Hi
I am after some information on a few things and was wondering if anybody could help me?.
First off,I want to know when you “Oven Temper” cast bullets,does the oven have to be 475 F,for I have a little toaster oven that goes to about 220 Celsius (428F),Can I just put them in longer,or does it not work that way? :?
The other thing is,with Paper-patching what is the best bullet diameter to go for?
I measured my bore, twice and got the bore diameter as .4515,maybe go to .452? And the lands were .458. (Ruger #3 45/70)
What bullet diameter should i go for?
When I get the mould made,should I say that I want it to cast with pure lead or other?,I will be using mainly smokeless powder,but every now & then I would like to try black powder. Is it best to get a bullet mould that will cast a bullet,that will ride the bore with most of its length?.
Any help would be appreciated
