I picked up some powder and primers from my local guy this weekend. He said that stuff is slowly trickling back in. He is limiting primer quantity for now, but I agree and have no qualms with this...

I like things to be functional and pretty.

Do any of you know if there is a cover made specifically for the star? I size in an unfinished basement and have been having a lot of issues with grit falling onto my bench lately (even with plastic...
I recently purchased a Leupold Ventana 20-60 spotting scope. The tripod that it came with is total garbage; and that's putting it kindly. Anyhow, I'm looking for a tripod that is sturdy enough to...
I ended up calling Smith and Wesson today and was pleasantly surprised when they told me that they'd be sending one my way free of charge. Great company.
I finally acquired the 625 that I've been hunting down for several years...a 625-3 model of 1989 with a "BEN" serial number prefix (my son's name is Benjamin and it will be his some day). Anyhow, I...

Good casting advice buckshot. ....but now I need another die......

Thanks for the photo. I hope my wood comes out that nice. I'm going to change the ejector spring, cut the trigger spring and clean and lube things up a bit before doing any of Steve's extreme mods.

I kind of like the idea of having windage adjustment in the rear. Any of you go with the Marbles? I know it's a pretty penny, but I have a birthday coming up........

Somebody was gracious enough to lend me their DVD. Thanks!
Forum: Leverguns
Was it offensive to ask to borrow a DVD? Not my intentions. I've borrowed far more valuable things from fellow members and wouldn't hesitate to help somebody out if I could
Forum: Leverguns
does anybody happen to have Steve's DVD and be willing to lend it to me for a day? I'll pay shipping both ways and have it back within a week? I blew my wad on the rife and want to save some dough...

Thanks for all of your thoughts. I could not locate a case hardened version, so I bought a new Blued one on Gunsamerica today for $539. shipped. I'm going to order Steve's guns DVD & parts kit and...

Glad to hear it likes SWC's. I didn't want to have to buy another 38/357 mold. lol
Forum: Leverguns
I've heard about the roughness. Is there a recommended Smith that has good experience slicking them up? I'm not a huge fan of my local Smiths. They're the reason why I've been learning so much...

I'm in the market for a Rossi 92. Specifically a 24" octagonal case hardened 38/357. Does anybody have one? I'm wondering how the case hardened finish is in person. Also, how's the action on...

I typically empty the measure after each session , as I do keep all of my powders on the shelf next to my bench. What happened was I finished loading 9's with titegroup and then set up for 45 acp for...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I just don't feel comfortable loading it. Will probably hand it off to my wife for her roses.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I was thankful for that, but the thankfulness was quickly followed by anger. Lol

To add on to the venting theory, make sure the sprue plate isn't too tight. It should swing open under its own weight (when empty...of course).

Nothing quite brightens a day like dumping a half pound of Bullseye into a jug of Titegroup.........

Nice! Check out Harbor Freight again. They sell a nice big cast Dutch oven for around $25. I run around 80-100 pounds in mine. Great start to your setup though. Soon you'll have more stuff than you...

I'd skip the steel wool and go with a coarse bronze wool instead. It can be bought online or from a boating supply store. One bag will last a lifetime....and no shards like you get from cutting up...
