Couple questions
What happened to the folks that used to convert the h and r guns? The website was smokelessmuzzloadinginc.com I believe. He done a conversion for me years ago.

Question 2

If or has anyone tried the pitman or some other bullet that fits the lands and groves instead of a sabot?

Thanks a lot.

Can’t help with smokelessmuzzloadinginc.com. Never heard of them.

Has anyone tried a (smooth) sized bullet that fits the lands instead of using a sabot in which rifle?

Yes, lots of us have in various rifles.

How do you go about getting the proper size? Slugging?

Sizing die. Either hand or reloading press. https://hanksprecisiongunparts.com/c/bullet-resizing-dies

How do you get the proper size for the bore? I seen where custom rifle builders size each bullet to the barrel. Thanks.

Yes, I have sized and shot the Pittman 275gr Accumax from my smokeless. Smoothformed. They shoot great. It is a quality made bullet.

It just takes a little time. You adjust the die just a single notch at a time until you can push a bullet down the barrel (breech plug removed). You don't want it so loose that the bullet comes off the propellant, and you don't want it so tight you have to pound it down.

Do you mean an H&R 45-70?

No. I sent him a h and r action. He put a 50 cal barrel on it. For smokeless powder.

Well I ordered some 502 diameter bullets. Thor’s. Anyone shot them. I figure I will have to buy that sizer but that’s cool. I’ll know what size to order after that.
