You better have Orville put the snow shoes on and get him out there to see if that bottle isn't buried under the snow first

He's gonna have to pack a lunch if he plans on walking over there. You can only walk up or down on his place!

Re: Hunting bullet
Stephen;
I could be wrong but I think you said last year you were going elk hunting with the 50. If so how did it go?

Re: Hunting bullet
I went out once with my 50 Pete and never saw an elk! I took my oldest son Kaleb with me and even though the hunting was poor, we had the time of our lives!

Re: Hunting bullet
Hi Stephen,
I saw your post here and I thought I would share with you a core mold that I had made for me for swagging my 45 and 50 caliber cores. I know you are quite handy so I figured you might want to try making one of these. I bought the aluminum and sent it out to have it made as I do not have the machinery to do it myself. This is styled after a Lee 6 cavity mold and uses the 6 cavity mold handles. All cavities are adjustable and I usually set the cores to come out about 15 grains heavier than I want. For a 473 grain core I set it to cast .488 to .495 grains. That way when I swag them to the right weight all wrinkles and voids are gone. With this setup I can cast a coffee can full in just a couple of hours. Here are some pictures:
All I need to do now is find the time to make them all into bullets.
