For me, the biggest gain is in keeping my health. Because the lead is completely encapsulated, there is no longer (or at least very little) atomized airborne micro lead particles created and...

Living here in Arizona, in a rural area, I have had to deal with buzzworms (that's the old cowboy slang for rattlers). I know how to coexist with them and how to safely remove them to other habitats....

Yes,...70s and early 80s production. I have some from the early 70s when CCI still went by Cascade Cartridge Inc. As long as they have been properly stored, they should still go bang reliably.

I have a friend down in Bisbee who had a similar experience. He was discovering that his hummingbird feeder was completely depleted overnight and he didn't understand why. Are there nocturnal...

For those of you who really enjoy Hummingbirds, and whom plan on traveling through southern Arizona at some point in the future,...do yourself a favor and make a brief detour through Portal, Arizona...

Got another email update from Schupter on their automated single mold caster (kinda patterned after the Magma Master Caster).


Hi there!

I'd like to give you a short update on the project...

Received another email update from Schupter.

Hi there!

I'd like to give you a short update on the project status:
1. The comercial machine concept is ready. It has been adopted to Magma molds...

M-Tecs, your private message storage is full and I cannot contact you with crucial details. Please clear some of your cache and message me.

Well, Magma has been selling whatever they can since the pandemic, but that hasn't been much. Whatever sizing dies they had in inventory when production halted in late 2020 is what they have been...

I just finished bidding today on the left over sizing dies Magma had in inventory. I didn't get them all. Someone else was bidding against me and was absolutely determined to get the larger lot. But...

I agree. I would have happily spent twice per mold that the current bid is at. But more than half the lot is stuff that will take forever to sell and maybe never will.

Yeah, I'm here locally in the area, so I bid on some of the mold inventory, but already have been outbid.

Just because your favorite .22 ammo you have always used worked well before the .22 ammo shortage of 2013-2017 doesn't mean it still does. That period of time changed EVERYTHING in the .22...

I'm more curious where the heck you found it for that price!

Yes, it was. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557203067249

Go check out the Facebook page "Magma bullet casting equipment owners". The guys there are being proactive in trying to devise solutions in the new circumstances. 2 of them have already begun trying...

Fiocchi just openned their primer manufacturing plant in Little Rock, Arkansas. They announced in 2022 that they were building it, and broke ground in early 2023. I'm guessing it is up and running...

If your wheel weights are the typical content, your projectiles should likely have a hardness somewhere between 10-12 Brinell. That is sufficiently hard for being driven to about 1000fps. But if you...

The Dandix sizer costs $1600 (or at least did several months ago when I exchanged emails with Dan). That may seem like a lot, but it is a small expense in comparison to the Magma Lubemaster or the...

A reasonable question, but I think the answer is both yes and no. Even coated boolits need to be sized. They just don't need the lubing part. For myself, as a budding new commercial caster, and with...

UPDATE: Magma has been bought out and reborn,...in Australia.

You can keep tabs on them here at their new Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557203067249 Here is their...

They used to be located here in Arizona over a decade ago. They were indeed operated primarily out of a warehouse at the Goodyear Airport in the special Foreign Trade Zone there, because they would...

I've been a fool for Spyderco Endura and Delica knives for over 35 years. And my current daily carry knife is their Pacific Salt 2 version of the Endura. The Pacific Salt 2 series uses H2 steel,...

Well, I was going to wait to do this til later, as I only just bought a used Master Caster a few weeks ago and haven't even set it up yet. Heck, I need to build my new shop first.

But if this is...

I visited Magma personally because I live in the same area, and talked to Eric, the owner. They have none in stock.
