Thread: Making a Sharps Barrel in my lathe.

Hi Maca49, The cast bullets come out at 460/61" and size to .459", my bore is .457" but my mistake is my lead is high in linotype , the bullets are to hard , so using ones I bought that are soft lead. Will add a lot of pure lead to my mix to get it soft . The ones I loaded with 2208 were to fast and got a lot of leading , the black powder ones are great, I use card on powder, grease card, and card again, seat bullet. Will try it at 100m with 70g and a 405gr bullet just to see if I can hit anything. Cheers, Homebrew.357.

Hi Guys, The last bit of my weapon off mass destruction, shooting at 50m after about 80 shots through the barrel and now it is starting to group, I know it`s only 50m but its a good sigh the barrel is coming right, Cheers, Homebrew.357.
, First 7 shots, (patched) then 7 more. , On the money, first shot in the black, and using my peep sight. Can only get better.

That must be very satisfying
