Shiloh Rifle Forums

Hello all,

I have a C Sharps coming this fall. I have a 30" 1 1/2 barrel being put on. I was very interested in having a "traditional" rifle so went with a 1 in 34" right-hand twist. The barrel is going to be made of 4140 Annealed. .500 Bore | .510 Grooves in traditional 6 grove configuraion.

I understand that:
.50/100/473 = Paper Patch Bullet
.50/100/425 = Grease Groove

Now, I am looking for some ready-made bullets to start with, and then need to get some bullet molds.

I was looking for recommendations and thoughts. I understand I am looking for .512 bullet and .512 sizing/lube dies.




Regards,
Jacob

Lyman 515141 mold for the greaser in you and KAL tool mold 50 TGBS adj paper paper patch at .494". Don't let them freebore your chamber any...bobw

Ok, I looked it up ... can you explain why no Freebore?

I also notice the Lyman 515141 is a .515 Diameter mold. Would I size that down to .512 or is there someone making a .515 lube sizer die?

That's the mold # and a long time a go the .515" dia. Now days I believe that they cut the to throw a .512" bullet...you could allways call Lyman and ask. Bobw

I have the recent Lyman mould and it won't chamber without being sized down to .511". I switched over to the RCBS 50-515 for my 36 twist and it is very accurate and chambers great. Hope this helps.
