38-55 vs 380 yard Diamond
Last year I had Accurate Molds make me a mold for my 38-55. It worked beautifully in my rifle but Wind's took some tweaks to get it there. After watching this video I'd say he's got it pretty dialed in now.

This is what it looks like without the zoom lens.
Here's the target
These are the bullets from the molds Accurate Molds made me.
Left is the 382-250B and Right is the 461-405M
More on the 45-70 bullet later. It shows real promise in my 1895 Cowboy but once again, Wind's is going to take some work to get it there.

Re: 38-55 vs 380 yard Diamond
I sure enjoyed the video, that's some good shooting there! I can testify to the quality of Accurate molds. They are worth every penny of their cost. My 1880 vintage Winchester Model 73 in .44-40 really shines with the bullets cast from my Accurate mold ordered specifically for it, and as a bonus the bullets are showing promise in my Marlin Cowboy in .44 Magnum too.
P.S.- Good to see you posting again, Whit. You & Wind have been scarce around here.

Looks like somebody is practicing for the Quigley.
I had Accurate cut me a paper patch mould for the 44-77, that really turned that rifle into a tac driver.

I'm pretty sure Wind was using his Montana Vintage Arms tang sight.
That Accurate 382-250B is really proving to be a good one. Last October I had one my best ever Silhouette matches using it even though I had to guess at the hold for the Rams.
