45 ROA Big Lube (TM)

Another one of my favorite bullets. This 210g conical is made to substitute the round ball in a Ruger Old Army(TM) percussion pistol. Very accurate and capable of shooting a lot farther that you think!!
I'm a true Black Powder guy myself but I have crushed a 30 grain BP substitute pellet under one of these and WOW! No one on the entire range will doubt you hit that piece of steel.
These are sized to.454 for a perfect press fit in your ROA(TM) cylinder. (There is a ROA 2 that is coming soon with some small improvements but for pistol work this puppy is a Hoss.) Huge lube groove eliminates crossfire so you just powder and press with no wads or messy manual lubing. In pure lead it would make a good hunting bullet.

SASS pard, Dirty Dan Dawkins and I are working on seeing if we can make a Plainsman/Renegade Bullet for his 45-70 Remington out of this. It drops at about .457depending on alloy which should in most all cases be pure lead. We will keep you posted. Sold in 50 count trays.
Update: Worked very well as a Plainsman(single shot) type round. LITE recoil with good accuracy. I am also loading this bullet in 45 ACP. As I shoot more with it I will update but so far it makes a neat little mil-spec looking round. As cast comes lubed through a die with minimal sizing depending upon alloy and size dropped from mould.

45cal-EPP-150-Ultra Gamer

This bullet was developed by the late SASS pard, El Paso Pete, whom I am told was an engineer by trade. He developed this bullet almost as a joke... like an aeronautic engineer designs a flying brick. Thing is.... he succeeded! The goal was to build the benefits of a Big Lube(TM) bullet into a light bullet that emulates a standard lead round ball for the Ruger Old Army(TM). It does that very well sized at .454 and then does so much more. Because of it's light weight and good accuracy you can pump up the velocity without too much recoil. The result is it shoots like a laser. It can be sized to .452 or .454 and loaded into 45 Long Colt and really shines loaded into Cowboy Special Brass. With a full case of FFF Black powder it can exceed 1000fps in 45 Long Colt.
It will work for 45 Schofield pistols. It even had a flat spot added to the tip because Cowboys Shooters liked it so much they wanted to modify their lever rifles to shoot it's short AOL.
I don't believe all of it's uses have been discovered yet. Dick Dasterly..who created Big Lube(TM), even uses it in his Muzzleloader. I can only find 2 things that are not perfect about this bullet. It IS a brick, so like a round ball, it is going to fall off hard at 100 yards and it won't fit under extended rammers on my Rugers ROA's(TM) that I use to allow compression on light powder loads. Not a problem if you load your cylinder in a press. Other than those 2 small concessions it is one of the best 45 caliber Black powder bullets ever. A fitting tribute to leave behind for an engineer. Sold in 50 count trays.

38 cal-158g Snakebite Grease Wagon

This is one of the original Big Lube(TM) bullets to be developed by Doug Gilmore aka SASS member"Snakebite". It has a long oglive to allow it to have an overall length that is appropriate for rifles and pistols that were designed to shoot .357 magnum. Its crimp groove will give you the right AOL for .357 which comes in real handy for a lot of Marlin rifles that like the .357 AOL.

Bullet designs like this have become known as "Marlin Bullets" because of this tendency to dislike 38 special AOL in 38/357 Marlin rifles. For 38 special AOL you can crimp on the oglive with 38 special brass and then use the minimum Black Powder loading without the need for a wad or filler.

Increase the powder load for the .357 crimping and it is nice and lively in a light pistol. Or you can crimp on the oglive with .357 brass to obtain a 38 special AOL. Huge lube grooves hauls the grease so all the wonderful benefits of Big Lube(TM) bullets are maintained.

Heavy enough to handle any knockdown and very accurate so you can hit them. Nice thing about a heavier bullet is you can reduce velocity and still maintain accuracy and hitting power. I've seen ultra light 38 bullets change point of aim by 6-8" This bullet shoots right where I aim it in my Ruger New Model Vaqueros(TM). Sold in 50 count trays.
