With a laptop, you'll still have to watch the touchpad swiping. If you stay away from the edges of the touchpad, you'll be fine.

I lapped the insides using an automotive polishing compound. Mine had mold marks that you could feel with a fingernail. Now it only leaks a very very tiny amount. Maybe a grain of h335 every 100...

What you need is a dedicated set of wheels/tires for the winter. Snow tires are great in the snow, but not good in the summer. Surely, your tire shop can help you get a set of winter wheels to go...

There were ninety-two 17cent stamps, and one 1cent stamp. I kinda feel sorry for the PO employee working at the counter....and everyone else waiting in line.

I think the idea is to keep the boolits lighter, so the velocity is high enough for the boolit to expand properly. And it saves lead!

Or you could buy something like this: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=278

Forum: Boolit Lube !
The dimmer box is just a way to control the heat so the lube doesn't melt too much. It's just as the name implies, a dimmer switch/rheostat (like the kind you use in your house). How you hook it up...

someone told me to clean with soap water and after it dries, to just dip it in the melt for a minute or two. i did, and my mold started dropping nice boolits immediately...a bit frosty, but nicely...

Kathie, what a waste of lead! can't they use zinc wheel weights and save the lead for us? :)

How much of the $1.15 that the PO charges winds up in the local economy? And I'm doing business with the guy on the forum who sold me some boolit-related item...he's getting the money...paypal is...
Forum: Our Town

lots of good replies. but in super layman's terms: yes you need to crimp, so that the round will chamber fully, and so the boolit (or bullet, whichever you're using) will not get forced into the...

i had a frankford arsenal micro scale...it was accurate, but ate batteries fast...auto off was a pain...finally gave up the ghost after 3 years. so i bought a lee safety scale to check powder...
I would not carry with the lever set to decock. You'll be able to pull the trigger, but the gun won't fire. I would either carry with the safety off (just like it's a da revolver) or safety on, so...

Do yourself a favor and start with the lee classic cast turret press. It can be used as a single stage press if you want. When you want to load up a bunch of pistol ammo, you'll appreciate the...
i've got a m44. i've shot 100rd sessions and never had any issues with lockup on the back side of the cylinder. it has gotten a bit tight on the bbl side (powder residue/lead), but a quick swipe...

i have a ported taurus 44 mag. get a tiny bit of fouling in the ports, but nothing a little #9 and a pipe cleaner can't get out. shoots like a 38 too!
i am the proud owner of a taurus model 44. it's a large frame, 4" ported bbl, blued, with solid rubber grips. it's big and heavy, but shoots like a dream. shot a bunch of jacketed before i started...
