Title: Got my new conical mold
Post by: MountainDevil54 on October 02, 2012, 06:02:57 PM: 343 grains of pure beauty! 50cal in .501" diameter. Originally made as a Paper patched bullet, but I ordered it as a slip fit size and lube with Alox.

I will be testing tomorrow with some pyrodex RS and see how that does with and without wad.
