Lepage love

[nick_1]

50 yards .44 cal Le page. six inch steel. the first hit on the fresh painted steel was a 40yrd warm up shot with no camera.

Man, that's some shooting. Is that the Pedersoli or the Armi Sport?

What load were you using? Could we see the gun?

Its the Pedersoli maple with the browned barrel. crazy expensive I soot a .433 hand cast RB with .10 patch and 19g of T7 it seems reasonably hot for such a light powder charge? and really rings the steel at 50yrds It seems to hit harder than my 8" 1858 with 25g and '454 rb???

I’m not familiar with these pistols. How did you come up with .433? Did you have a mold custom made for it?

 

[nick_1]

The pedersoli mold was very expensive. about $200.00 with the handles. the manuel called for .435 and they sell their own mold. Or you can buy pre cast for $80.00 per hundred. The closest I could find was a .433 mold from Lee @ $39.00 handles included. It seems plenty tight.
