it's probably unobtanium at this point, but for a while you could buy hornady american gunner ammo for about 70 cents a round. these guys are the place to be for all grendel related things....

lead was often used to seal up the joints in cast iron drain lines. I threw a bunch out. lead is precious and all, but it was going to be way more work that in was worth to get it out. And it was...

I can live with 180grn max. I mean, 220 would be better, but the tin can won't know what hit it. And I'm not huning anything larger than a rabbit with subsonics.

I'm looking g at picking up a hunting rifle in 308. The gun I'm looking at has a 1:12 twist. I know i can make it shoot with 150-170s no problem, I'm already loading lead for 30 carb, 300aac and...

I went ahead and built on a palmetto Glock lower with a Midway 9mm buffer ~5oz a faxon 8" barrel and a regular carbine spring. It cycled great with my 4 grn of wsf and a Lee 125grn lrn bullet, but I...

well, right now I'm looking at a dedicated glock lower from new frontier (rebranded. probably runner runner or joebob), a spinta blem bolt, and trying my carbine spring and st-t2 buffer, with the...

Thanks for the info. I wanted to make sure I could use my ammo before I got too into the details of picking out specific parts.
Probably I should have started with deciding if I want Colt or Glock...

I am looking hard at converting an AR in 223 that I don't use into a 9mm carbine. If I can do it cheap enough.
Currently I load a 125grn lee rnfp made a wheel weights over 4grn of WSF. bullet is...

how much do you have to buy to get free shipping? when I put my 650 order in just now it was $17 bucks. Grafs wants $8. Dillon wanted 25.

there was a lee 130 grain 6 cavity mold group buy a few years back that I got in on. It was designed for the m1 carbine and works great in that capacity, but whenever I get around to picking up a...

really 390? I've been pretty unimpressed with my lefty 799 in 223. heavy bolt throw, mag follower hangs on the transition from box to receiver, extreme difficulty scoping (bolt handle clearance) bolt...

I've used as low as 3.3 and as high as 4.6 of w231 trying to chase away a leading problem. The gun cycled fine and recoiled less than factory ammo (no chrono with me that day) but I was unable to...

I'm using a lee 120grn mould I got a off a group buy here. (6 cavity woot!) I used 11.4grns of new production h110 for 1550fps until that ran out, and I just started testing loads with some really...
Forum: Cast Boolits
nope. just the 357 plug, and I only had limited success modding that. Does the 38sw plug require a mod or does it just drop right in?
also, I've never run a copper bullet through the gun, however...
Forum: Cast Boolits
ok, so to update, I took some of my .358 sized bullets (regular bullets, not tumble lube design), loaded them, pulled them and measured them with a micrometer. They measured .356-.357, but mostly...

I talked to lee today. They said the trough is the same as with the all black A. the new one has a gray arm that is is a little taller(elevated above the shell plate a bit). Apparently they had some...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
ok, gray arm is new. My latest is the all black, and I think it has an A on the bottom.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
how new is the new system? The last version I have is probably 8 months old, and I've still got issues with it. (small primer) I loosened the screw and added a little oil to the O-ring on the primer...

Did the factory finish hide much of the grain? Mine looks fairly straight grained, but it has some hints of vertical stripes, and I kind of want to know if they would pop out if I stripped and...
Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
Gunfreak, do you have a picture of the 452 stock before you stripped it? And what did you use for stripping?
Forum: Cast Boolits
nope. but I figure it is oversized because for a while I tried running my 9mm bullets through it (.357/.358) and they didn't shoot very well.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I've never run anything but cast through my early 80's 1894 in 357 with microgroove. It shoots fine for me. I put 10 rounds into a large ragged hole at 20 yds the other day. Actually leads less than...

HA! I came here today to ask a very similar question. Found the same press in the family barn last night and was going to ask if they were any good and if it was worth trying to revive. I asked my...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I don't. I bought the gun used and it came with a bunch of fire formed brass. I loaded them all once with the included rcbs dies, and when I've needed a couple more cases I've always just fired a 257...
