guy was crying about the high cost of shooting, I just pointed out that there's ways to build/maintain skill that cost little or nothing.

is pewter lots cheaper thin tin, for some reason?

ok, call it "half commerical or what you want, but a propane powered plumber's furnace, used, runs about $100. a couple of 6 cavity lee molds at $70 each, and a Star Progressive sizer is $300,...

dunno if he's still in biz, but JD Jones, the handgun hunter, marketed what he called the "tough SOB" pistol scopes. He'd know what rifle scopes are most shock resistant, I betcha. He used to make...

well, if you'd argued that as a fact (2400 fps minimum) you'd be denying all the millions of deer taken with Ky rifles, handguns, 30 carbines, handgun caliber carbines. Which would make you look...

not in any gun that i am going to shoot. I'd surely fire a bunch of the them with the "tie it to a tree and pull the trigger with a string" method!. u r going to try run black powder in an...

I use a big old cast iron pot from wally's, I think I saw a $12 tag on them not long ago?

I aint got a hair dryer, and wouldnt waste my time on such a thing. The oven thing works great, if the sun aint bright.

I once had 3000 lbs of clean lead., 100,000 primers, and 100,000 .22's. thought I was good forever. 5 years later, I'd shot it all.

then you'll make/save $30 an hour, finishing 500 or so bullets an hour, with say, $700 in the gear. Instead of having $300 in stuff that turns out less than 100 finished bullets an hour. Ditto...

there's always been this thing called "dryfire", and now there's laserlight and Airsoft, too. I probably have 3x the drysnaps as i do live fire, and the live fire is well over `1/4 million rds. Us...

I seal them up in an ammo can, with packets of dessicant. H & G said to never put oil in/on a mold.

I'd call the maker about having them do it. They have the experience and tools to do it right. Mold blocks are pretty soft iron, it would be difficult to drill out the broken end of the screw...

poker makes every bit as much sense as stacking ammo to burn it, or dropping it in the ocean every 10 years, instead of selling it.

As a kid, dealing with lead sheeting, I just used an axe. :-) Modern day, given the same problem, I'd try an air-chisel.

It is a shame that Lee quit making their pistol rest. With good ammo, guys, a good 1911 groups 2" and less at 50 yds, for 5 shots. Not 3" at 25 yds. I had one wonderful variant, which was an Old NM...

I used to have rounded base problems. I tried running the mold colder than the alloy, having a thermometer in the lead pot,, using a bit more antimony, etc, and those tips helped. But what REALLY...

No, I got into it with lyman, but it wasn't until I got a pair of H&G's, a Star Progessive sizer and a 100 lb pot on a propane fired plumber's furnace that it started being worth my time. Given a...

uh, how can the trigger bar be pushed down? :-) when the disconnector is pushed down, it disengages the sear. When the disconnector is "up" in its notch in the slide, the sear can be moved by...

Lee 6 cavity molds are well made. The single and double cavity molds' "alignment pins' are a bad joke.

what if he loads some ammo with the switched powder and some innocent ends up shooting it, hmm Do you guys have a CLUE how expensive and hard to get powder is these days? Mess up 8 lbs of it, on...

yep, I am off by one "zero". whew. that's much better. still bad, but much better. thanks

I have a friend who has a cement mixer. Cleans 5000 rds of .45 brass at a time. He's a commercial loader. Does a batch for me for $10. when I have small batches of some other caliber, I put it in...

Only $2 each for once fired 308 cases, too. Gee, what a deal! Only 50x what they are worth.
