Lycky me i got mine just in time for that Corona $h!7. All dressed up and nowhere to go (shooting).
Build me a monster muffler from 20" of ø2" carbon fiber tube and lots of delrin. 5 K-baffles, a large airstripper and some PC cabinet silensing wool. That shut her up fast!
Got 4 different molds in 50 cal and have cast up plenty of each.
@ 380 grains is a Lee 515-450 shortend one lube groove and the original:
A @420 grains custom Lee made for the Swedish/Norwegian 12,7x44R m1867 Rolling block:
And last the Lee 515-500:
So:
@380 grains
@420 granis
@450 granis
@510 grains.
All sized to .510". I have had a Lyman 450 sizer for the past 30+ years and have just recently noticed that the famous H&H dies only comes in .509 and .512. So i had to lube/grease with the .512 die in the Lyman and then go down to .510" with a Lee push through sizer. It's ok... as i can watch telly and chug a tinny or two while.
Got my rifle last thursday at work and we filled it up fast for some "scientific" testing. No sights no nothing, we're men arent we? I brought the 380 grainers all lubed and sized.
Well a 4x4 (pine) and a 60lb bale of hardpacked rags for backstop and now i somehow owe my boss a new Makita angle grinder
Do watch your backstop with these lead slingers.
That thing is like a skidding semi in winter, it just ploughs through, on and on and on.
With the new muffler on we can shoot it at work without scaring the poop out of the neighbours, Tomorrow will be fun.
I'll update this thread with pics of my muffler and mods to the Texan.
Stay tuned.
