Hmm? How about an 8 shot K frame with moon clips? It would just be one more thing that is fun to play with.

Forum: Casting Equipment
I always pour cast and leave a small puddle. The weight of the column of lead in the pot can cause finning, etc. And pressure pouring has always left me with small pin holes in the bullet base and...

I started reloading 42 years ago, and immediately started casting boolits. Started on a single stage press, and still use single stage exclusively. Every powder charged case has been visually...

I would do a fluid change and a tune up. Brake inspection. And lube job. Many things are sealed so you may not be able to lube them. And they may go out once you start driving it. U joints, ball...

Where is the leading? Toward the muzzle, or through the entire barrel?

Those tubes looks like what came with my single stage Hornady press. The tubes slipped into an L shaped piece that bolted to the press frame. The system worked, but using the press to prime didn't...

I preheat my mold, just so I don't have as many rejects to start. I don't touch the spout, instead dropping the stream into the mold. If I "pressure" cast I get spout clogging and voids in the base...

All the above methods are great tips. It appears to run into the screw hole for the saddle ring. I would think about also gluing a dowel into the screw hole and drilling a new hole before reassembly....
MP molds are so beautiful it is a shame to use them. But use them like crazy. I'm sure you will be happy with it.

You need to lube 30 carbine cases. It is a tapered case and the dies are not carbide.
I think the small nut on the top of your decapper die is not tight enough. It is a collet style system, and if...

The Remington Classic 8x57 is not a myth. I know they are out there. But I'm not selling. Can always have a sporter mauser rebarrelled if your heart is set on 8mm. I kind of like the 8X57. Factory...

I use Imperial Case Forming Wax. Use a minimal amount rubbed on the neck and body with the fingers. The dents you are getting are probably from an excess amount of lube. Imperial Wax is amazing under...

The hand spring is staked into the hand. But not a hard fix. It may not be broken. Might just need a good cleaning.

Just a question, because I have heard of this happening in the past with the installation of wind generators. Has anyone experienced an increase in property taxes with the installation of solar...

Can you describe the pin sets? More then one set?

Take the bolt out and slide a rim under the extractor. The case should kind of snap into position and be held up by the extractor tension. If not, it could be the shape of the hook or lack of spring...

I use a bottom pour with 6 cavity. Actually for everything, so I can't say much about dipping. But fill the pot with lead. Refill when it gets half empty or so. With more lead in the pot, the temp...

I don't think you folded the mouth during bullet seating. I think you would have felt it, and there would still be some marks on the case after firing. Once fired brass would be hard and brittle in...

Years ago I started having misfires with rounds primed in the press. I moved to hand priming ALL cases and since then I have not had a single misfire. The feel of the primer being seated is much...

I enjoy the .17hmr for eradicating ground squirrels. I'm using the CCI V Max ammo, and what is left of a ground squirrel shot at 70 yards would not be much to eat. I actually turns them inside out....
