I use a .575 rb and a lubed .018 patch in my old Lyman plains rifle. It's loads nicely enough. If I were you I'd drop down a ball size to .570..Of course you can't go wrong by slugging your barrel.

Hmmmm..must a been one of those senior moments...

Thats the same load that my .32 Mowrey loves...the squirrels never feel a thing as long as I do my part...enjoy

The National Muzzleloading Rifle Association is still alive and kicking in Friendship Indiana. They have a website,You might want to google them and pay the site a visit. Regards Copper Country Yooper

flint or percussion???:neener:

I'd suggest getting a tighter fitting cap like maybe #10's or pinching the caps you're using so they fit on the nipples better. Works for me.

LYMAN??? They are one of the major manufacturers of reloading and bullet casting equipment. I don't own a LYMAN revolver but I do own one of their early PLAINS RIFLES and all of my centerfire reloading equipment is from Lyman. Don't be shy about purchasing any of their products. They have been...

Jamie,Your set up looks pretty close to mine and I've been using it since the 70's. I learned to cast from magazines and experience..Didn't have these fancy computers back then. It looks and sounds like you are well on the way to keeping your firearms fed. Just remember to avoid liquids while...

How about your ramrod..IS it always returned to the lugs or do you sometimes "forget" to return it to its proper place? Just an idle thought..

...and before you load,put a dab of lube on the cylinder's arbor. That will help prevent the thing from seizing up with fouling....

NO...The next town up the road..Eagle Harbor...The cty jail is in Eagle River:scrutiny:

Hmmm..I work in Calumet,Live farther north in the Keweenaw a stones throw from the big lake...we might have to burn some powder together one of these days...feel free to PM me...

JUst where in the U P are you located? Looks like a nice piece from the pic...

According to the old Lyman B P Handbook...25 gr of goex 3f under a 451 diam. rb gives 805 fps at the muzzle and 198 ft/lbs...thats from a 8" barrel. 6 more grains of powder and the velocity went on up to 933 fps...serious medicine for its intended purpose..

Looking for a way to get constant ram rod pressure? Just set your file on an old bathroom scale while ramming the ball..Who cares what it may look like at the range..if it works, go for it...

I pretty much clean both of my revolvers (a 36 remmie and a rogers and spencer) the same way EXCEPT..I have to pull the nipples and scrub it all down with a tooth brush... I'm kinda anal that way...:banghead:

You are right Dave. Veggie fiber wads do protect the base of cast bullets. I have a 451 Rigby that recommends the use of these wafers between the slug and the charge...

YEAH!!! The 4 bore...the ORIGINAL quarter pounder..:rolleyes:

It sounds like Spotted Pony and I started muzzle loading about the same time. We didn't have the internet back then with all of it's new info. Spotted Pony, just clean 'em out the same way you did back then. Soap and water. I use hot water some guys say cold...funny how over the years my battery...

TREE STAND:confused: Never been in one...always wandered around till I found a place that looks promising then get comfy on the ground..
