RE: Question?? What is the standard size for 50 cal bullets
[blockquote]MLKEITH-Interesting indeed..I my have to cut my own mold...I just aint to keen
on having all that plastic from the sabots breeding in my barrel...Or am I wrong about
that being an issue? I have heard it is a real pain to get out of the barrel..
Cayugad--Have you got any thoughts on the matter? Looks like you much be a real
metal head,doing all that casting..I make bullets for my 45-70 Sharps and will be
for my 50-70 Rolling Block...Are you casting all from lead or do you use a mix...I was
told once that you can't
use wheel weights to make round balls..Hell they shoot fine out of my C V A 50 cal
cap lock..I think the big thing with pure lead is that it has it's own lubeing effect,
sort of like grafite does...
I also have used the wheel weights for making my 45-70 bullets with no big issue..I cannot
see where the pump up of the bullets is any big difference..Well enough rambling...
