough. One of those work a little then sit in the corner for 2 months. [/img]

Ok, thanks. You've gave me some pointers in the past and thought I'd ask. I've always done it the same way Bill was talking about and will continue it on this build.

I was hopeing Zonie would chime in. :)

Yes burnishing.

When should this take place? Before the clear coat or after. I am working with curly maple, aqua fortis and True oil finish.

Hopeing to make the trade fair. Still need to mail back my form though.
