Take a deep breath and calm down.
There’s no reason to be fearful of casting. There’s just a learning curve. Enjoy the process of learning and new skill.

I have a couple containers of trailboss that I can’t see ever using. I didn’t know that it’s hard to get.
If he’s looking at 22lr, maybe a ruger charger would fit the bill.

I could see a pump working out better nowadays than any time over the last decade. 3d printing makes more interesting parts easier and cheaper to manufacture and marketing would be easier. The push...

I’ve recently bought a tube fed lever gun for which I want to start casting. It’s 357/38spl. I’ve cast for other calibers so I’m good with the process, but not sure about the lead. Most commercial...
Interested in learning more about this topic myself.
Dude..really… Glock mags are cheap. Stack them deep while you can still find them and they are legal to buy. “Times are a-changin’ “as my grandfather used to say.
Asian military are probably kci korean made mags. I have many of the 33rd kci mags for a pcc, but wouldn’t use them for anything I depend on like a handgun.
I haven’t bought any parts or made any new form 1’s since the gubmint started harassing people for buying solvent trap kits and I got a letter from the ATF because I bought a non regulated item that...

This is the milling plans I used for my ti 9mm form 1. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240307/231daf2f0475440f4a4c853b89ac458c.jpg
It can be made for whatever caliber you want and you can use it on whatever smaller than stated caliber meaning if it’s registered as a 30cal on the form 1 you can still use it on 223 or whatever as...

I love the Grendel but I’ve never cast for it. I have it set up for night prowlers. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240304/f14f61c3867dbb6e95933b1fde366daa.jpg
When pistol shooting at an indoor range, I use this bag and have for more than a decade. It’s way tougher than I’d expect anything from Blackhawk to be. It probably doesn’t have enough pouches and...

I’ve bought reloading tools, equipment and lead in lots (usually estate sales) that almost always have projectiles I’m not going to use. Since I didn’t spend time casting them and the projectiles...
I’d say it’s the difference between tooling in a mass production and a small scale production process. Same with a lot of things. The reason an Anderson lower is $50 and a Knights lower is $200. I...
