It's frustrating to buy 250-500 and have them not work out. Maybe a request on the right board for someone to send you a few is the answer?

I've shipped a number of heavy items (a 12" lathe faceplate, two sets of heavy steel flats for a powder magazine, a small rock drill) using the UPS Simple Ship method. For heavy and dense items,...
There is a 310 Tool in 32-20 and my LGS if anyone is looking.

The Remington 870 Youth in 20GA is a really underrated weapon. It's not just a 12GA with a different barrel. The whole thing is scaled down, and it's very easy to handle for probably everyone in a...

If you are shooting 357 out of a carbine, Hodgson Lil'Gun can get you a lot more velocity out of the same 158gr or whatever. I would consider it adequate at 100 yards at the speeds you can get it up...

I don't see why you couldn't roll them in ALOX or any similar hard, thin wax and shoot them up. Are they already sized?

Have you tried OC Reload in Anaheim? I needed to load 9mm, and they had True Blue. I believe it's superior to the W-231 and Clays I used to use for this application. If you need primers, try...

BPI sells the "Small Bore Manual" with data and info on 410 and 28ga loading. 410 is small enough that there are 410 dies for a regular single stage Rockchucker or similar press if you just need a...
It also depends on range - you might be able to get away with 950fps if your application is chasing off bears at 50 yards, since they have 2" of fur and hide and the projectiles slow down quickly. ...

Thanks, I think I'll try this with my Contender in .444 Marlin.
Try shooting whatever shot you load at a couple of layers of cardboard at various ranges. You want the pellets to penetrate around one layer of cardboard but not more or else it easily creeps into...
The Sharpshooter mold for #4 or 00 buck makes pretty good pellets and drops a bunch at a time. The secret is finishing them:
1. Clip off the sprues with a sharp pair of flush cutters.
2. Put...

Have you tried electrolytic derusting? I have had great luck with this. My 1871 Mauser got the full treatment, and I was even able to salvage the extremely delicate magazine tube this way. Rusted...

The flywheel and running gear definitely. The main casting might be a hair long to fit. I am willing to ship UPS if you really want it.

I would recommend a paper-patch mold with smooth sides if it's for the 71 or 71/84 Mauser. I have a custom cutter if you want to make one.
I've shot plenty of cast through a USP .40 without significant leading. None of these are pushing the envelope, however.

I got mine a week ago, and so far it has been great. I already performed a few modifications:

You might want to look at Hodgson Lil'Gun. It works great in 30 carbine and .357mag lever guns.
