Hi James! Annie Oakley's Brother was reputed as a terrible shot! So maybe you have something going there! :bigsmyl2:

I have a 24" Ported Barrel on my M500-A, I shoot mainly re-loaded Lyman and a...

Good morning wwboolitmaker, I fabricated my own Roll crimper some time ago, it worked reasonably well.
The major thing is getting the angle of the inner walls right. The inner wall MUST slope...

I have two Jeff Tanner molds, picked up in Essex on my UK trips. I [barely] spoke to him on the phone [Deaf as a Dingbat] and never quite got to meet him - failing health...

Molds were PERFECT.

Hi Hogtamer: I weighed the two different versions: original: 32grams [494grains] but for the new ones - I am getting 39 to 40gms [617grains]
This shouldn't be too bad, I think...

Thanks Hogtamer: maybe I will work on a new bottom pin to create a small hollow. That would shave off a little weight.

Y-man here... Greetings! Its been a while... I hope you are all good?

I have been working on my Slugs, improving them further... Y'all remember that my success has been with Socket Slugs [15mm] on...

I can just imagine if we could find a substance hard enough to load, and soft enough to actually swage [Sp?] though a tight muzzle: so you have a bore that progressively tightens to a small muzzle,...

Hello... Y-man here... We survived the Nigerian elections! Yay!

Just wondering, my Google-fu not very effective right now...

Any one ever cast, loaded and shot (Using a fully rifled barrel) a...

So sorry to hear, I hope you are getting better?

I agree that this may be a bit dangerous. And this is coming from someone who has tried almost everything that can be shot out of a shotgun.

I have done something similar - but used hot-glue,...

Sad to hear. May he travel the Divine journey peacefully...

Thanks Ajay,

I completely did the Push-test [Shows you that I have learnt a LOT from you!]
The slug, in wad passed through the bore with little effort, but was snug [Passed through airtight...

I just got another Turkish Smoothbore Semi-Auto Shotgun – it is labelled: “EFE AV Falcon ‘Automatic’ ‘Magnum’” [Phew! Quite a mouthful – but all these names are all inscribed on the firearm!]

This...

I seem to have a solution more or less. I confirmed that among my birdshot shells - the previously fold-crimped ones are the ones showing these bent/ crushed cushion legs.
The shells that had been...

Thank you Mr. Madan. Thank you very much.
I noticed that the wads compressed a bit which was what I was asking about. I have fired a few with buckshot and Lee Key Slugs and the fired wads were the...

Thank you Rsrocket1.

Hogtamer: Maybe I will look for the right equipment for that when I come to the US next? I simply do not have that, and will also explore improvising a Fold-Crimper... It...

Dear Ajay,
If I may explain myself a bit more.
I am not looking for elegance or gracefulness for my slugs: what I am striving for is functionality. If the compressing of the wad legs, even if...

Hello... I need some advice.
I have been loading Lyman 525 Slugs in Claybuster Wads. Of course everyone remembers I am simply pouring out shot and replacing with slugs of same or lighter weight.
I...

Well, I am back from some shooting, and I delayed in reporting in because I got so disappointed with the Lee Key Slugs.
I shot a few at a target about 46 yards away and did not get even ONE slug on...

BUMP! Anyone hear from Otonel after this?

Jeff Tanner in Essex: he has made several RB moulds for me. http://www.jt-bullet-moulds.co.uk

Hello Guys, I have a question: maybe someone has had some experience with this, or has some wise words to share?
When using the Lyman 525 - I got used to putting a Plastic disk [Or two] beneath the...

Just some pictures of my load-out...

Without rifling: there is NOTHING stabilising the projectile - it will commence gymnastics [Tumbling and turning] almost immediately it emerges from the muzzle.

Hello guys!
Y-man here: back from Las Vegas: so sorry I did not make an effort to link up with you W.R. Buchanan... I was a bit overwhelmed with the magnificence of the event... And also quite busy...
