WC = wad cutter

Thanks Janoosh, I often see acronyms and words used for methods here I don't fully understand. I think a stupid questions thread is good place to ask these.

What's an NCO?

That needs framing and hung on a wall.

Wishing a Merry Christmas to all.

I recently honed out .003" from a lee with a split dowel to hold the emery, some WD40 and a drill.

The finish was better than factory and it's easy to do, just take it slowly.

Thanks for the warning.

I've always used a bbq lighter or tossed in a match mainly so I don't get my hand to involved in the process. I've never thought about what might happen with a lighter.

Nice gun, is that a smith and western?

It may be the crank position sensor.

If anyone uses Hodgdon Universal and sees it on the shelf they might want to grab it.

I went shopping here for ADI AP70N which is the same stuff repackaged by Hodgdon as Universal and couldn't...

Check out radardetectorforum.org they know their stuff and are a nice helpful bunch, a very large majority are pro gun guys too.

Indeed, it's like they're made for the job.

The kitchen is such a handy place to find tools :)

I've shot plenty of hornady 60 grain flat points in the 92 carbine they seem to work well, not sure on availability looks like brownells is back order.

I've just bought an old ideal loading tool...

Oh wow it's a big lead brownie!

I think to fix my RCBS die problem I need to braze some metal on the expander plug then have it turned down to .360"

My 25 or so years old rcbs dies oversize the cases too much. I have got by with adjusting them out to partial size.

Have you smelted your ww's into nice clean ingots yet?

Try looking on the internet for a bee man. I found my beeswax on ebay, yes it is hard like a candle wax.

Here's one my tool maker friend and myself made about 30 years ago, he did the machining and I assembled the thing scribing vent lines in the alloy, making and tapping for the file handles and hinge...

This.

From what I have researched babybel wax was at some point in history carnuba but no longer is.

With that said, I don't know what it is and I may be wrong.

You could try lube-size-lube-lube

I have one gun that prefers a good coating of that snot.

That looks identical to a Winchester 370

I was thinking void in the casts but then you did say you weighed them.

Just throwing it out there.

The short answer is no.

The long answer is no, no, no, no......

I've seen those in your pic be the last to melt too as the pot temp' is recovering.

Quite a lot of the stick on weights I get seem to be a similar alloy to clip on and melt first.
