Nice one man! Thats a real thumper. The largest caliber i have ever fired are a .50 BMG in Barrett and also a 4 bore double barrel (neither were my guns) talk about a shoulder buster! That 4 bore is frickin overkill for sure!
Another sweet vid!!! My 50 Alaskan barrel is being built and my Bowers Vers 50 is in NFA waiting jail...can’t wait to have both in hand. Like you I also considered the 510 Whisper since I have a 300 Whisper but went with the 50 Alaskan for the same reasons as you. Your vids have helped with info on the rounds...can’t say thanks enough.
Full.Lead.Taco eventually...I am not set up to cast so I have been watching your vids about equipment and molds...going to start casting and get into power coating!!!
this has got to be the coolest thing ever! Way to go man what an awesome accomplishment!!! Biggest I've shot was the 25MM Bushmaster chaingun in the Bradley Bfist fighting vehicle. Yours looks more fun :D
I load .50 Beo, had StrongArm 600 "Beast" bullets, RIP. And love the Hornady 500gr XTP FP the most. Casting and loading up to 600, 490 Spire point so badass, and 300/330 all day long Rainier bulk jacketed I got before they went out of business. So satisfying. Freight trains.
Biggest I've shot was a friend's 50 beowulf Heaviest bullet I've shot is a 530 grain paper patched 45 cal bullet out of my repro 1874 sharps. Brutal recoil with heavy bullets but it's a fun gun
yeah man, bummer that yt thinks what we do is somehow bad. It's a great combination of art mixed with practicality and exercising of rights guaranteed under our constitution. Strange times, my friend, strange times...
Nice again I've got something very similar an Encore with a barrel made by bullberries fastest twist they had didn't think to lengthen the throat similar idea. The noe are great for big hollow points just kinda hard to get soft lead to fill the mold good. I'm sure you know this if you go all the way down to 800 fps super quiet
ha ha, that lee 500 is a biggie. I signed up for the NOE group buy for a replica of that one. It should be nice using the NOE version of that lee--few more cavities and such. Encore's are quite fun though.
100dredth like here! 11 bullets a pound and all worth it! I would love to shoot this! Loved this video! Fantastic editing man! 17grains of Trail Boss?! Wow
@@FullLeadTaco Yes, I just got the one you recommended to me: HTC310-247-FN-B03 . I'm sure it will be great. I just got some more LTWs & smelted into ingots. Hope to load sometime next week.
@@FullLeadTaco I looked for one of the Taco molds not too long ago and couldn't find it on NOEs website. Would love to get the 5 cavity one but can't find any links.
Largest bullet I've loaded and shot, for length is 750 copper solid .50 BMG match bullets at 2.63" long, and for weight is M48A1 Spotter Tracers, I think they come out to about ~830 grains or so. Largest I've cast would be a tie between the longer 500 grain .459" gas check in .45-70, and the 500 grain .515" Lee bullets. And silliness aspect ratio, that's the Hornady RNSP 160gr .264" for sure.
That is awesome!! Subs are so much fun. I'm just getting into it with a 308 bolt gun. 9.7g of tb and a 180g bullets Thunderbeast ultra 9 Very accurate and really fun/cheap to shoot. I can see where a heavier projectile is the ticket. What twist did you put in the barrel 1:8?
lol, once you start playing with subs and a suppressor, things get real fun. Shooting suppressed subs with kids is great, they don't get the violent concussion from the muzzle... and they can get a proper cheek weld on the stock without hearing protection. My kids have been raised on 300blk subs... This particular barrel has a 15 twist if I remember right. I've done a few video series with super heavy bullets, but YT has deleted about 35 of my videos... :(
Full.Lead.Taco: Do you lube case mouths for expanding? There's always sticking during that process for me. Then powder sticks there unless I wipe each case. Fun video, as always. Thanks!
Thanks FLT. I've used One Shot too. It works...okay, but then powder sticks. So, if a case needs to be dumped and a new charge thrown, it's time for the q-tips. You always make everything look so easy!
yeah, I don't love one shot, but it seems to work fine for that. Seems to affect powder less than if you use the waxy lubes inside the case mouths. I usually use it on my 45 colt brass with my lee dies...
Hey Taco, was that a seat and crimp die ? That bullet hits hard ! When you buy the Encore, in a specific caliber and then you keep getting new barrels built for them ?
@@FullLeadTaco did I mention that I get old car batteries and use them for the lead, the acid is put into a bucket with scrap copper pipe. In a few weeks it produces my copper sulfide to plate with. Then I use an old battery charger that does 6v 2a. To power my plating.
I shot my bosses 700 H&H nitro express once. (Once). The bullet went through the backstop of the range and through the outside wall and into a dumpster. There was a bid dirt wall but it didn't make it through the dumpster. He held the record for the third largest cape buffalo at the time and he was going back for another hunt. He was afraid to shoot it so me being a big guy I shot it. It hurt so bad. I had a bruise on my shoulder so bad that I had to go to the hospital to make sure I didn't get a blood clot. It was a here hold my beer moment.
Yeah, for the energy they're putting out, those rifles are WAAAY too light. I'd personally be hesitant to even try one given your story. That's insane!
Just out of curiosity have you played with this much lately( i know this vid is 4 years old now)? Trail boss is impossible to find while i have a few cans left its dwindling fast. Have you found a decent substitute?
Can you custom make 358 wssm ammo I can't find any on the market and if I did find one there super expensive let's just say they cost $500 for a box of 50
I seriously need to stop building ars and aks and get something awesome like this. Also the biggest I've ever shot, sadly, is... My old 454 casull that I sold.
I ended up getting some Trailboss and Unique. Where is a good resource for powder charge weights and overall cartridge length? Mainly looking to shoot subs…thanks!!!
Probably, but depends on the type of action. A single shot would be able to as long as the throat is deep enough. A levergun wouldn't work because of the length of the bullets.
@@FullLeadTaco I have run them at just at 1900fps so far. That was just lubed and gaschecked. I want to powder coat some but haven't gotten started in that yet. It is on my list to do soon.

what barrel twist did you go with for yours?

ha ha oh yeah, when my buddy joe shot it.
lol i need to go back and watch that one
Besides the 40 mm and AT4 rockets, the biggest has been 50 bmg from an M107, and M2. This thing is next level, I'd like that in a bolt action platform
50 bmg is always a hoot
Keep up the good fight brother
thanks man
Biggest I've shot was a friend's 50 beowulf

sharps are fun guns indeed
I had the same reaction to 510 whisper!

Non, I use the factory taper crimp die. Tried the roll crimp groove but couldnt get consistent results.

Perfect. ✅ Let’s see it in a semi-auto.
Even if casting your own, I don't know how you can say "600 gr" and "on the cheap" in the same sentence. ;)
