Begs the question, do you like cleaning guns that much?No I have not shot it in the 25/20 but have in the 32/20. Will try that as I have some FFF left somewhere.

Not to bad to clean the Remington Rolling Block 32/20. 25/20? It would be a one time experience, most likely.Begs the question, do you like cleaning guns that much?
I think I will too in a Low-Wall for starters.No I have not shot it in the 25/20 but have in the 32/20. Will try that as I have some FFF left somewhere.
Ya know, it just isn't that bad. My wife and I used to shoot cowboy matches and had to clean 4 belt revolvers, two rifles, two double barrel shotguns. In some more complex matches throw in two pocket revolvers and a long range rifle or two. Then the brass, lots of brass. And yet, we survived.Begs the question, do you like cleaning guns that much?
Hot water, patches, Ballistol mixed with water and straight Ballistol is our system.Living in the desert, boiling water, patches and drying. Then oily patches and wiping seems to work OK here.
I would strongly suggest putting a piece of metal (a saw blade will help 1/4 in thick is better) on top of your hotplate to get more even heating.Made a run last night when I got home from work. Ran a NOE 311-179 FN I bought a few weeks back, used the standard HP pins. I’m not a fan of it, took forever to go to dropping good boolits, and the pins are not adjusted right even though they looked like they were. Finally got it to run pretty good, but the HP having the slight depression in it. I’ll adjust and give it another shot.
Ran a 4 cavity Lyman 358-063 with a set of regular handles, not the nutcracker style and it was great ran good and made some nice projectile. Finished up with a 2 cavity 358-093 that I picked up a while back cheap with a set of handles IIRC. It ran really nice. May end up selling that one as I have a 4 cavity as well.
Also moved my casting set up into my old shed a couple weeks ago, worked wonderfully last night in the 30 degree temps. No wind either.
