Thanks, sorry about the pictures, I did a good job recording my project of smelting lead on my dock a few years ago, but I lost the touch. I think I got it back now tho.
Thanks again

Thanks for the comments and info. I did not know the Model, I have never seen another Model 2. From what I see by handling the gun and working the action, it must have been a superstar in it's day...

Thanks Guys, this helps. I guess the best way is to test the market on GB and go from there.

I have a Remington Rolling Block mod 1 1/2 .32 Rim-fire Rifle in pretty nice condition, most of the finish is still good, the Stock is nice as well. It has a Hex Barrel, it's all there and everything...
Good choice, I have carried a 642 for years now. Stainless, hammer-less, +P, 15 ounces, no lock, reasonable. Bought it on the first look, it's not rocket surgery. Critical Defense ammo.
Good...

Thanks,
I lubed and sized a batch without JPW and went to the range yesterday. The gun does seem a little cleaner, but I will continue to watch it and adjust.
Thanks again

Could JPW mixed with LLA cause burn marks around the cylinder down the sides of the Barrel? Lately I find a lot of hard to remove soot on the sides of Guns shooting Clays and lubed with LLA, JPW and...

Thanks,
It's a .060 roll pin and I have the punch, thanks for the instructions, they removed the guesswork and give a little confidence.
Thanks again, Len

Thanks for the information, I have Acetone and will try it first. Depending on how it goes, the other two sound like just the thing.
Thanks again len

I acquired a Remington model 1 1/2 trapdoor and 2 old 12 gauge side by sides from a friend. He got them from his father in law who had coated them with some sort of clear, maybe the spray can stuff....

I would like to change the front sight on my 686 to a hi viz. The sight blade has a pin holding it, but I am sure that it's not as easy as it looks. Before I start, can anyone give me a heads up as...

I guess the shrinkage was more like .002. I concur on the .38's, I have been using same set of dies for 30-40 years, no problems with them, probably twice the surface area with the .44's. I am sure...

Thanks,
Tried to open up the die and spread the crimp, but with all the sockets I have to use as a punch, can only come within .005 one way or the other. Chilled the carbide ring in the freezer and...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Thanks to all, I should have thought of the lube myself, I have loaded 1000's of .38 spl with no problem but the .44 is a different animal I guess. I tumble in walnut and they feel smooth and clean,...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Thanks,
I noticed a few galling marks on a few casings before it happened, may have gotten some grit in the die somehow.
Thanks, again.

The carbide sizing ring parted from my Lyman sizing die while loading some .44 mag. It could be a shrink fit or silver soldered, there are no pins, threads or any obvious way to hold it in.
I have...

I am sure that the veteran casters won't need this, but it worked pretty good. I was having trouble with a 6 cavity Lee mold opening easily every time, sticking, leaving parting line fins, etc. It is...

Thanks for that, I went there and things are a little sparse. Midway and Mid South are out of stock with what they do carry. It was for a friend who needed it for a stage play and I talked him into...

Does anyone have info or data regarding loading .38 Spl blanks?
Thanks

Just go with the Trail Cam. Powder and gas cost money, why waste them, not to mention the lawsuits that would come back at you.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Sounds a lot like the mess you get when you smelt stick on W-W's. All the glue and foam backing go to the top, make a thick glop and need a lot of skimming.

I have recently noticed that a few .38 rounds in each box seem to go oversize for some reason. I know that some of my brass has been loaded several times and my mistake may be in not keeping good...

Thanks Excess,
I was kind of thinking someone would probably have a handle on it. I really appreciate your input.
