 ???Thanks for asking! I’m sort of going back and forth on what the next step ought to be… so one course of action was to get another 50-95 barrel in hopes that I could just screw it on to the Prasidio and be done with oversized bores, etc…so I ordered one on approval from Cimarron….well, it slugs up around .514 and the twist rate is around 36, so I sent it back.
I got my inertia bullet puller in, but it wouldn’t take a 50-95…..so I got some dowels and sandpaper and spent a good part of yesterday reaming it out… now it fits but that little three piece collet is stretched to the limit…..maybe I’ll whack it tomorrow….I need to find out what metal Montana likes for my bullet mold…
Looking around for a good site for my future machine shop….or maybe just a Marlin 45-70…..

Just use the shell holder out of your press, much simpler that idiotic three piece gizmo.

Got some boolits in the mail today, from Montana Bullet works. These are the 56-50 Spencer 350 gr RNFP .514 diameter. Thought I'd give them a try this spring. I'm thinking I will anneal the brass first before loading them up.

I forget if I posted this before, but thought I'd share this bullet mold option.  Get an inexpensive Lee 515450 mold and machine off the top band.  Its an easy job for a home machinist or local shop.  This reduces the bullet to 350gr. It shoots very well in my M1876 and other 50 cal rifles.

Hey ndnchf, that was mine; Hell er high water's; & Dakota Widowmakers bullets from back in 2005 Spencer timeframe.  I filed my molds down by hand but they used mills.  One of them even made a little business of that idea for awhile.  That was back with the older style of Lee molds too, I don't know how easy it is with the newer model molds.  I even made different nose diameters on my molds to test out.  In the end I still felt the original mold had the best diameter for magazine tube use.

Good to know that same bullet is working for other rifles like the 1876 -- 50's

I machined this mold about 5 years ago. I think it is a new style. Its a good bullet and works well in my .56-50,  .50-45 and  50-70 too.

ndnchf,

I wanted to put a PS in my posting but had to leave for awhile.

I like your videos of your gun projects and shooting.  I think the last one was 2 or more month ago.

Thanks. Glad you enjoy them.  It has been a while since I posted one. But I'll get back to the range when it warms up and do more.

That did work, but I still needed to bore out inside of the hammer, 50/95 jus doesn't fit in it.

Yes, I did indeed have to open the hammer out a bit to accept 50 caliber cases as well. Just failed to mention it.
