Al H, before you start tap dancing with new molds, consider investing in CerroSafe, from Brownell's. It is a sorta-low-temp process for getting an accurate chamber cast. This, in turn, will...

Hello the camp! You'll find that what works for you is just that --forget the 'rules' Virtually all my bp cartridge and bp rifle boolits to date have been ww. They work: they load, they fit the...

Talk about bread on the water!!! Much obliged to all. Bruce, if you're ever in Sierra Vista, bring a sack of goobers--I'll supply the beer. Well, goes for the rest of y'all, I suppose.
Sorry,...

Hello the camp! Need refreshing/reinforcement for what I thimk I know about reloading for autoloaders. Conventional wisdom was that SLR and cast lead boolits don't mix. Is that the case with FAL? If...

Hello the camp! While I never gave the subject a lot of thought, my pard, Bill, and I figured we had it covered when we worked for Sportsman's Warehouse.

Bill enjoyed taking surplus military...

Much obliged. I've checked online data, will be disappointed in 4th ed. Taking the point of starting with heavy bullet data, I'll probably start at 5 gr HP38 and go from there.
These are...

Hello the camp! This, of course, is what will let me sell my accumulation and buy a better grade of who-shot-john. I recently refurbished my SDB and set it up for small primers--mainly for .40s&w...

Charger, that's one of the reasons I have so many dumb-Webb stories. I'm looking for .40s&w data. Because it all runs together, I'm not sure the .40 was around when the 3rd Ed. was published in...

Hello the camp! Unique is a good powder in full-power loads. I started cas 25 yr ago as you did: 200 gr bullet and 5 gr Unique for the .44spl. After a match, I'd have enuf powder in my vest pocket...

Hello the camp! The main thing about shooting yerself in the foot is how good it feels when you quit. I've been having fits finding load data for Ranier 165 gr rnfp. I find data for 150 and 175;...

Hello the camp! Yessir, you have a keeper. While mine is a Taurus, not a lot of difference. It is a 'special' defense rd, no pun intended. I tout you onto CCI Blazer's flying ashtray, 200 gr of...

Hello the camp! Concerning the several rows of holes in Lyman/RCBS sizing dies, they accommodate a variety of boolit configs by varying the holes in line with lube grooves. While my 4500 did not...

Hello the camp! First stab at making 45/45/10 went swimmingly. Nothing succeeds like success.
What follows is not original; I burgled it off a kaboy-kinda site. Made from shop scrap--doesn't...

Know whereof you speak, sargenv. Graf paid hazmat for orders with Cheddite 209 primers around xmas. Where were you shopping? I'm running low on AmSelect.

I wasn't clear enuf, AG. The CCI sale...

Hello the camp! Don't intend to change the thread; I have used Wolf primers to no ill effect. That said, I prefer home-grown products: WLP and CCI300.

To that end, rec'd the following in today's...

+1 for Lowes [housecleaning section] and Randy Rat. Just got 3# lanolin; made my batch of Ed's Red. Wondering what I'm gonna do with 5qt of cleaner and 2# of lanolin. Anyone want me to clean yer...

Much obliged; always glad to see I'm not tilting another windmill. I bought the little burner to do chamber casts in my gunroom (indoor, finally, after 35 yr). Now I need to melt lanolin for Ed's...

Hello the camp! I'm fixing to make some lubes and such with a lowest-price-known-mfr-no-gramatics heat source. How far off would I be if I took a known volume (tomato can, 28 oz) of canola oil up...

Hello the camp! Cuz I load mainly for bp, I use Midway's .45acp boxes for storage, ala Meister SPG, but my lube is ala Emmerts. Once I bought the 100 boxes, I didn't know what to do. I've used the...

Hello the camp! Looks like this cooker is popular. I got mine, nib, on Craigs's List for $15 cuz I went to Tucson to pick it up. Then I went to Harbor Frt and got their $20 12 qt dutch oven. Like...

Hello the camp! Cuz my 38-55 Lyman was dropping shy to suit my Win, I went looking for an article I had read on beagling. I know the why, was hazy on the how, thus the search. While several posts...

Hello the camp! Anal dude that I am, I used a rawhide mallet until I needed it back in my gun room. I took an 8" length of 1 1/4" oak dowel, bored a 2" hole in one end, filled it with shot and...

Yup, fr, but ya gotta hold yer tongue jes' right. Contacted Zerust, told them I rolled the balance of matl in plastic food wrap, asked if that would keep the good stuff in. They said it would;...

Hello the camp! My current 'war' started with slugging bores and plugging cylinders on my .44-40s and .44spls. I finally have molds for both that are running pretty fair-to-middlin'. My...

Hello the camp! Check out the attached for motors and parts to satisfy your imagination. It is a tinkerer's Victoria Secret. Hope it helps. mm
