I understand the dangers here, but guys, what I'm doing is just making a black powder cannon. That it's a firework is, or should be irrelevant. Like any black powder firearm, it needs to not explode,...

They are 5" & 6" long cylinder shells that I buy. I don't make my own, but I was figuring on cutting the lift charge open to repackage a larger charge. I hadn't really settled on how to handle that...
Forum: Special Projects
That's an interesting idea, Super6. I especially like the idea of a wood bottom plug, for safety. You think HDPE pipe is strong enough? What kind of lifting charge do you use?
Winger Ed, you're...

So I buy these 60gram 5" mortars for the holidays. They come with fiberglass mortar tubes. The trouble is I'd like to fire these mortars higher. I'd like to get them twice as high, if possible, but...

Hey Lathesmith, could you make me a sizing die please? I sent you a PM.
TIA.

The shallow hp was not designed to do much more than open up to caliber diameter, ehich it looks like yours did. If you want more then that try a soft nose/hard base. Use a small scoop of pure lead...

I've said my son won't fully appreciate this rifle till he's ready to teach his own children. Then. And that's the point, that the rifle is a symbol of a father's love and lessons that are to be...

Thanks for the kind words guys. I hope I live long enough and in good health enough to see my grandkids, or even great-grandkids learn to shoot with it. That would be an excellent treat.
As you...

My 8yo son's birthday present and his first gun (bottom, top one is mine.) I cut down a Ruger American Rimfire Talo edition 22lr to youth size. The barrel is 16.25" and threaded with a seamless...

Hard to say. It might be that the molds are done but he's waiting on the pins. That's my first guess. Miha's schedule is his own.

Not at this time. I will post a rerun for the 170/150gr version once we get this group buy a little further along.

The 190g works very well in the 40sw.
It was the original design inspired by the 180g 40sw gold dot. The heavier and lighter versions were adapted from the 190g. Dimensionally, there are...

I just received confirmation from Miha on price.
€135 - 15% discount = €114.75
That's ≈ US$140 give or take exchange rate variance.

It looks like brass 4cav hp molds from Miha are going for €135 (US$166). I'm not sure whether Miha will apply the discount he ran.
Forum: Group Buy Archives
I can't make any promises but based on my past experience honchoing for Miha, you've got plenty of time. No payments are made till molds are ready to ship.

I moved the images and updated the op. Can you guys see them ok now?

Hmmph. Anyone know of a good free image hosting site? Looks like photobucket has gone as far as it will for me.
Looks like Miha's brass four cavity hollow point molds are running €135, but don't...

As best I recall, 1.260 was really borderline in glock mags but 1.250 was reliable. I chose the .300" meplate because it was the widest a glock mag could handle at SAAMI cartridge length. 1.260"...
