Oh yeah, and I'm using 50 grains of Triple 7.

Right now I can push it down with a good tap with my palm, then again with a tap by my palm on the starter. After that the ramrod gets it down, but requires a couple of final jabs to fully seat it;...

Thanks, the patch is cut along the rifling marks, they were new bought. I will add extra lube to the patch and see what happens with that. Also the musket only has about 50 rounds through it. It is...

I've been shooting .570 round balls with .010 Ox-Yoke patches, and it's a tight fit, yet the patches are still blowing through because they are too thin. I'm wondering if maybe it's the rifling still...

Ah yes, Oregon, God's Country. :-) The ONLY place I'd choose to live other than on my gorgeous Island. BTW, that is a great looking rifle, AND Elk. Elk meat is top of the line in my book, along with...

Thanks for the advice BBB. :-) It has 5 lands and grooves and appears to be a 1-48" twist. I have shot the Lee .578 478gr. minie and it is not as accurate as the roundballs so far, but will keep...

Bought this 1975 made Armi San Paolo Enfield Musketoon at a local Gunshow a few months ago for $140, unfired. It was someone's wall ornament and was mint except the idiot electro-pencilled his name...

I shot my H&R built M-14 for years with the Lee 180 gr. cast bullet and won many matches with it. H4895 is king. My gas checked bullets went downrange about 1800fps, and I would set my sights at...

Is anyone using the 1/2 ton press rather than the 1 ton from Harbor Freight? I see the leverage ratio is the same 20:1 so there would be no diff in effort? The only diff I can see is the clearance is...

Thank you gentlemen, I knew somebody would have already invented this wheel.... :-)

Is the 1/2 ton press adequate for the FC III ? I already have an 8 ton hydraulic press so would be buying the arbor press strictly for the check maker.....

I've used one of the BP lube recipes on the forum in a cookie sheet, and tried to make a cutter out of a piece of wood dowel, but it's not working well. Has anyone come up with something that would...

I noticed some people have mentioned they sit in front of the idiot box and watch TV while they are knocking out gas checks with a mallet/hammer. Is this actually do-able for a 30 cal version of the...

Makes good sense, thanks Mustang, I will give it a go and see what happens.

Just wondering if .0115 flashing could be used to make 30 cal. gas checks? Finding the .014 material up here is next to impossible. Anyone tried this thickness? Anyone foresee any problems if I used...

Final notice folks, this auction will finish tonight at 8:00 Castboolits time in the SAS, so if you're after this 22 bullet making system, check it out. It's still at about 1/2 the price of a new...

Thanks Dondiego, I did. Just wanted to say that there is only 24hrs left for those that are interested in it, as I set a timelimit of 8PM Saturday night.

Wow, that would feed my Nagant and 30-30 for years. :-)

OK, these are now in the SAS section for sale.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this here where most people seem to read? Excuse me if I'm not. Thought I'd just say I've put my Corbin dies in the SAS section at,

Well I don't know how easy that rig is to handle, but I have used Evapo-rust to restore old car parts that were rusted. It is a non-toxic, safe product that removes only the rust and won't touch the...

I'm testing the waters here guys, because I just haven't used these since I bought 5000 FMJ's when a shop was closing out. These are about 25 yrs old in used condition, and served me well way back...

Ok thanks for the heads-up guys. I'll use the 1680 for my SKS-D and stick to the 4227 or 2400 for the big brother. :-) I didn't even open the canisters of 1680 to realize it was spherical. My bad.

I've seen the equivalent charts showing AA1680 to be approx. to H4227. I use 20.5 grains of H4227 with the Lee 155GC bullet and it works great. Now I have a big supply of AA1680 sitting around and am...

No, as I stated earlier, the fellow died; but if we had someone with more time than me, or if someone wanted to do a bit of research, they could start selling it themselves. I'm pretty positive it's...
