Today, the weather, my schedule and interests converged. I dug out a Lyman 38 wadcutter mold to cast a few. Bought the mold off EBAY some time ago, oiled it and put it away. None of my handles fit!...

I am home. My son got a small bear Saturday. I was amazed at just how beautiful the area was. I also met some of the finest people on earth.

Yes. Flying into Rhinelander, but hunting in Westboro. The guide seems like a nice guy. Looking forward to seeing this part of the country.

Tomorrow, my son and I fly into Wisconsin for a bear hunt. Any of you enablers live there? The guide seems nice and I expect it to be beautiful country.

Had you offered me a chance at the steel with your rifle, I would have gladly tried it.

Is the SP101 cylinder longer than the one for the Single Seven? The Seven is picky about bullets due to the cylinder length.

You have fallen in with a bunch of enablers. I've bought four molds in the past two months.

Bill,
Thanks. That's in line with what my smith quoted me. I dropped the parts off Friday. A side effect is that he now wants to go varmint hunting when I take my trip. Gonna be a neat project.

I have a bolt ordered from PTG with the correct size bolt face. My intention was to sell the bolt and barrel. The stock is the cheapest ADL plastic one Remington makes. I had bottom metal from a BDL...

The rifle I plan to use has a story. Christmas of 2016 or 2017, I was given a gift card to WalMart. Coupled with a rebate and friends discount, I wound up with about $225 in a model 700 package rifle...

I already have a Shilen barrel blank, so McGowen is probably out. I have to disagree with ulav8r. For utmost accuracy you do have to have everything custom fitted. My best group to date with my 260...

A custom action will be $800 or more. I have a 223 Remington that I got super cheap. I have purchased a Shilen barrel blank with the intention of building a 22BR for critters and targets. It will...

What should I expect to pay to have a Remington 700 action trued and to have a barrel blank chambered, fitted and crowned?

I got an email from them about the sale yesterday and ordered a mold today.
Forum: Casting Equipment
I set the mold on the top of the pot to preheat it. Usually takes a couple of fills to get it casting good bullets. No big deal for me.
I already have my eye on a possible plain base mold for my...

Not long ago, I asked for information on NOE molds. Didn't get a single negative comment. Took four days to get a mold and matching top punch. The mold arrived looking beautiful with clear...

My mold arrived today. Looks very well made. I should have a chance to cast with it this weekend.
Forum: Casting Equipment
Haven't had a handle issue yet, but I like that solution. I ordered a wadcutter mold for the 32s. Should be perfect for the 32 long Smith. Probably see some use in the 32 H&R.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I haven't seen any printed data for the heavier bullets. I like the way that one looks!
Forum: Casting Equipment
Mold is ordered. A four cavity was only $6 more than a three cavity. No brainer on that one. Also ordered a top punch. Now I'm not sure if large Lyman handles will fit.
Forum: Casting Equipment
Thanks! Looks like I will become a customer. I understand full well about paying for quality. My Snap On tools are still going strong after 30 years of use.

I have several revolvers in 32 H&R and just recently bought the Seven. I also have a S&W model 31 in 32 long with a four inch barrel. I appreciate the advice here.
