Anyone here making PPB for this caliber? I have need of a small number to see if this will solve my accuracy problem with 1886 Win. Thanks
Tony

I have a couple of 40 cal moulds... but no paper-patched moulds. PM me for more details if you like. Also would need to know more details like weight, groove diameter, etc. I picked up a .405 Win last year so have a few moulds for it which might work to see what that rifle likes.
Regards,
Jeff P

I have a Maruko Japan 45/90 1886 Replica , will not shoot lead bullets acurately ! I loaded 300 Grn. JHP Hornady LR Fed Primers 3031 powder and had figure 8 groups . I know that 45/90 is not your caliber but try a jacketed bullet and see what the results are .


Don't take the chip !
