I am very new to this. I have my burner built, my ingot molds built, 260# of pure lead cleaned, with @30 ingots fluxed and poured, but i have not yet found the mold for the .50cal conicals for my muzzleloader. It would be nice to find one of those estate sales or attic finds.

Been casting 705 gr paper patch bullets for my 50-90 Sharps, I run a three seven alloy that Brinells at around 15, they still bump up nicely for 1.5" four shot groups at 100 yards with factory barrel sights on my C-Sharps rifle.

Hey Tom,
No particular weights, I use the little sticky note pad paper from the office supply store.

So what message do you write on the paper before you put it around the slug and load it up. Just Curious

A siamese mauser has always been at the top of the list in a way, just never managed to trip across one i could steal at a lowball price.

one thing i wish someone would tell me how to do, but i want to make a duplex load bullet. Real hard base, soft lead front. I use two pots, one for pure lead plus a tiny amount of tin, and another for WW alloy. A pistol case makes a great dipper for the pure lead, depends on the size of bullet but often a 9mm or .380 case works well. Wrap a piece of baling wire around the case rim for a handle, and adjust case length so you'll use a full case of lead every pour. You want to get the mold hotter than you normally would; the idea is to keep the pure lead nose liquid or close to it while you pour the other alloy on top. Heat up the mold past the point where you get frosty bullets from WW alloy. Pour the pure lead in from the .380 case dipper, then the WW alloy right away. The mold will take longer to cool enough to drop the bullets, so it's a slow process. If desired, water drop or heat treat the bullets, the nose will stay soft.

yondering's spot on. you can adjust the amount of soft nose by trimming the pure lead dipper case, thereby throwing uniform casts. i have 5 cases set up the way Yondering describes of different capacities. makes it handy
