hey thanks for the great info! I will pass it along to my buddy. I'm game to make some magtech cases for my buddy as wellSorry to say, but no, they won't as the brass is too thick at the mouth.
I have been making my own Snider brass for years using the Magtech 24 brass.
Although, it's a lot less hassle to buy formed Snider brass direct from X Ring.
I use lee dies to form the brass, fire once with .480 bullet.
Once the brass is fire formed, you can then switch over to the Martyn's .600 bullet.
The accuracy of Martyn's bullet is beyond expectations.
If your on facebookie, drop on over as there is a sheet ton of information on the page and I'm sure you will recognize some of the names from GunNutz.
I have not done any powder coat "yet" But normally i only reload for my antique pistols , and some 50cal for muzzleloader.
But at the same time... I am starting to Collect Bullet molds thinking one year ill do a lot more LOL
I have been known to buy a mould and then buy a rifle that shoots it.
I agree I figure there are alot worse addictions I could have. If I want to shoot alot of my oldies I need to cast and honestly I kinda find casting etc really zenLike so many others, I cast for muzzle loaders, BPCR's handguns and modern rifles. I've been accused by Slug, a member here, of introducing powder coating to local shooters. but be that as it may, I powder coat EVERYTHING I shoot. Because I shoot my BPCR"S with both smokeless and Holy Black, I lube all these calibers as well, with Paul Mathews' "Premium" Bullet Lube.
BPCR Calibers I shoot include 38-55 (2) 40-60 Maynard, 40-65 Win, 40-70 Sharps Straight, 45-70 (6) 45-90, 50-70, .577 Snider. With respect to Snider Shooter, I'm proud of my addiction, in fact I brag about it! LOL!!
I haven't had to look for pure lead for years so I'm not the one to ask on that. I've still got 1100 lbs of pure lead, some of it still in cubic foot blocks LOL.I am trying to get started. Where do you guys found the lead ? Also powder coating looks like the ticket any source for the powder you guy recommand ?
