First off, the m79/203 aren't illegal, simply require a tax stamp. The best answer here is a can cannon, Ive strengthened my 223 blanks considerably and shot some interesting registered destructive...

Yes, that Kraut space majik gun eats that weight, its not even that heavy. Ive gone over 200gr with mine. It's delayed blowback, that's all.
Forum: Leverguns
I think the big boy X has lot going for it. There's no real "all weather" finished leverguns, and laminate wood is too heavy for a stock material, so until McMillan comes out with stocks for these,...

You had a disappointing childhood if you didn't have the occasional red ryder BB gun war with your friends back in the day! That said, I better not see my boy pointing one of those at somebody! ;-)
This just resurfaced for me, and I wanted to add some new options now available. First, the idea of suppressing a 358win is terrific. Second, most sealed cans can be cleaned with the Dip, google it,...

Recall you can always mount any press to a 2x8 or 10 and set it on a table. You can make it as long as the table and use a small clamp on the other end to keep it in place or keep it under 3' and...

Several thousand through my 300 blackout, also, lots of 9mm through them also, no build up. People keep forgetting these are jacketed bullets.
now Im not one for overcleaning, but it doesn't...

Ive no problem observing the rules of a forum, as its someone else's space, but im not keen on people supporting blanket suppression of speech and ideas on the excuse of civility. They are words,...
I absolutely love suppressed loads of any caliber in the 6-850fps range. Ridiculous how cool they are, and the reactions they evoke from anyone around is pretty fun too.
Forum: Our Town
I mean, the obvious short answer is yes, you can shoot 9mm in a 40cal. Yall've never done that for fun? Seems as though velocity's a bit off published data hahaha!
Always remember, you can always use load data for slightly heavier, similarly constructed boolits.

Well, a lot of ammo is out there, and selling, but might not be at you usual spot or at your usual price. I know many people who had stockpiles thinning them out a bit and many shops are selling ammo...

Well right now Faxon has 10.5" 350 Legend AR barrels for $130, I guess I'm getting in on the 350 Legend game with you boys! This is gonna be a really cool SBR project with my MP 200gr HP pills. Any...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Many thousands of powdercoated cast boolits through all my glocks, not a single issue whatsoever. It's just another example of how the boolit coating revolution has changed our world for the better.
Forum: Our Town
I love it all.....except cleaning! Defense guns stay clean, but the rest I shoot to malfunction. Glocks get cleaned every 4kish, AR’s every 2k, .22 every 2-4K, 1911’s 2k, bolt guns probably never. I...

Buy when you see under the current prices! I had bought a whole lot back in the day at $14/1000, but last week I paid 140 for 3000, highest I’ve done yet, but below market value! I know we don’t like...
Forum: Our Town
Well, sounds like we like the same kind of rifles. One is kinda made already, the Barrett Fieldcraft, but not offered in midbore calibers. So a custom I’d like to build would be a 5digit stainless...

I also use sawdust while melting when I start seeing liquid. Turns to carbon and provides a buffer from atmospheric O2.
Forum: Casting Equipment
Also, fluxing doesn't do much for the dirt, it puts the alloy back into suspension. The dirt isn't IN the lead, but around it. Its much too light to be mixed in the lead, and would just float,...
Forum: Casting Equipment
Sounds like that steel plate is robbing you of your heat! Use what you've got to, but a turkey fryer or crawfish burner style sure works faster for your cast iron. That dust is coming off the bottom,...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Now that 358430 is a design I'd really like to try out! What kind of load data do you like for it? Ive done some 200gr molds in 38, but have been all 200gr rifle boolits loaded a little long OAL,...

Little side note on these presses.....I don't think Lee can make them fast enough! All the reloading tirekickers are buying them all up! Probably buying a lot if these....and 9mm or 556 die sets...
My 77/357 was tuned just to shoot wonderful heavy loaded 38specials with a MP version of the 200gr Lee/rcbs 358 rifle bullet loaded long. Cut to 16”, Floated, Match trigger, a lil load development...

Ive had no issue doing 458 win mag and 338 win mag when developing loads at the range.....not sure if those are big enough for you.....
