I got the dies in yesterday and bought a special bullet mold. I so got super lucky and snagged some 24ga brass shotgun shells so I could make/form the brass for this rifle. I had success last night. This hoss I shooting a 550gr projectile that with a hollow base.
I got to shoulder and fire this baby for the first time in who knows how long! I am pretty excited to shoot it more and make more brass. (1st shot was done with the rifle in a lead sled and me behind a tree pulling the rope I had to make up load data I refuse to use black powder so a safe charge of trailboss was guessed and used)
I ended up playing around with the load and paperpatching the projectile I shot it 6 or 7 times and it is awesome!
