I have tested this from a bench quite a bit and there is an accuracy difference when compressing the powder. I also use a cylinder press and load off the gun, which makes compressing the powder easier and more consistent. I don't shoot this way every time I go but have done quite a lot of this...
IME Piettas tend to have the arbor correctly fitted with the bolt often being more of an issue. Ubertis are typically the reverse of that. It'll have a short arbor.
Crawdad,
I don't know if you tried this, but, when I am working up loads and trying to squeeze the best accuracy out of one of these revolvers, I always weigh the balls and use only the heaviest ones. Not advocating that approach for all shooting, but for working up a load and figuring out the...
How thick is the Mobil 1 grease? If you "packed" the cavity wouldn't that much grease provide enough friction to slow the action parts down, bolt arm resetting over cam, or otherwise make things feel sticky, etc?
I use a white lithium grease and graphite on the action parts, but don't pack...
Sadly, somebody that didn't know better might've taken their advice and loaded that up and shot it. I live in SWFL and that particular store quit selling real BP about 6 months ago. I think BPS in general has quit selling it.
If you already have them, see if they shave a ring of lead. If not, give them a soft tap with a mallet, you just need a few thousandths, then shoot em and get the .454's.
I can't remember the twist rate off the top of my head, but I have it written down in my box. I do wipe between shots, it's probably not totally necessary, but when I was working up loads it was a good habit I got into. In my experience the smaller calibers are more sensitive to all the...
Has anybody used a .315 round ball in a .32 cal squirrel rifle? I've typically used a .310-.311 round ball and varying thicknesses of patch material with 25G's of 3F. I guess there'd be room to move down a little in patch thickness and try the heavier ball, has anybody done it? Or have any...
