Well everyone said parenthood would be a challenge but mix in cystic fibrosis and we'll have a challenge on another level... We hit the generic s-storm lottery and are both carriers, our baby boy got...

It's a boy!!!

The positive test from a few months ago wasn't an actual pregnancy test, it was an ovulation test, at the time neither of us even knew there was such a thing. She grabbed that box from the store...

Well, this time, beyond a shadow of a doubt, she bought the right tests and we got our first true positive test tonight! Two lines on a pregnancy test, not a damn ovulation test, I think my swimmers...

So I'm building a 5.56/.223 upper for 3 gun competitions and I'm a bit overwhelmed with options, gas systems, twist rates, etc. What I know at this point is that this upper will see A LOT of range...

I'm considering the NOE HTC309-153-SP mold for .300 BLK in my AR-15 but I'm a bit concerned about the lack of a gas check. If I PC the base of the Boolit would it be safe/accurate to shoot at super...

I guess I'm looking for material first with either brass or iron, although I think I prefer iron because it's more durable, but brass might be a good option, can't make up my mind.

I don't have...

I've got room to improve as far as technique goes, but my process is pretty well controlled. I have notes and set temps for each mold, I keep my lead within 15F of target and I check mold temp with...

No worries, I lift, bro. #gains

In all seriousness, I'm 32 and am in good health, the weight of the mold is way down the list of concerns. I'm more concerned about possibly warping a brass mold...

I'm leaning towards iron due to its durability, I've had to scrap a couple of aluminum molds because of user error while trying to lap/polish cavities. If I had high quality molds I'd simply make a...

I've been casting for about a year with Lee molds and I've come to the conclusion that while they are decent molds, they are not optimized for my process. I mass produce two calibers and want a high...

Dang, I melted them all together, wasn't a lot though, guess I'll just scrap it and move on to the next project.

I found an old tackle box and it was chalk full of weights, I decided to melt it down so that I have some pure lead slugs to measure bore size. While melting the weights the color appeared to be...

All I can do to keep from crying is laugh... Turns out they make ovulation tests that looks and act exactly like pregnancy tests, but you know, don't measure pregnancy. So those two lines meant she...

Thanks for the well wishes, it honestly doesn't feel real yet, just a lot to comprehend I guess

And we are going to South Africa in two weeks for vacation, guess she won't be enjoying as much of the local vino.

So I took my father in law shooting for his first time in 15+ years, he's a former Marine and definitely didn't forget how to shoot. The cast 9mm and .308 Boolits performed very well, identified...

One thing that I'm trying to figure out is how to get uniform bases and avoid gouging. I've tried a dozen different things that haven't worked and I've dug through the stickies and couldn't find...

Thanks, right now I have a temp probe on my Klein CL200 meter, which is pretty accurate, but it doesnt regulate temp the way I'd like to.

The 1-10 dial on the lee 20lb pot is about as useful as a one legged midget in an *** kicking contest. What do you use to keep an eye on you lead temp while casting? I'm in the market and will buy...

Not meant to flame but I've been running #400 CCI primers in my 300blk without any issues, whatever your problem ends up being let us know.

I did this too starting out and I can say all it did was end up ruining a couple of molds. Do yourself a favor and go to Walmart and buy an 8 dollar hot plate to hear your molds.

Good Lord, is the list of tools/dies/molds/crapinevereventhoughtaboutbutnowigottahave ever going to end? I told the wife I got into casting to save money...
