Ruger barrels are no good, I bought a No. 1 some time ago and fired it at the range and the rifle walked right up the target. Of course revolvers are just close range guns anywhy so maybe it doesn't...
they said to call Midway, which is where I got it, Midway told me they could give me a credit if I returned the mold. I said no, its hard for me to go to the post office due to my bag leg. I guess I...
I just made about thirty of these for my Webley-Pryse revolver. I paid $100 for this mould and it is junk, the bullets are supposed to be .455, but they are.468 diameter. There is no way I can size...

Has anyone ever used one of these to cast bullets on? How much heat can you get out of an 1800 watt device? My wife wanted me to order one to try out, just a portable one. We have an electric range...
there is almost no difference between 30 mauser and the 7.62 x 25mm cartridge. The only difference is the loading. German handbooks state that 30 mauser can be used in the Tok. pistol safetly.
