Boy! I must be in real trouble. My Stihl Chainsaw will be going belly up any day now. Since July of 1999, it's been on a steady diet of 93 Octane fuel laced with Mercury Quicksilver outboard oil at...

For future reference, they can be purchased at a Tru-Value Hardware Store. I've had to do it. I took the mould block to insure that I got the correct metric size.

As stated above I seat and crimp Hornaday checks nose first to good effect. Changing to base first would require totally readjusting my punches, something that I will not do. I'd rather stay with...

THX!

Can you refer me to a source for the lithoplate?

Also, what is the thickness of the lithoplate?

I size and lube with a Magma tool. I'm considering obtaining a Freechex III, and wonder whether .44 caliber aluminum checks can be expected to seat and crimp properly on a Lyman 429215 with the Magma...

When I began using monotype to sweeten my melt for good fill out, I at first had a problem with a lot of mush forming on top of the melt. The crayons and paraffin I was using at the time would do...

I enjoyed all his works, but my favorite was "The Streets of Laredo".

This thread just reminded me of how glad I am that I built my own machine using pillow block bearings, steel shafts, and a 1/3 hp. motor.

I have and use the O Cedar pads, but when I can find the Chore Boy, I buy several. For some reason the Chore Boy pads cut the lead a lot faster than the O Cedar brand.

Wise and unblemished advice!

Patience is a virtue.

[QUOTE=runfiverun;3130043]lanolin don't like water too much.
the pins don't scrape it off too well, and any grunge in there just sticks to the lanolin.
everything just gets coated with this muck.

Can you please elaborate on the problems associated with lanolin based case lube and the SS pin case cleaning. I clean my brass with my home built tumbler and SS pins. I also lube my cases with...

Good luck, and be patient. The last time I had an order shipped by them via UPS. UPS took nine (9) weekdays from pickup to delivery to get here in Texas.

That said, I've had nothing but stellar...

Aren't you a smart boy?

I bought a Barsto to replace it after the witches brew incident, not before.

I find it interesting to note that given your IQ, you would replace a barrel rather than...

Have a new barrel on hand before you do this. I ruined a P220 barrel and it took less than twenty minutes to do it with this remedy. It pitted the bore beyond belief, and it took less than twenty...

Just wondering whether that's San Diego, TX or San Diego, CA.

Interesting. I don't have a viable digital camera to post a photo, but can tell you that the front of my bullet is not ogival as depicted in the above photos, but rather has a straight edge along...

If you haven't yet tried it, the addition of some monotype or other tin/antimony source may allow you to lower your melt temp enough to increase your as cast diameter to a usable dimension. This...

I haven't seen an 8lb jug of that, my go to powder for 3006 and .308, in over two and a half years. A buddy called me yesterday, and told me that a local gun shop had finally gotten in some one...

Wow. That 452460 is quite different from the ones from my mould. Mine sure is a good shooting bullet though, in both autos and acp revolvers too.

Also a lot easier, more efficient, and faster to use too. I retired my Lewis after I tried Chore Boy on a bore brush.

How is it that the centrifugal force does not just lodge the cases in a lump in on spot of the drum at that high an rpm? My tumbler's drum rotates at 46 rpm, which allows the cases to be constantly...

It would seem that you do not know that any standard 7/8" x 14 thread lock ring will work on the Dillon dies. All dies that I use on my Rock Chucker, regardless of brand have Hornaday lock rings,...

So does anyone believe that the newer product is any better or worse than the older stuff from the red can?

Yes they are thin and small in diameter. If I remember right, they came from the local True Value Hardware, and are in the metric section. I took a hinge screw and lock washer with me, when I went...
