Hello Everyone, spring is slowly coming to the east and I have been casting bullets outside  in the garage on the days above 30.
I am kind of new to the forum so I thought I would share my shooting background with you so you can better understand were I am at in casting bullets.
I never owned or really shot a gun until my Father gave me a Smith and a Burnside civil war rifles. He never shot them  they just hung on the wall in the basement. As a kid I would unscrew them from there mounts and run around the basement with my friends watching F troop. I am 55 now. I read up on them and found out that they could be loaded and shot and that people were shooting them. While I was fooling around with them I picked up a Lyman .50 Great plains rifle and really had a lot of fun with it at 50yds. It shot much better than what I was getting out of the carbines. One day while looking through some gun magizine I saw a ad from the Ballard Rifle and Cartridge Co. It showed a High wall color case hardened and with fancy wood and this gun could shoot out 200yds or more and I was hooked. I ordered a 38/55 with pistol grip dst #3win Douglas barrel and fancy wood.This was in 2005. After that I had a rifle custom made from a original Rolling block in .22LR This was made by Curt Hardcastle, This is a beautiful rifle that you just have to see. My latest rifle a Low wall Schutezen in 32/20-.308 Also by Curt, is a work of art. I am still learning how to shoot it and what it likes. I shoot my 38/55 in BPCR Silhouette and am a AAA shooter. I am told that I am unique in that I started out shooting black powder. Never owned a bolt gun. Never bought a box of bullets other than .22's. So I have casted a lot of bullets. All my moulds are Paul Jones, Who I can't reach any more but I am tring. When I cast I want the bullet to drop out when the mould is opened and it can and it will if you know how. I do not want to bang on my mould. I ran out of space here. 1 of 2




reach any more but still trying.

There is a really nice article about Paul in the newest issue of Black Powder News. In fact he is on the cover. We will miss Paul he made a fantastic mould.
