Nice score!
Oh I forgot, this place had literally two 3 foot tall pallets of 22 lr. I didn’t need any so didn’t bother.

Pretty extreme parallel.
I made a CHOICE to enter a private establishment. They, as a business, have the right to deny service to just about anyone they want. My choice was simple. Comply or go...

Everything would burn off or skim off. I would use it.
Regarding pellets, folks over on Gateway to Airguns have cast pellets. I believe one of the heavy content contributors over there helped get...

The Alliant powders were reasonable for a walk-in business. Hodgdon and IMR were same ballpark as yours. The only cheap Hodgdon powders were 700X and 800X at only $20.00.
I'm glad I didn't look...

Those groups look dang good at 100!
I do notice something that may or may not be load related. First group is mostly all horizontal and second is vertical. Neither is a round group. While certainly...

On a whim I decided to run up to my local gun store. I really wasn’t expecting anything at all but I had some time to kill.
First floor entrance had an employee there enforcing masks, checking...

Artist pencils is the cheapest way to test hardness. There’s a chart somewhere on this site with the rough breakdown of which pencil hardness equals which alloy hardness.

I don’t know what your guts would look like but seems to me you could run wall power to a master switch. Then have two leads leaving that switch. One goes to fan which would always be on when master...

Do you mean pushed out beyond flush with rim?
Headspace issue maybe.

I got a small box of wheel weights recently from the service station up the street.
Paid 39 cents a pound.
Only a small sample really. 56 pound box. Of that 25 pounds were lead stick ons and...

What makes you think you created lead oxide?
It’s always been my understanding that substantially more heat than your 650 degrees would be required. Something like 800-900 degrees. Internet seems...

Why would there NEED to be an advantage?
I don’t think I’ve saved a dime since I started reloading and then casting. There’s always something else I’ll spent any saved moneys on. Any money I save...

I saw you slugged your barrel but not that you actually measured your cast bullets. Assuming .312 would be a mistake. Confirm.
Also looks like you might be trying to use jacketed data. Your...

No not alone it isn’t much pressure but I’ve heard of pressure tested fuel and water tanks on ships popping when just a half a psi too much pressure is applied. I haven’t personally observed a tank...
