Well, a year and another Bullseye season gone since I asked about accuracy of this gun, and I haven't seen one new Python in any of the Harry Reeves, Service Revolver or DR matches; the firing line...
Well every little bit helps. I lightly stoned the edges as well as the mating surfaces just to see if there were any high spots that were keeping the mould from closing and I guess I did improve...
Two bits of news. The bullets are perfectly round; at least as close as I can measure with a dial indicator on the nose with the base chucked and spinning in my lathe. So the mould is completely...
I’ll check roundness (mould not closing). Good tip.
I can't imagine even with the softest alloy (I'm using #2 BTW) that a .304 nose is going to go in a (likely) .301'ish barrel but I cast up some so may as well try. If anyone wants to send me $60 I...
I just bought an FN commercial sporter (98 pattern) and slugged the bore. I have the discontinued RCBS 82020 (180 SPGC) mould which has a long nose section that measures .304. My groove diameter is...
There’s a six inch version at my local GS. I’m going to ask the owner if, when he sells it, could he give the buyer the invitation from me that he can use my Ransom Rest to do some 50 yard work if he...

Thanks guys. I’ll take a good look at the Alpha air gun as well as the Crossman. Hopefully there is a way to add weight to get it up to typical Bullseye gun weight. These both look to be fairly...
Electrod47,
Is some of your text in your post supposed to be a link?
I’d like to watch that video.

That’s perfect. It seems as if the specific arm motions used when there is an electronic dispenser involved, will work well with a turret press also. You can move fairly quickly with a setup like...

These are both great ideas. Thanks guys.
Believe it or not there are still some BE shooters using the pencil drill who can wipe our eyes with their skills. BTW, if you stand so the muzzle settles an inch from the wall then the pencil goes...
They do what they are supposed to do. You can definitely use it to analyze your wobble. My issue, and the reason for selling it are twofold.
First, when you get to be able to use what your actual...

Is there a business/machinist out there who makes custom expander plugs? I need one that is considerably longer than standard for 38 special to expand for the full length of a full wadcutter. If I...

The free market doing what it does. Great news.

How fast can one expect to reload with an electric measure? I’ve no experience.
Is there any credible information out there regarding the new Python and it’s accuracy out at 50 yards out of a Ransom Rest? I recall an active pistolsmith who is purported to be popular if you want...

One of the best steels available; after all a file is nothing more than a bunch of tiny knife edges and it CUTS STEEL.
Forum: Custom Knife making
Way to hot hard; that’s why it is extremely popular for tools that heat up. The temperatures that you would need to achieve will not be easy with gas and not be cheap with coal. It is also a very...
Lloyd is right. Custom guns are always viewed through the owner’s rose-colored glasses. Bottom line is that nothing is worth a particular dollar value until it is sold. That’s what it ended up being...
Great information guys. Thanks very much. I had recently seen a Giles in a local GS with a tag marked 38 Super. The pistol is a Colt which was originally a Super but I think it might be a...
Slug your bore. Also see if the bullet will go in to the front of the cylinder up to its full diameter. Doug will get you the dimensions you need.
