Found it.

If this works it would really make it more convenient.

Thanks for the tip.

I'm not too familiar with the other brands. What type should I avoid, or should I just buy the cheapest thing I can find?

I have a few Vaqueros along with a Blackhawk and Redhawk. They are great for strength but mine aren't very authentic. They are also a bit more of a hassle to take down all the way. When I shoot BP...

Before I got into casting I purchased and shot a lot from this company.

That depends if you're enjoying yourself or not. There's really not much money saved from casting boolits, but I enjoy it so I do it.

Making caps using little tiny scoops and trying to get powder...

Pietta makes a 36 cal Remington. I have one and it's great. Lots of room for powder in the chambers. Stuffed with 777 and a round ball I get over 1200fps.

Recently I've been heavily interested in Cap and Ball revolvers, but they have their limitations. It would be nice to have a dedicated black powder cartridge gun so I started looking at Colts and...

Really? Where?

Golden powder doesn't need a binder. It will get hard as a rock once the water cooks out.

For BP I add it to the jar after the mill time is over and mill for an additional 10-30 minutes. Just to...

I wouldn't try to talk anyone out of a flintlock, but 209 primers are easy to find still. Inlines are easy to clean and shoot. It goes bang every time and without any delay. A CVA Wolf will run you...

I've tried all kind of binders, including home made starch. SGRS is by far the best. I use 3% and my screened powder is rock hard....

I went through my old invoices and it's actually October Country that sells it.

This is what you need. Once you...

We are all prone to distractions but we can try to mitigate the damage.

I charge all my cases with a Lee Auto Disk. Once it's set it should always throw the same charge.

I also like to make...

I finally decided it was time to try this thing out so I ordered last night.

I don't find decapping useful at all, unless you're trying to do neck sizing only. Why make a one step process into a...

I always bring a heavy duty all brass rod to the range. Track of the Wolf sells them. They work better than any light weight rod, will never split on you and you'll never not notice that it's in your...

I was looking at those. A .590 might be just the ticket.

I make my own caps too, but it takes me at least an hour to make 50. So even at this price that's like working for $7/hour. My time is worth more than that.

Time to break the piggy bank.

$38 for 250

A Pedersoli would be at least twice the price.

Yes, it's not working right now, but I've done some more modifications. Maybe a custom ball mould is needed. I haven't given up. I really just want...

If you just want waterproofing plastic vials work great. This method looks tedious. Maybe only worth if if you're looking for historical accuracy. Pyrodex does make premade pellets for handguns and...

The Star sizer is the best in the business. I'm very happy I have mine. It's built well so parts shouldn't be an issue. It does use some off the shelf rubber rings that I was able to buy on Amazon.

It sucks! [smilie=b:

I purchased a Military Heritage Indian Trade Gun, drilled the touch hole 1/16, added some flint and was off to the races.

I noticed the touch hole went into the breach plug...

I have some Cottenelle in the garage right now. I'm still undecided if I want to press or screen.

Back to making char. I found the lack of smoke to be a poor indicator. I always need to continue...

Cook time will depend on what you're cooking, how thick it is, how much moisture is in the wood, how much heat you're producing as well as many other factors.

What it boils down to is experience...

I use 40 S&W brass that has no other good use. I press in a few 36cal pure lead boolits so I have good weight and density. I do have some brass balls, but they are very expensive. The 40 brass is...
