Turn the oven on and let it come up to temp for 20 minutes or so BEFORE putting the boolits in. Most ovens have a wide swing (too hot) at the beginning until the thermostat...

Check out the local yard sales, buy yourself a $10 toaster oven and enjoy!

It's cheaper for them to pick up and ship a boxed set with the complete Charge Master kit in it than it is for them to pack up and ship the unit and accessories after sorting out what you sent and...

Ditto for my two Smith M-16s. No complaints and the mould casts very nicely.

I discovered all these things a couple of years ago when I bought a yard-sale toaster oven to use for heat treating.

Oven knob markings are inaccurate. Use a thermometer. One that uses a...

This is why I don't carry a "gun rider" on my insurance. I decided that I'd rather keep my guns than have them stolen and have to replace them (impossible), so I bought a good safe. The safe is...

I downloaded it but it didn't work in Excel 2007. I'll check it on an older version when I get home.

Try searching for the 245496. These numbers change from time to time, with the third digit varying, apparently, due to the whims of Lyman. The first three digits are the boolit diameter in...

Recluse,

I was taught a long time ago that God will never give you a burden larger than you can carry. Things will improve. Trust me.

That said...

Just had a thought... (Danger!, Will...

Von Gruff:

I LIKE your process! That's the most simple and effective method I've seen. Sure, it takes a couple more steps, but it WILL develop consistent boolits. Nice work!

Looks like an experimental shot load with a two-point crimp.

I used to have some of those. I don't know whether I still have any in working condition, though. I had one that I bought as a stand-alone, as well as a bunch of shell holders for it. The others I...

Rocky,

That WOULD work, but the DPS 1200 is almost all plastic. I don't have a lot of faith that connecting an alligator clip to plastic (assuming I can find a place to clip it) will create a...

AZ-Jim's right. I broke the one on my 15 or so year old one a couple of months ago on a Sunday afternoon when I was trying to prepare some ammo for a match the following weekend. I ran down to...

The biggest problem I've had with my Lyman 1200 DPS II is static electricity. The "engineers" who designed it decided that to save a couple of $0.01s, so they figured they could get away with not...

We had a cold, widy storm go through here Monday. Rain, with temps in the 50s. We may get yet another before the middle of April. Here's a shot of the results of a March storm we had about 6 years...

After reading the responses, apparently bbailey and I are the only ones who have read the article.

I'm not a big Taffin fan, either, but in this article I think he's spot on. He discusses...

I saw one similar to the one pictured in post #17 at a garage sale on Saturday. It was a bit older, had a brass reservoir and the glass on the front was cracked (but didn't appear to affect...

That guy just MIGHT turn out to be your son-in-law. He sounds like a good kid. At least he was started right. Maybe Carile just doesn't know him well enough. Getting him into the garage might help....

Then he can theach THEM to cast. He may never have to pick up a mould again. Sit back, drink a beer, supervise. Can't beat that.

I think the producers may have been more interested in hiring the "Top People Likely To Look Good On A "Reality" Show Who Can Also Shoot Without Injuring Themselves", rather than the actual "Top...

I guess I didn't recall very well. Happens a lot recently.

If I recall, you'll become a "Boolit Man" after 50 posts and a "Boolit Master" after 150.

As far as I know, I'm the only "Obi Wan Baloney". (I was allowed to edit the "Bub, Man, Master" thing...

Boolit or case??




So's mine, if you back up far enough.

"Sarchasm" illustrates the gap between us 'n' them.

That wasn't a proofreading error, it was a stupid misspelling. I usually use the spell checker to avoid those embarrassments. Missed one.
