1 560-570gr bullets drying their patches in the pan, 16 or 20/1 alloy. 2 Patched bullets diped and dried in RJL and ready to shoot, Rooster Jacket lube wont stick to wax paper. 3 Ready to chrono the little Shiloh 45-70, i leaned hard on it with OE 2FG. 4 560 to 570gr bullets at 1269 fps from a 45-70 is a hell of a load. 5 Five loaded at 1269 for range and fouling test. 6 Box with black bull about to be set at 200 yards. 7 Five rounds at 200 yards with ladder barrel sight, only used front rest, no rear bag.. 8 Lube star indeed present, unbelievable how clean it shot, no wiping or blow tubing. 9 That's a 6 shot group on the 700 yard gong, cant remember if i did that with my 45 3-1/4 or 50-90. 10 That is the 15lb 50-90 after firing a 200 yard group with target sights and 720 gr paper patch bullet.
The big Selous/Seyfried bullet comes from a KAL adjustable mould, had machine shop Bud turn the button off the seater stem, dont need a hollow base, that\s wasted space for lead, looking for max weight, also had him remove 30-40 thou of height from the stem, again, longer heavier bullet.
That mould throws a beautiful slick at .440 dia, wet patches up to .448" with 9lb onion skin paper, little Shiloh is an 18 twist standard weight 30 inch barrel, a ten pounder you can carry all week.
