Re: CS Richmond Bullet Mold
Not just good... good enough. Managed about a 4in group with my first try. 65gr of Goex FFg. The paper type didn’t seem to matter too much but I did find pieces of copier paper about 55 yards down range so I’ll probably stick with coffee filters or try brown packing paper. Pictured below is a 5 shot group plus one off hand. Was dead center off hand, everything else was hanging out left. All high but it was a 50yd target so for now I’ll call it acceptable until I tighten things up as I do my load work ups. Love the Eras Gone a Richmond bullet though. My last shot of the day went low and obliterated a concrete block.

Re: CS Richmond Bullet Mold
Now is that 38 to 42 by volume or weight? I was going by weight with my 65. Not sure how folks typically measure for these.

Re: CS Richmond Bullet Mold
I’ll definitely give it a try. Do you use any kindof filler or wads?

I use Charlie’s tubes I put a newspaper wad to hold powder against the back. Airspace is not a problem.

Re: CS Richmond Bullet Mold
Ended up with 55 grains of FFg as my best load. Was hitting 2.25 inch groups with it. Still like using the coffee filters best for my cartridges. Nitrided a bunch of them using some stump remover and water. Attached is he best group and a decent shot of my neighbor’s boy getting a shot.
