Be a man. Use slugs. lol

Idk where you are located, but in some markets, that’s a decent raise. In other places….not so much.
Being union, our raises were set by the contract. The labor market and economy were in a vastly...

I was more concerned with the integrity of the brass than the actual finish. I was thinking that maybe I had tumbled too long or caused a problem that would make it weaker. Just wanted to ask more...

The second batch of this same brass came out great after I changed the media.

I just use regular dawn dish soap and stainless pins in my wet tumbler with great success. I’m not sure how dishwasher soap would work out.

I’m not sure what happened here with a load of brass that I tumbled in a vibratory tumbler. It was used walnut and that’s what I’m attributing the gold color to. I changed the media and ran a new...

Decapped and resized 1150pcs of 38 special brass. Got half in the tumbler now. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240408/d281f525316ee59af1c0a56ac85273b0.jpg

Cast my first 12g slugs. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240406/ddda4a8325b71b225418891a73ff7e16.jpg

I just unboxed a PID from Hatch and fired up a new 420 pot. It worked great. I really recommend it. I’ve never cast such consistent projectiles.

Set up a cheap wireless endoscope to help make sure there’s powder in each case before seating the projectile. (I know this case looks terrible inside. It’s just one i use to make powder...

There’s really only 2 outdoor ranges anywhere near me. One is pretty well known and really popular. The other is expensive and has shooting tubes. There’s a couple indoor ranges that I use for pistol...

I live in Louisville. For the most part, it’s a liberal dumpster fire. There are some decent places in Ky but I wouldn’t recommend spending much time in the city. Louisville does have some incredible...

I hardly talk to people here and talk to even less people in person. I only know 2 people personally that reload but have sold a tons of lead to people that cast.

I looked it up on gunbroker. Geez!!! It’s really that expensive? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240320/b9fb3a1d728ffca27543a8010f7630d9.jpg

Ok.
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.

Pictures of your situation would...

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’ll take the trigger.

I live in a city of around a million people. I’m more than ready to move, but I can’t leave right now. I’m going to buy some acreage probably later this year and see if we can move in the next few...

16 what to 1 what?

What would be the objective? I have a few hundred lbs of soww’s for which I haven’t found any use.

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.
