Pretty cool Leadchucker! Makin your own caps. I like shooting percussion 54 cal Sharps, a Colt 58cal musket and an old Tower 1853 Enfield. Might have to get into making caps too if they get any...

With the high prices of propellants I predict that there will be some new players getting into the smokeless powder manufacturing. These current powder producers have opened up the playing field. ...

I had the same problem using 54R Norma but chucked the sizing die up in my tool room lathe. It fit in a 5C collet. I used a carbide cutter to remove .012" off the face of the die. Worked great! ...
