Forum: Boolit Lube !
Good post Ranch Dog. Looks like it's going to work pretty good for you. Using tumble lube type boolits too I see, (what a concept). Guess I'll have to jump on the band wagon and give this new formula...
Is this some kind of joke? It is pretty amazing that someone would say that shooting another bullet with an obstruction in the bore (any obstruction) probably wouldn't be a safety issue and that in...

I have to say this doesn't surprise me. The website doesn't work and it looks like he's already out of business. I happened to witness the thread in the swaging section (before it got deleted) where...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
I was reading on another site, and a guy there was saying that he had the best luck with Super Durable Wet Black from Powder by The Pound. The reason he said it worked the best is because it's made...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
I agree this should be a sticky. It's pretty hard for people that aren't doing the powder coating to figure out what is being talked about. I've kind of been following this, but only noticed this...
I happen to be off this week and I noticed this thread and it reminded me that I needed to put set screws on my Lee molds for the sprue plate screw. Mine are loose too, mostly because I like to take...

I was talking to a machinist I know from work about material to make dies out of and he was very down on the idea of using anything like 12L14. He said it machines easy because of the lead mixed into...

I guess you must have found a great place to buy quality swaging dies for a good price and get them within a short period of time. Please share with the rest of us!!!

Economical 30 cal jackets seems to be the hard part doesn't it. I'm no expert here so tell me if I'm wrong. Either you pay for copper jackets at near the same price as you can buy bulk 30 cal bullets...
Forum: Swaging
This looks like it keeps getting worse and worse. One of the things that bothers me the most about all this is the demand by die makers of the substantial money up front. When you think about it,...
Forum: Swaging
I bought some bullets at a gun show years ago that looked just like that. No idea who made them, but they shot just fine for plinking.
Forum: Swaging
I have to say, this is one of the most frustrating things I've ever looked into. The ridiculous cost of the dies, long waits, and what appear to be unscrupulous people making dies is a real turn off....
Forum: Swaging
That's great Duke, congratz on getting your dies. However, inquiring minds would like to know how much money and time you have into the set up. You seem to be a big fan of this gentleman's dies and...
Forum: Swaging
rossrods, I think if I was you; I'd be looking at .223 for an AR instead of 300 Blackout. Sure would be easier on your back. Also, if you keep shooting it, why not try cast with a gas check. It would...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I bought some Wolf small rifle recently that were copper colored. Never seen that before. Anyway, had problems with delayed fire. Pull the trigger, and click and slightly later they'd go off. Weird,...
I've gone almost straight tumble lube now. It's so much easier and faster to size them with the push thru sizers and tumble lube them. It's hard to imagine going back the other way now, especially...
Forum: Military Rifles
This should have been done a long time ago. I'll be looking for this for sure. A buddy has a Hi-Point and it works good, but I'd much rather have this type of weapon in 9MM.
Forum: Swaging
Never done it myself. I'd think the most important thing here if you're going to try it, would be like a few members mentioned; I'd clean them up good and run them through a sizing die to staighten...
Forum: Swaging
Man, the op sure got in a hurry to dump these dies before he even had a chance to test the bullets out properly. I can't understand his attitude toward .223 at all. There's nothing I like more than...
Forum: Swaging
I just checked evil-bay and you are right. Man this guy is someone to stear clear of, thanks for this thread. I also saw that other guy selling a set for $475 that's not even finished. I had watched...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I've been reading alot of old posts and I've noticed that questions come up every once in awhile about casting for .223. Am I the only one that thinks casting for .223 is pretty much a waste of time?...
Forum: Swaging
I've seen some pretty dumb stuff, but that takes the cake if that's for real and not staged. I wouldn't trust that moron to weave baskets either. He'd find a way to screw that up too.
Forum: Swaging
I always thought flux was necessary too, like when soldering copper pipes. I guess it's worth a try to get it to bond without it. Who knows, I've seen stranger things.
Forum: Swaging
I'm probably making a huge mistake commenting on this thread, but this has to be the strangest thing I've seen on this forum. There appears to be a few really confused individuals here. From the OP...
