Now that IS impressive! The short barrel Werder´s never going to be that accurate. I blow through the barrel after every round (but don´t think it makes much difference ... maybe the beer fumes clean it a bit). The Werder carbine´s supposed to get 2.5 grammes (38.58 grains) of BP but I can´t get that in together with the grease. The max. load was NOT accurate at 50 metres, so I started again with 25 grains. Am now at 34 grains and trying it out at 300 metres (100 metres was OK). I found that it´s a lot better with bullets that I weigh and only keep the ones within limits. And it does seem to need a cork washer in between the base of the bullet and the grease.

Well, the deed is done, whether the price noted previously was good or no...Now to see if I can duplicate or better the 30 year old factory Winchester ammo in accuracy.
Cast another batch of bullets (~200) using the Ideal mould, but the weight was almost exactly two grains less than the first batch. More consistant, though: well over 100(probably 140 or so) were within one tenth of a grain of 113.0gr. None under 112gr. Not something that is for the impatient! Probably 2 1/2 hours to do that many, and that doesn't include weighing or lubing!
Wonder why the weight difference? Digital scale. The pot was charged using the same materials. Pot and outdoor temps very close both sessions. The mould had been cleaned in between lots, though.
