That's a great idea.
Maybe I'll go grab some shot for it.
I managed to scare off all the deer around here so the squirrels have plenty of room.

I'd like to get one of those .54 Renegades someday, at least they have grooves: unlike my .56 smoothie. Surprisingly accurate though. When I first shot it I had a 5 gallon bucket hanging as a taget....

I just started in on some. Broke and bent a couple depriming pins, guess I'll have to get a dedicated decapper.

Wow! That's crazy.
I guess I can add to my gratitude list that I have a couple old time gunshops around that know how to keep their customers happy and still stay in business.

What kind of powder does your local guy charge you that much more for?
I didn't look to see what the shipping charge was, but the powder prices seemed to be pretty much in line with what I...
I have seen 3 or 4 311467s on ebay over the last year. They all seem to go for $72, except the one I got week, a just listed buy it now for $25. Now I need the 311465 to complete the 30 cal set.
Gave me a great deal on some brass.
A pleasure.

I have one of the 452460 molds and don't have a current use for it, but will hold on to it because ya never know. Stuff like this is better traded IMO.

What are these worth?

I am thinking of putting a piece or two of soft lead #4 buckshot in the core mold making a soft tip.
What got me thinking about this was the barnes 250 grain bullet. I just thought this might be...

Anybody do any "custom swaging"?
I'd like to get a 250 grain round nose bullet in 30 caliber.
I have a lyman 30 S and I'd like to make some cores with a soft tip by putting soft lead shot in...
I like to have originals as opposed to reprints, but some of the older Ideal/Lyman handbooks are not in good enough condition to really thumb through and can be a little dear. I'd guess most here are...

My local guy (Beecroft's) has plenty of new .30 rem hanging on the wall, the price seemed to be in line with his other new brass. I know I have seen them here and there on-line.

I got one of those 56 SBs this year. Put a bucket out at about 50 yards. Hit it then hit the hole! Then I quit while I was ahead.
