Thought I'd say Hello from NH

[Craig Duncan]

I stumbled across this forum awhile ago.
I lurked and read for a bit and as it seemed to be a friendly place, decided to join.
I'm a bullet caster and enjoy shooting long range rifle with cast bullets.
Primarily with black powder in cartridge rifles and a Gibbs muzzle loader.

I'm fortunate as my home range here in NH goes out to 500 yards.
My wife and I regularly travel to NW Pa and shoot at the Ridgway rifle club where we shoot BPCR Silhouette.
This year I may try my hand at long range with more modern calibers, cast bullets and smokeless powder.
Here's some of the bullets I cast, some 535 grain Postells

Welcome Craig. Those dudes would drain a pot of lead pretty quick.

Welcome !!! Sure you're shooting elephants, LOL.

Hi Craig, Good to see someone else here on this site from NH! Those are real nice bullets!

 

[Rick]

Welcome Craig. Fine looking bullets, looks like almost a full 20 pound pot of alloy. Please feel free to share your methods, results and experiences.

Welcome Craig. Brad has provided us with a great place to share our experiences and knowledge. You've already started sharing yours. Someday I might want a Sharps bad enough to have a need to produce those. I better seriously increase my stock of pure or near pure Pb.

i have heard some good things about that bullet.
those look nice.

Welcome Craig! Good to have you here and they sure are some purty bullets.

Howdy Craig. Glad to see another charcoal burner among us!
Looking forward to your tails of using that smelly powder we love.

Hi Craig,
Just joined here yesterday, and we're also new to BPCR. We're in central NJ and will be in PA plenty. Goin to Mifflin in 2 weeks for the 1k shoot. Beautiful bullets. Just finished 300 535 gr money bullets, almost as pretty as yours.

Howdy Craig, and welcome from Ne. Have that postell mold, and it shoots well in my #1 45-70, however, in full loads it is a killer on both ends.

 

[Craig Duncan]

Doug, you'll have to come to some of our shoots at Ridgway this summer.
There's alot of knowledge to be gained shooting with some of the folks there.

Those are from a Buffalo Arms mould that cut to replicate the original Postell design.
It's a little different than the current Lyman 457132.
