Might have gotten this figured out

[NickelGL]

finally seeing some success with my casting. This is a 3 shot 50 yard group. Tc new englander 70grains of goex 2f and the accurate .50 I bullet mold. Cast pure then sized to .5015”. This is second trip to the range to confirm this group.

Nice shooting. The New Englander was a sleeper in T/C ‘s line, but it was one of the best shooters. A hunting buddy of mine has the same gun, same results. He is looking for a 12ga smoothbore barrel for it, but they are hard to find, and fund!

I grew up chasing beagles. To try to slow my brother and me down dad started having us use the shot gun barrels. Funny thing is didnt slow us down what so ever

Bullets look good. What was the weight of your bullets?

425 lubed. That’s pure lead.

I've got a bunch of different styles cast up for my 500S&W, gotta try them in my Wolverine now.

I just got this same mold in .45 cal and cast some bullets. Haven't shot any of mine yet but Ed M sent me some and they shot great.

Did you swab between shots?

Did you swab between shots?

yep. But just 2 patches. I was having issues with crud ring.

I am looking for another mold myself. Something less 420 grains more like 275-300z

I like 2 patches of rubbing alcohol followed by a bore mop to dry it out, or 2 dry patches

All the time. I get more consistency by doing so.
