Default More one handed shooting with a .32-20 and an Outdoorsman

I was able to get some more one handed practice in while waiting for the next trip to the doctors. The first was with my old .32-20 M & P with some handloads of a 100 grain SWC and 3.5 grains of Unique. One of the previous owners filed down the front sight to a small dot and its very hard to see even with the Wondersight. I would like to do some more practicing to see exactly what it will group. Still on game though it would do ok.




I then took out my Outdoorsman with the first cast bullets using the Lyman #358429 mould. I tried two different types of lube, RCBS that I dipped the bullets in and Lee Alox shake and bake style.

That ain't bad for one hand and some vintage hand guns. So what lube do ya think is better Lee or RCBS? Hope your next visit has some good news for you. Thanks for posting

I can't tell for sure, I would like to do some more accuracy testing, but I can tell you without a lubrisizer that the Lee Alox is easier to deal with and use.

David,
Do you clean the lube off the bullet bases when using the Lee lube?
