Which No. 11's? They're not the same size. Remingtons are significantly shorter than CCI's.
Ah, interesting. I'm using CCI's, of course. That's what's available down the street.
I hadn't considered M75rlg's idea about securing the caps. That's a good technique to know about.
I sure like the idea of simple PRB's. And a mold would be cool to have. Tho I'd thought it would be more efficient to get a good all-around .45acp mold and only cast one bullet to satisfy autopistol, hawken, and any future .45colt revolver that might come my way...
Ammo availability around here is limited, tho of course I can order online.
They might have some new Hornady RB's down the street, however. I saw some new boxes the other day. Those might actually work with my pillow ticking, vs. the CVA balls I have which strike me as expensive and are somehow too fat for my 0.012 ticking.
You should keep an eye out for a mold and make your own. I got one at the Northwest Mountainman Trade Show for $20.
hahaha, Shipchief, I'm so envious. I'm halfway between New York City and Boston.
Fyrfytr, the sabots are expensive for a bag of plastic pieces, but when piggy-backing on pistol bullets I already stock, it's kind of a wash compared by buying/stocking extra stuff. I DO like the idea of not being dependent on some manufacturing technique that I can't duplicate at home. That's the biggest appeal of PRB's to me. Sustainability. And yeah, less litter too.
