I’m 52. I have been reloading since 15. Took a long break but got back in 12 years ago and have enjoyed casting bug for the last 8 years. Health holds me back but...still slugging along.

Here is what 84 lbs looks like. It is really not that impressive boxed up. At top speed I can coat and size about 10 lbs an hour.

For a friend of a friend I’m doing research on how to get a el cheapo brand of Can to cycle on a Canik. It is a TP9sfx. The can is available on FB so you know that there is no built in booster. ...

I have a custom barrel target rifle chambered in 225 Win and it is 1x14” twist just like it is recommended in other research I did. My research suggests projectiles in the 45-55 gr are best at that...

Yeah! How about that. I’m going to run the guts out of my Lee 4-20 with a Hatch PID since it’s working (I know because it drips ;-)) and paid for. Let someone else test out this pig in a poke pot. I...

Thanks

I’m curious if anyone has had success with a mold that can cast for 32WS as well as 8mm Mauser (different action types). If so please enlighten me. There are some older threads but they don’t really...

If I remember correctly it is a Douglas barrel with a 1 1/2” OD at the breech and 3/4” at the muzzle. 214160
That really helps about the sling and I appreciate the comments and pics.

It weighs about 14.5 pounds. It does NOT have a sling swivel on the buttstock. It only has them on the forestock and one possibly in front of the action on the bottom. Not the norm. Any ideas on...
