Your welcome...and yes I did manke it. Autocad is great.

Just in case someone may want to try them.
This is a printout that yields a handfull of patches. These are for a Lee 500g that I shoot in my 45-70, a Pedersoli 1874.
I use plain printer paper,...

I full well intend to do a cast / barrel slug on this one. Too many potential variables.

Also, and I presume here, that the reason or at least one of them, that the action is weaker is due to...

Multigunner,

Much thanks. That indeed is the one! This rifle belongs to a friend of mine. He wanted me to ID it, and frankly it had me somewhat stumped. Very interesting. This particular rifle...

This is a pic of the receiver of what I believe to be a type 30 Arisaka with the hook safety. However, the 'mum' doesn't look like any that I have found and note the absence of any Japanese...

Appreciate all the input folks. Good stuff there.
I'll give all this a whirl and see where it leads me.
All the boolits I had on hand were already sized down to .451 and it just happens to be the...

Didn't have any on hand, and frankly I didn't think about those ahead of time. Next time though...

Lets see ifn I can answer some questions here...

The powder charge (50grn FF. (35.5 grn/wt)) is I used 50gr by volume which happened to weigh 35.5 on the scale. I started at 50 because I had to...

Finally got a chance to take the Sharps out for a spell with some pp boolits.
Lee 500, down sized to .451 (bore), wrapped then lightly lubed with SPG and re-sized to .457, 50grn FF. (35.5 grn/wt),...

Just really simple. Its my surname and the avatar, well one of those caricatures. My son insisted I get it done at a fair one time. I scanned it and reduced it.

Thanks for the input folks. Makes me lean in the direction of Lee on this so far.

Dave thanks for the input. I am just now beginning to see how much cost there is in extracting the fun outa the big 50.

Looking to get a press for the big round. Have looked at RCBS and looks good until the $$ is looked at. I use RCBS on everything else though, and have nothing but good to say about the equipment.

Stopped in to a store near me yesterday (Sat) to browse a bit. Store was very busy to me, but the guys there said it had slowed down some for the day already. Anyways, primers $39.95/1K, unless you...

peter nap,


Its simply (force x radius)
If the radius is in inches and the force in pounds, the result is in inch pounds.
It could be inches x ounces producing inch ounces of torque (yes, it...

Actually, 1 pound at a 1 foot radius is 1 Ft. Lb. or 12 in. Lbs.

Update: Info found. I got this from another forum I visit.

Background,

Basically it comes to this: It is junk science that is patented by a company. Said company is pushing the legislation. Can we guess why?

I came across some good stuff on this topic, but I'll have...

THATS the words I couldn't remember!!!

Yep. Not sure what it is. At times I think its from some sort of powdered metal bullets or similar. The stuff that I screen out I will eventually refine, but Because of the odd behaviour, I tend to...

Scrap works great. I get (free gratis) all I can carry from the indoor range on the facility where I work. Backstop is steel plate, so even the jacketed stuff is well spattered.

I pass it first...

Yep. Sure amazing what we'll spend to save money.
Gas Burner - 29
LP Bottle (filled) 40
Cast iron pot 20
Free range scrap
Turning out your own - priceless!

What a great thread! Had to read it all. Saw that someone mentioned the use of 'engine break-in lube' a few pages back, and it reminded me of camshaft lube. This is an assembly lube with a 'tacky'...

Well folks, all I can say is thanks for the good info. Figured I'd get an answer here. Bunch of smart folks in this place.

I did have a fan, 2 actually. 1 behind me and one on the other side of...

Not too long ago, I got into a little bit of light casting. You know a few bullets here and there.
Little did I know that I was fully infected. The diseasee grew and prospered. I am now a full...
