25-20 barrel was bright and shiny under a coat of powder fouling.

I just picked up my savage 23b and when I cleaned the barrel I found no indication of copper. Even sweets 7.62 returned no blue on the patch. I plan on keeping up the tradition!

Ordered Monday evening, got it today. Darn quick service. Mold looks amazing.

I just ordered RCBS dies. They're on sale as well. They were a lot cheaper than the catalogs or ebay even.
Question: has anyone used an expander from a 6.5 cartridge to flare the case a bit to...

Thanks for all of the help. I think I'll go with the GC version of the mp mold. Looks like I should be able to shoot it without GCs if I want and getting the hp pins and a 3 cavity die for the sale...

Froggie,
A buddy says he can maybe part with a bit of brass. I'm thinking I may have to order a bunch of starline 32-20 and form it. I don't like having "improper" headstamps though. No real reason,...

92 winny. Probably 1918.

My brother just lucked into a 25-20
I'm thinking about a 63gr NOE and casting with stick on wheel weights then powder coating them and loading for about 1500fps. Is this a good idea or how should I...

I found the little screw on a shaft that comes with a Dremel tool is a great tool for spinning the lap. The Dremel tool on slow speed works pretty good and the short screw won't go all the way...

While it may be difficult to find the proper volume of phone books in this age of the internet, I've noticed that there is a large container of newspapers out behind the local newspapers print shop....

What does that little CNC milling machine cost? Way back in 1988, I worked in a fabrication shop that had a CNC mill and lathe and the number bandied about then was $ 1,000,0000.00 each. Those were...

Everyone seems to be out of the Lyman dies I need, .452 and 9mm but I found some RCBS. Will they fit?

Jon,
Thanks for the offer. The bolt that broke was the one in the front that had the 1/4" fine thread, the 5/16" shoulder, and the large slotted screw head. I'm guessing what I need to do is drill...

I just saw it this morning and now I can't find it.

I've got a 45 with a broken pivot bolt.

I wonder if, instead of bluing the parts, you could parkerize them. I know it's not original but it would hold up better than bluing.

Is that a micro groove barrel? I don't have any experience with it, but I've read that micro groove barrels and cast bullets don't work well together. I would think it wouldn't take much lead to...

On the contrary, I have shot one. But only with a 22lr. I'm sure it's a lot more impressive when you add some speed and mass to the projectile.

except maybe as a projectile from a black powder cannon.

That's the best use I ever saw for a golf ball!

GREAT IDEA! I was wondering how stiff my hand was going to get even doing the limited number I think I'm going to be doing.

In that case the plan will be to cut off both ends of a 308 case, because I have lots of them, and go from there. thanks all.

I want to experiment with some pan lubing and I need some sort of cake cutter for 45 cal bullets. I'm only planning on doing a couple of hundred so I don't see the point in ordering an actual cake...

It isn't a tumble loob boolit. I'm just tumble loobing it.

They had been sitting around for a couple of weeks.
I had not slugged the barrel yet. I had fired some and the leading was OK but the primers were flattened so I backed them down. Maybe just a tad...

My 9mm leaded up really bad after 25rds. It's a 3" barrel and it's leaded from stem to stern. The lube is 45%LLA/45%JPW/10% mineral spirits. Tumble lubed onto an NEI trucated cone boolit of WW. Air...
