Thread: Lead heads

Used to cast some bullets for a 54 Hawken percussion rifle but just bought 38 wadcutters for reloading. Most finicky pistol I had to load the wadcutters for was a Model 52 S&W with BoMar rib. The cartridges had to be just right to load consistently into the breach from the mag. If you broke your wrist just slightly on firing you got a stovepipe jam on ejection every time. Revolvers were much more forgiving unless the cylinder timing was out.
