Speaking of reduced loads...
did a few videos detailing my procedures in leverguns for members wanting to get started on saving money. With a one lb can you can get as many as 7000 shots of a one grain charge with a 65 grain pellet. Of course you'd need over 65 lbs of lead to shoot up all that powder
heres how I load them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6XBP2qGVwA and the test rounds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3nkM6X1FcI comments and questions are appreciated. |

I like your 'pellets'...Reminds me of 'soup can' bullets...
I do basically the same thing, but I don't bother to cast and swage...I just buy the appropriate size buckshot in bulk... For .357mag, .38spcl, and .35 Remington, I buy .360" (#000 Buck), and for the .30's in my life, I buy .310" (#1-1/2 Buck)... I also use Red Dot instead of 2400... I don't resize cases, I decap, prime, charge with a dipper, and seat the ball with a brass hammer sprue up...I then slather on a little LLA and let it set... |
