Thanks to all who replied. I do have 45 years of reloading experience and have cast 15-1 with my buddy's original Paradox mold. That mold produces a perfect concentric projectile from the 1880's. He has the super magnum H&H Paradox that I can put 2 rounds in one hole at 50 yards dead center. I am looking for a great H&H Paradox but will make this Colindian work first. I love this rifle and will not stop till it is up to it's maximum potential. I agree that a quality maker did not make an inferior product. I have a good friend that will make different size sizing dies for the original projectiles in .732, .733, and .734. I am going out to put up 600 yard silhouette targets at 25 yards to begin with and then see what they are doing. My buddy, Mike Graf (Graf's Reloading) is the importer for Cheddite and he has the empty cases for me to work with. I have another friend that made some round ball loads for my 16 bore open choke McCririck and I may be able to talk him into making some 12 bore round ball loads to try. I lost Ross' phone number, after collaborating with him on a couple of magazine articles he helped me with, and would love to talk to him. To 470 Evans, rglenz, CommandCar, Grenadier, Daryl S, Lancaster, HistoricBore, rigbymauser thank you for the information, encouragement. Now the fun part begins. This Colindian is a self-opener extractor. It fits my dimensions to a T and beautiful wood. I am a fortunate individual. My future deer rifle. Dutch |
