Solingen steel is wonderful stuff. I have a set of Henkel Four Star that I love. I have a small thin Wustof “chef’s” knife that is my most reached for. I also have a Chefs choice 6” utility knife...

I have 2 short range 30/30 molds. The 3089 is a 100 grain hollow base and the 30822 is the basically the same boolit with a plain base.
I am looking for 30823 or 30824 or the 31123 or 31124 short...

A little late but I found this at

May God bless you and your family. Relish every minute good or otherwise. Looking back it is all wonderful.
There is nothing that will ever be as rewarding as being a father.

I have used it in short range 30/30 and 32 S&WL and my batch is indeed a fair amount slower than Unique at lower pressures. It was also very accurate and the Standard Deviations were tight. Once...

I know this is an old thread but I just wanted to let future readers know here is a half page in Lyman Cast Bullet handbook 3rd edition pg 39 that speaks a little on the 32 Ideal.

Always scratch. Just too easy and so much more delicious.

If it were mine i would take a fine or extra fine diamond hone to it and ever so gently ease that edge. If you don't own one it is a good excuse to get one and it will probably be cheaper than return...

My "Granny" would soak them in water in the fridge for 24 hours changing it out once or twice. She would then "barbecue" them. That involved slow roasting in the oven with salt pepper and vinegar....

Congratulations on the new gun and having such a good friend. Both are prizes in my book. I have it in 9mm (Starvel) .40 S&W (Blue) and in twins (Blue and Starvel) in .45 ACP. Some of the finest...

Beautiful lead nuggets you have there. I wish i could find a mother load mine of them!

The Tinsel Fairy is like an ex wife. You know she is out there somewhere, waiting to see you in pain. Then as soon as you forget about her for a split second.... GOTCHA!
Hoping you heal up soon,

Free is always better than buy.

Mine was a MEC 600 Jr.
Loaded about 250 rounds a week with it for a long time. Then changed jobs and haven't used it in 25 years.

I'm pretty sure Thin Man meant to type Arsenal and not Accurate when he was referring to the two molds.

I just ordered a case of CCI standard velocity from Targetsportsusa.com for $260 delivered.
I have ordered from them many times and have always been happy. Their shipping isn't the fastest but on a...

praying for you and your family.

John has been heavy on my mind since I posted about my Winchester short range mold on Feb.24.
I noticed I had not read a post from him in a while. I enjoyed so much of his work and he will be...

The answer to that is to buy them in pairs. At least that's what I told the Mrs. "it's the only way to get parts dear"

Whats the best thing to ever come out of Iowa?
I-80.
That being said I lived in Palo IA for about 13 months in the late 90s. Some of the best people I have ever met.
Hard working, god fearing,...

I like how you think :bigsmyl2:

Smelted 80 lbs of pure lead from some old machine counter weights today. Still have another 212 lbs to go.
Sure like it better in small shiny ingots verses large oil soaked slabs.

They measure about 2 3/4" across and they do stack well. I haven't tried stacking them in the pot yet as I am just cleaning up my separate alloys to make it easier to blend them. I like to pour...

I would never had thought that Mike. I have seen them in wood, glass, ceramic, and plastic but never a metal one.
My best guess was something that went around a fondue pot.

I stopped by the thrift store today and looked for an ingot mold and was about to give up when I spotted this. I have never seen one made this way but it works like a champ. It is stamped steel...
