This is kinda what I’m thinking, I’m going to try it and see.

Now, where dan I buy some at ? Everywhere ive looked at doesn’t have them. I’ve emailed dallas@theboombrothers and waiting for a reply.

Not fighting anything, just trying to get it right the 1st time before I load up a bunch, wrong.

Will a bullet lubed like this provide enough lube ?

I have a bag of bullets that I got from Scarlet Darling for APP, will they be greasy enough for real BP ?

I have 12 lbs of Swiss FFFg and need to load up some 45 Colt. I have Hi-Tek 200gr RNFP and 160gr. as well as Lubed 200gr RNFP. What’s your opinion of BP and the coated bullets ?

I have 12 lbs of Swiss fffg, Holy Black. I have searched but not found what I’m looking for, I want grains not cc for 200gr and 160gr bullets for a good place to start.

Your chart is just about right, I got my hands on a 38a and it’s dropping 48gr of fffg.

I hand weighed the 60gr that I posted about, I went into production this morning to escape from all the Thanksgiving cooking going on in the house. I loaded up 25 for the next match with a MEC Jr I picked up recently, the biggest bushing that I had dropped right at 48gr so I added a .07” Nitro Card on top of the powder, a 1/2 Fiber Wad, 1oz of shot with an overshot chip. These should be just fine now I need to load up some 45 Colts.

Got that tip from Buffalo Trace

Red overshot bingo chip.

I have 12 lbs of Swiss fffg, Holy Black. I have searched everywhere and what little info I can find is vague at best. I loaded 4 for testing and they performed great. I guess what I’m asking does this load look good ? A Cheddite 209 primer, AA hull trimmed, 60gr of fffg, a fiber wad, 1 oz of shot, and over shot card and roll crimped. Am I missing anything, do I need to change anything ? BPI was out of Waxed Fiber Wads by the way.

Does anyone have a MEC Bushing Chart for BP ? I have a MEC 600 JR that I will be using to load my BP Shotgun Shells. I have FFFg, fiber wads, nitro cards and over shot cards. Doing a Roll Crimp with 7/8oz shot. I plan to start around 40 gr of Schuetzen fffg, anyone have a starting place on the bushing I will need ? Thanks, Skullbone

I really like these but I’d never get them tied on unless my wife was home

Is there a particular wad that’s better for fffg Black Powder ? I have thousands of Claybuster 1oz, 7/8oz and 3/4oz and they seem to melt easily coating the inside of my barrels which in turn make cleaning a total PITA. I’m wanting to load a 1oz load. I have thousands of Old AA’s, AAHS and Remington STS Video is APP Skullbone Willie IMG_7271.mov

I have 2, a 38 and 45. In my opinion they are fantastic, never had any problems. I’ve laid a short stroked 73 on top of mine and there’s almost no difference in the stroke length, Taylor might be a 1/8” longer.
