Yep, Doc sent me a stiffer spring - cured all ills!

Yeah, Dan and his wife run a low budget operation, and you may receive bullets in home-made boxes, but there are a lot of options on the website, if you're patient. And Dan's quality control is unmatched IMHO compared to other sources. Also, they are very responsive to questions, e.g. about...

Would these work on a Bison? Interested; thanx

Ditto the big, heavy slug. My .504 Bison does best with Steve Brooks 500 grain pure lead (from Dan at BullShop) over a felt wad and 95 grains Pyro P. YMMV

Very nice advice. Many thanks SL

Thanks, I like it! How do you keep the brush attachment from unscrewing with CCW rotation?

Thanks, Ed. Could you provide a product example? Thanks

Thanks, hallofin! That looks like what I need. I tried looking for a brass brush in 19/32", but couldn't find any that didn't require orders of 12! BP threads are 5/8 - 18, so the above should work well

I have a .504 Bison. I was wondering if you have any tips to better clean the foremost BP threads and throat area. I use PTFE tape on the BP and shoot Pyrodex P, so I'm fanatical about cleaning, but that area gives me trouble. Brass and nylon 20gg brushes and patches over a 50 cal brush don't...

Looking at multiple pictures on the White site and web, almost all are mounted on the left side of the receiver (mine on right)... Reversing parts doesn't look feasible - I'll just go with it as is.

I own a .504 White Bison with a Lyman 57SME peep. Contrary to the user guide, turning the windage knob clockwise moves the site (and POI) to the right. Not a huge deal (figured this out PDQ at first range session), although the windage indicator plate is barely in the hatch marks at the extreme...

Thank you sabotloader! :2cool:That's the post I was thinking of... should have entered "White" in the search box :wall:

Thanks Guys! These of mine are Steve Brooks mold (by Dan at Bullshop), pure lead, flat nose. If that adds anything...

I've been searching the forum and elsewhere online for hours, and realize the complexity and limitations of BC. I seem to recall some poster's range data with similar weight and caliber bullets in the past. Just looking for an educated guess to plug in to ballistic calculators for rough site-in...

I'm reasonably impressed with Sportsman's Warehouse here - far better selection and prices than the evil merger giant...

Thanks; this was one of his videos I was referring to above re: NE bases. I shoot Pyrodex P and have never encountered any leading on my patches. I tried some .54 dry felt wads (Maine Shooting Supply) and didn't see any accuracy or consistency changes... I tried some knurling yesterday with 2...

How did you remedy this?

Also saw this from Doc's site "ALL .504 BULLETS ARE CAST AT .505, SIZED TO .5035 AND LUBED WITH WHITE’S BLUE POWERLUBE.

Thanks. I'm reluctant to go bigger than .5040, because the NE sizing pack .504 was a bear to load - deep land scars on the bullet (I could see breaking a ramrod with it). I should have mic'd them before ramming :wall:Those sizers may have been alloy (I recall reading they had some "bad" lead in...
