jhalcott; just describing what works for me. I don't use it with black, but it does seem to solve some of the kinks when one needs a small game potting load for fool hens or bunnies. For targets, I still think alox in a dedicated rifle, or at least a well cleaned barrel is great. BTW, I use only enough Dacron to keep the powder back, and I learned it from the NRA cast bullet book.
Another thing I don't do is lubricize cast bullets for rifles. Rub on some alox lube with your fingers, or use Lee liquid alox applied by hand. It's ok to shoot them big, (as much as 2 thou over groove) unless they won't chamber.
Congrats Jack. It's a great feeling when things start to go right, and YOU made the bullets!
