Have you tried loading the MH with just your powder and a lubed bullet? You can have space in a blackpowder cartridge if you don’t use wads.
Also, I hope you are cleaning that lube off the bottom of the bullets, a clean, dry base is what you need.
Bullets are clean… Regarding no wads and filler, no I haven’t. Everything I’ve seen so far suggests a wad and grease cookie, so that’s what I go with. Seems to work alright, so I just stick to it. I just plink with it, make a smokey bon once in a while, so no big deal.
A while ago I purchased some 577-450 cases… That were machined, rather than drawn. Made by some NZ armoury. I noticed that the cases are straight-wall (think 45-70), however they are shaped correctly and chamber fine. Wall thickness on this cases is huge, like another chamber! After thinking what could be done, @GUN-DMC suggested trail boss, so TrailBoss it is!
Should be fun.
Baby zombie dinosaurs watch out!
Bit of 357 work… I have a bag of mixed brass, so I thought, meh, let’s load this mothers up. I think I got a little carried away. 2205 measure so well from a thrower, I just couldn’t stop 
I have 100 more to go, because the thrower is set and cases are primed, just a shame not to capitalise on that.
After that… Going to make some 44MAG thumpers
Oh, aren’t they pretty!
Almost a pity to shoot them :). My first attempt at powder coating and pretty happy with how they turned out. Had a few rejects where they stuck together or to the grill. Next weekend will be some 357 mag
Very nice. You should do a how to on that explaining what you used and how. I am sure I would not be the only one interested.
My day or two is coming in the reloading room. The number of empties is growing.
Wax slugs was the flavour of the day today. Have never made them, so here’s the first batch.
Don’t mind the overflow, all of that got wiped off. Stay tuned for a separate writeup.

will have to post up how they go. ive not tried wax. Ive been converting cheap 7 1/2 shot trap loads to 1 oz slugs and roll crimping. pretty decent accuracy
That’s exactly what I do, @TheDude. Although, lately I’ve been using paraffin instead of roll crimp. Works alright, although doesn’t look badass enough.
What’s going on in the bottom pic? 
Sorting a bucket of ‘I’ll get to it later’ stuff?
That was me sorting brass after the first Plinkfest.
