When I want to bend Aluminum, I always soften it first. Using an Oxyacetlyene torch, turn the O2 off and "smoke" the Aluminum. Then, either turn the O2 back on or if the sheet is real thin like soda...

As soon as we get past this cold spell so I can cast some .44's, I'll be trying gas checks for the first time. I got to talking with a fellow at the Puyallup gun show who was selling GC lead boolits....

I remember trying this back in 1964 on my new (then) Model 60. After pounding this too-dam-hard lead alloy slug through the barrel, I found out it was 5-grooves, so I couldn't...

My old Seattle Detonics Combatmaster loves wheelweight 230 gr. RN. I must have shot a thousand or two with never a trace of leading.

Along comes a new Pendergrass, Georgia 9-11-01 in two-tone....
