Friends -
I've got a really nice M1884 trapdoor that I really love to shoot. It's got a huge bore - .463 so I've been casting bullets from a custom mould. All's fine. But, I'm getting old and lazy.
I wonder - to save the step of lube-sizing (custom sizing die) would lubing with Liquid Alox and shooting the as-cast bullets work? My load chronographs as 1475 fps.
What do you think? Am I going to lead like crazy? Or, can I make life easier and get more shooting for less hassle?
Any comments would be very welcome.
Thanks!
