I am extremely saddened by some of the posts in this thread. There is at least one member who has posted in this thread that based on action in this thread I have put name on my very short list of...

My woman has a 50-BMG gun that is a take down gun that comes apart in three pieces, barrel, center receiver/scope group, and stock that fits in its own special small suitcase.
That thing is a...
I have shot gas checked boolits from my CZ-52 but ultimatly found it unnecessary and found plenty of loads and boolits that shoot just fine plain base from that cartridge/gun with no leading and...
I just loosen up the sprue plate and/or as Bullshop suggested just smooth off the top inside corners of the block faces to get good base venting.
Closest thing currently on the market (not old stock) is the 1/2" thick waxed cards that BPI sells for $ more then normal nitro cards in a few but not all guage sizes. I have never had the chance to...
Yup, that's the theory. I have recovered bullets fired into snow drifts (specifically for recovery in as close as possible to muzzle exit condition) and this has lead me to believe there is a little...
Oh good grief !!!
Must there always be such arguments about such crazy stuff. I've deliberately tested two guns with chokes to failure years ago by firing harder and hard alloy full bore slugs...
I skipped right over their $600 drill press machine and went straight to their $1,500 full unit that is built sort of like an upside down reloading press and would probably have the leverage needed...
Very interesting, I had no idea you could actually get a plastic injection molding machine for such a low price. Granted single cavity low production rate but still. The one thing I noticed right...
On a Brenneke type attached tail slug - we aren't ready for a group buy. We are still in the very beginning of the prototype stage. For a foster type slug there is enough collective knowledge base...
You could even make a mold with a solid head and then a cast rod spur out its bottom of the right diameter and length such that a stack of these would be a tight press fit down on that center rod...
That's a plastic base-wad for the hull itself. You could get a few of them to play with right away just by tearing down some junk hulls that use that kind of separate plastic base-wad in their...
The Lyman Foster style molds are undersize for most guns and you have to have a machinest turn out their diameter a little larger to get decent accuracy out of them, they also have a very thin not...
As to better terminal performance on harder or tougher targets, you can get some of that by modifying a typical foster slug so that the hollow base isn't as deep and the nose is molded thicker with...
The only homemade wadding components I've messed with were cellulose fiber based rather then plastic based. They do work but are a lot of time and effort expended into making them.
Plastic...
Just buy a 0.395" round ball mold, track of the wolf has that size in a Lee six banger mold block. Three of them cast from good hard alloy make a dandy of a "Tri-Ball" load for the 410-bore. Just...
I just attached a couple foot or a little less long lengths of 1"x2" on instead of the stock handles. Make one slightly shorter then the other makes one hand operation and opening easier. Slide...
In that case I think I should clarify my statements further even though I have tried to do so already. "Building followers" I do not see so much as a "character flaw" as a different personality type...
Can't 100% deny the possibility.
I personally am actually more interested in the more theological discussion (I've tried not to get argumentative although I admit maybe not with full success) as...
@ UNIQUEDOT
By "following" I was referring to the semi-fanatical group of "fans" kind of like pro-sports fans Superbowl type rooting for your team and getting a huge high when your team wings or a...
The "false assertion" that I believe is a form of wishful thinking personified on a subconscious level boils down to your (and others, you are by no means the first one I've encountered with this...
To avoid double charges put the powder in one shell, then insert at least the first wad your going to use into the shells mouth with your fingers indicating that shell has been charged. Then and...
