Personally I like ME intact.
I'm really surprised Admin hasnt closed and removed a thread that promotes obviously unsafe reloading practices

Sounds to me like someone jumped into the shallow end...

ive used all 3 in a percussion .50, & ive fuond pyrodex to burn about the same as conventional black. 777 is a bit hotter & to load comparible velocities to black or pyrodex charges need to be...

probably more important than patch shape is thickness, and finding the right ball/patch combination. usually a tight ball patch combo will shoot more accurately. As for wads, some like them some...

Like everyone says, the autoprime uses its own shellholders. and i'll add, disassemble the tool, and put a bit of lube, on the contact points in the tool body, i use just a dab of vasoline. the top...

try cutting one with a hack saw or jigsaw with a fine tooth metal blade, aluminum will clog the teeth in a big hurry

exactly right
KW = kilowatts or 1000 watts = 1 KW
1KW/240 volts = 4.16 amps and at 120 volts would be 8.32 amps.


watts converts to amps, (watts/volts = amps) which is the more common term...

(Licenced master electrician here)
per NEC calculations minimum general purpose recepticles and lighting load calculates out to just under 10 amps (sq feet x 3va / 120 volts) so in theory 1 - 15...

i'd be interested in trying it too, & comparing to my current lube. PM me with details please. ive got a couple of rifles with way different personalities to try it in

And a Crown Royal bag to boot.......my kinda guy :drinks:

chargers for tools of this nature are typically, a small percentage of motor load requirements and in the case of the cheaper tools, can be as low as around 20 milliamps while motor/amp requirement...

Be sure to use a ceiling fan control and not a dimmer switch for lighting. fan control switches (or any other variable speed motor controller) start at max voltage & rpm's where as light dimmer...

My experience has been the little drips that end up on the garage floor sweep up easily, because the slick finish gives them noting to adhire to. though i suspect they would be harder to clean up...

It looks like everyones pretty much covered all the bases, but i'll toss my penny's worth in too.
My vote goes with the .22-250 they shoot flat, & ive been sucessful with mine out to about 500...

I ordered a new .50 Hawken (1/48 twist) from Cabelas about 3 weeks ago, to go along with an old kit 45 kentucky rifle i built about 25 years ago (maybe 30) both percussion.

So far with kinda...

Ive been called that, (among other things lol) but yes, ive been in the trade for over 20 years.

In addition to my previous post regarding circuit calculations, as an addendum, assuming a clean...

what could use a good name like "The Rusty Muffin?" :mrgreen: (sorry guys but i couldnt resist that one) :bigsmyl2:

i use this method also with known loads and find it to be a real time saver in setting up a measure.

the big advantage i've found to graphing my measure is it makes it fast to find the measure...

after reading the above posts and associated link a thought came to mind, we're talking polishing with fine abrasives, either comet or fine grit polishing compound. what about tooth paste? its a fine...

Feel free to joe

Heres a trick i learned probably 30 years ago, thanks to an article in a handloader digest & still as usable today as it was then. Anyone who's fought with making drastic changes in the adjustment of...

LOL ive got the mig but not alot of scrap angle, seriously though, alot of good suggestions here but one that might work too is use a torch and braze the end plates on, brass can be run on the...

Having gotten away from black powder shooting many years ago (about the time pyrodex came out) i'm getting back into it now & while i'm still using the same patch lube i used way back when (though...

The proper way to calculate a circuit load is watts/volts=amps so a 1200 amp @120 volt load is 1200/120=10 amp draw and therefor at 240 volts you'd have a 5 amp draw and so on. (change the amp draw...
