I've owned two of the tang safety Ruger M77's , a 30-06 made in 1976 and a .264 Win Mag made in 1989 that I still own. The 30-06 was a consistent 1/2 MOA shooter with my 150 grain reloads, and the...

I see no one has answered, I would probably use 4140 or 4340 chome-moly steel. 8620 would be good also. I would not bother to heat treat a muzzle brake.

Larry and 5shot bring up excellent points, I cast at around 725-750 myself, I missed that in your post. 1% tin should fill out if you follow their advice. I count one one thousand, two one thousand ...

Not enough Tin. By Bumpo682's excel spreadsheet 3 parts pure lead to 1 part linotype yields an alloy that is 96% lead, 3% Antimony, and 1% tin. A one to one mix would yield classic hardball, 92%...

I sold scrap this week, prices were down about 10 to 25% on everything I sold except the scrap electronics, gold and silver seem to be holding about the same.
I'm using the Lee 145 SWC and love it, I wish they made it in a 6 cavity.

I removed a 6 oz WW from an intersection the other day, I caused a minor traffic jam since I stalled my engine pulling to a stop so fast and didn't push in the clutch soon enough! Luckily it was in...

When e-85 first started becoming available around here I looked at a conversion kit for my 92 Ford explorer. It cost 600 bucks at the time, at 50 cents lower a gallon, if I got equal mileage, it...

KyCaster has it right, go to a local office supply place, not Office Depot. I used to use one that looked like a mechanical pencil with a long eraser instead of lead for cleaning electrical contacts,...

If I want to keep the temp constant I have to turn down the thermostat as the lead level decreases, about like geargnasher. I finally built a PID so I didn't have to keep fiddling with the dial to...
The primers in my glubits loads for .45 ACP back out also, the cure is to drill out the flash hole and mark the brass so it doesn't get used for live rounds. The same fix will keep your wheelgun from...

You ever consider renting your wife out to us single lead scroungers? I'll give her a 25% profit!
Looks good, is this 10mm a single shot like a T/C or an autoloader? OR maybe the Elusive 610 S&W?

The purple in your first blue job came from using 4140HT, it's famous for turning purple, look at some old Ruger M77 receivers and you will see what I mean. And Wow, I am a machinist and I couldn't...
NOE is out of the H&G #34 I already checked. You can order a H&G #34 or 68 or whatever was in the H&G catalog from Ballisti-Cast now, all the way up to 10 cavity molds!
