Roscoe,
Should have clarified that, I cast inside a big open shed, without any leaks!
Yes, I'm shooting a GP Greener, would love a rifled double or a paradox, but a bit out of my reach I'm afraid, doesn't stop me appreciating what they are and the craftsmanship that has gone into them.

Daryl, I ended up lubing 5 with Blue, but gave up after that, slow and a lot more lube than I even expected. I then lubed 5 with an older bottle of Liquid Alox I had, that had gone a bit thick, it pretty much filled the grooves up as well, so I'll give that a run as well. I like you idea of the BW/V mix, might give that a try as well.

Below are a few photos of the loaded rounds, I use RMC brass cases for some of my loads as well, beautiful cases they are, and when I had them made, I sent Dave a chamber cast and he machined them to match, I have 30 of them which will outlast the gun I'm sure.
If I shoot Blackpowder I will use plastic cases and throw them away, I have about 3 44 gallon drums full left over from my clay target shooting days. The plastic ones in the photo are ACTIV cases, I like them because they have the steel head inside the plastic, and seem to take heavier loads a bit better than CF Winchesters etc. Also for the rapid fire sections of our shoot, they eject from the Greener much better, and I'm not about to let those brass cases rattle around on the concrete.

The first photo is the 885 grain Accurate moulds bullet loaded in RMC brass cases.
Middle photo is the same case with a 730 grain CBE Solid bullet.
Bottom photo is the 680 grain CBE Hollow point roll crimped in ACTIC cases.

Regards,
David.
