Was at my bud's LGS and he showed me his different colored powder coated cast. Seems like a good way to go. Anyone use it--range reports please?

Picked up some 700X yesterday for 357 125 cast loads. It is a "fluffy" powder and plan to run max powder loads for some just to see how it chronys. Anyone use it?

Was asking FW about lubsizers and he gave me this link. Sure am interested in lubing differently from Alox. Now on the lookout for a new tool--where to place it ??

Also have a "mystery". Single cav round chamber (like small buckshot) with 360 and 49C stamped on it. Anyone know what size/weight it is? Can not find it on that chart or on their site.

Just lost my Buddy to a fast moving car. He was chasing after me--we went every where together. It was my fault and burying him was just awful. Had to put down a Springer several years ago--hardest...

Nice area and mighty "purdy". On the top of your berm you can place a couple of cross ties to catch possible ricochets. Drill a hole in them and drive "rebar" or a pipe through them and into the...

Like the others, I feel anger that the PC folks have infiltrated such a worthy org. This, hopefully will be soon stopped by eliminating those responsible from their office.

You can pick up a 4'X4' sheet of scrap metal 1/2" or better and make a nice trap. Back it with heavy Oak timbers and about a foot of sand below. Easy to use a pooper scooper to recover your Pb. Scrap...

A small air/hyd rig should not run over $100. We use 20 and 30 ton rigs but you could get by with much less power. Retraction might have to be assisted also. Thanks for the pics and info. Needing a...

Have never seen any of lead but there is always a chance. Check with some demo companies. Lots of old housing had lead plumbing. All the old cast iron pipes were sealed with lead. People used to...

In moving houses I often find lead pipes that need removing(everyone uses plastic now). Have no idea how much I have piled but should last a long time.
One assumes that OO will only be used on a standing target(perp) and then pass through to kill/injure innocents. What if he is hiding behind your wall and door shooting at you--will you say "wait a...

Would you not get more selling the brass to reloaders than for scrap? I have plenty but surely there are some in need of casings somewhere.

Use a Lyman "O". Bought some poorly pulled 308 diameters couple yrs ago. They kept collapsing my brass so pushed them through a sizer die. Solved the problem. Was having battery problems with some...

First was stolen so picked up another because they are such a nice little shooter. It or an "M" SKS are usually the truck guns. Larry, that "scout" setup is not an FR-8. Sure looks nice though.

Must be nice to have friends with Pb. A bud did give me some sheet that came out of an X-ray lab. Have not smelted it yet till I get my hands on something to mix with it.
Starline "is gud folks"--lol. They sent us a gift certificate for the last gathering. Will be buying my brass from them.
Was having trouble with slides not going to battery occasionally with some 45 boolits purchased from a bud last yr. Think I solved the problem. Ran them through a 452 sizer and tightened the crimp a...

Stumbled onto a 17 Winchester a few yrs back. Shoots great. Rumor has it that Sgt. York used a 17 in his Medal of Honor exploits. They said he grumbled because he wanted an '03.
