I use a toaster oven with a makeshift heatshield door like Slughammer does with good results.

A set number of shots is a group, no? I'm confused.

Good deal, I didn't know there was a wish list. I like it even better that the wishers get notified when a GB is going down. I added my 3k (or 5k depending on the "unit")
thanks,

Can we include 375 checks in the lot? I'd like to have a few more thou. I need to check in more often, I'm afraid I'm gonna miss it.

Does anyone know of someone who makes reasonably priced custom top punches for a Saeco?
thanks,

Thought I'd update this. I cast some up this evening and the copper stuff does work, but convenience is not it's strong point. It needed to be reapplied to the locater buttons halfway through the...
I got some of this high temp stuff from work. It's copper based anti-seize and is rated for 1800*F. Anyone used anything like this for sprue cutter/locator button lube?

I have a Saeco Lubrisizer. I need a 378 die opened up to 380 and a new pin installed. I remember that someone here abouts offered that service but can't remember who. I may have slept since then....

The plate that comes with the normal cop armor isn't there to stop bullets, it's positioned so that the impact of a direct hit over the heart is spread out over a larger area. I think I recall that...

That 30/30 wouldn't have helped. Those bad guys in Hollywood weren't wearing soft armor (2A), they were outfitted with class 4 kevlar plate down to the knees. The only way to stop them short of AP...
I was just thinking that I would hone out (or rather have honed out) the sizing ring in my 357 crimp die so it didn't squeeze my already sized boolits down. I size to 358, and after crimping and...
Done... no crimp groove. Factory crimp die in the shopping cart.
thanks for the input,

I'm putting together a design for a 235gr, .378 GCFP mold from Dan, and the question of crimp grooves is running around my head. I just read in an article that the author never gets crimp grooves in...

I just bought 15 sticks of LAR's Red, should last me for a long long time. I use it for 45-70, 357 Maxi and will be using it for 375 Winnie when my barrel gets back from the smith. I like it and...

I realize I'm kinda butting in here, but it sounds like he wants to buy a mold. Oldfeller... do you have any objections to plugging your dims into Dan's design page and posting a screen capture or...

Nice job lapping. A hint for the impact slugs. Use a rod small enough to slide inside a 38 or 357 case. That will prevent the end of the steel rod from damaging the bore, and the rim on the case...

Thanks for all the input . I borrowed some manuals that I didn't have (Lee and the new Lyman #48) for some additional info. I think what I'll do is get some boolits from a buddy that has a 38-55 and...

This is an NEF Handi-Rifle break action single shot. I had a 24" 223 Ultra barrel fitted to it then sent the barrel out to Wayne York at Oregunsmithing for the rebore/rechamber.
As for the...

I was browsing my reloading manuals, and saw a 235 that barely reached 2000 with just one powder and 220gr that went 2200 with several, so using my keen sense of deductive reasoning :roll: , I...

I'm getting a 375 Winchester (24" barrel). Can someone with some load software tell me what the heaviest bullet is that I'll be able to get to 1900-2000fps at the muzzle.
