I heat my molds over the pot about 850 degrees, then turn down to 700-750 -800 <depends on outside temperature> and cast. I don't dip my aluminum molds in hot lead for fear of warpage. If frosty...

I have a 6 cavity H&G 50 bnwc mold bought at the same time as the Star. Some times in cold weather a Christmas tree bulb works for heat.:smile:<stays on until it burns out.>

I bought one with hard lube and removed the screws and turned upside down in a large pan and stuck a solder iron in the cylinder and walked off for a few hours. Remove the rubber parts. The above...

Yours look like this?

Heli coil kit has everything you need other than a drill and wrench. Measure the opening and get the next oversize. <metric-or fine thread>When I buy a press with old lube I turn it upside down with...

I have a couple boxes of 1942 ammo and just looked and they measure .468 in the middle and taper crimped .470 on the end. I taper crimp .472 and have several target 1911's.

I have used a black powder gun with toilet paper in the barrel.

The back of my LYMAN book has twist for rifle and pistol.

I will say 3x9 overall. With a splatter target you can see the holes at 100ys. I have 4 power and up to 6x32 on a bench rest. I prefer peep sights but you can't see the holes.

Had one in the computer room last week with the door wide open and took about an hour to find find it's way out. If I get one in my 40x50 shop with an 18' overhead door open they never find their way...

If a mower has a starter it has a flywheel. I have replaced several nylon starter gears but never a starter. Youtube shows short cuts on replacing them. The last push mower I had quit running in 100...

Plated wadcutters are not recommended and you can shoot a flush 148 dewc for practice. Bullseye--231--and 700x are recommended powders.

I have 6--450s and there three bolt designs. A photo would help.

You could check the voltage. An alternator puts out 13.80-- 14.20 volts. If generator you can install a smaller pulley. I install smaller pulleys on 6 volt tractors converted to 12 volt. A small...

I's a gear shift for a Farmall tractor. What a brain.

Shooting buddy had some of those today and wouldn't fire double action. My Winchester primers worked 100% in his gun. Dent was deeper in the Win. also.

cut 2''s deep around the trunk with a chain saw.

Live and learn. Thanks for the update. Sounds kind of slow. I may get one and hog it out to .434 if the steel is soft enough. I may be better off swapping for a gun with smaller throats.

If you ream it out you will need a larger piston or it will leak lube. They are normally .001 smaller than the die. For some reason all the 44 mag dies I've seen drop .431 or smaller. The sizer needs...

Just roll crimp over the front band. I do 9mm the same way in 38-357. If too short back off on the powder. There is not much information on that mold. Looks like it would work in a leaver gun or a...

Albert's was one of the first to make a coated 45 acp swag boolit. I had some.

Someone here last week or so said they could make Star dies.

I bet someone would swap you a good Lyman 450 heads up--Then you could get parts.

I have a few molds I can alox without sizing. They just don't hold enough boolits. If I size a boolit with one of my 450's I may well lube it at the same time.

I bought a MCGRAW 21 gallon last year but with the oil compressor. No problems an no leaks. I bought a filter at a hardware store.
