Got another project started, Gonna try these in my Stock 48 twist .54 Cal TC New Englander. I have been down this road before and my results were LESS than Stellar! I am going at it quite a bit different this go around, I’ve got high hopes for this go around! My goal is to get a stock 1:48 twist to shoot a Paper Patched bullet well. This Lyman Plains is a REALLY good shooting bullet greased or Paper Patched in my Fast Twist barrels, This is 1 of my favorite stock mold bullets in both .50 and .54 Cal. These have shot really well Greased in stock 1:48 twist barrels i have tried them in (what they were designed for) These bullets are from the 40:1 Alloy i got over at BACO. These might be better suited with pure lead? There’s 1 way to find out, Send em!!
Lyman Plains .54 Cal bullet freshly poured, Lubed and sized to .534
Patched up to .540-.541, I test fitted to the New Englander bore and they felt perfect, they load good n snug. I have a .538 and .539 sizer, I might try a Group through my .539
