What I'm wondering is what plumber would be surprised that a lead drain from 1920 would leak.

Its fun to get something old to work. Im going to guess the tap on the hinge bolt helps align the two mold halves so they can drop right out? I have one that requires attention to how it is closed or...

good luck with it

I have had good results with both. Lately i have preferred the normal lube groove style simply because it is the most versatile allowing for pc, tumble lubes or wax type lubes where the micro band...

if it is lead pipe or rings of lead from the joining of cast iron pipes then it is almost pure lead. Any place that has a wiped joint, that portion is 60-40 solder. I usually melt those separate to...

If you mean for sizing once you've pced just use it as is. No modification necessary.

Exactly my point. The sprue plate turns both ways. Why would changing the threads make any difference and what engineer does not know this? I like my Lee molds and dont even mind tightening the screw...

Yes, some genius at Lee thought that would help. Give that man a raise! What cracks me up is they are still making them that way. Do they not test things before putting them into full production?

oh and personally id shoot it first and see if the throats need to be opened up. U could slug the bore and see if the slug drops easily thru each chamber. That'd tell you if they are big enough. They...

my favorite plinker in 45 colt is the lee 452 200 over 8 grains of unique

I am guessing the air cannot get out of the mold. Some go as far as to file a small bevel on the top of the mold edges to allow air to escape (harmless if you are going to size them anyway). One...

Thanks will do. If it gets above 25 degrees here ill give that a try.

Awesome. Now anyone in the family can feel like a cowboy!

Buy one of each. Whichever you do not like send to me and i will dispose of it for you at no charge. You're welcome.

thanks for the encouragement. Im not giving up. Ill get it dialed in.

thanks so much guys I found an assortment of front sights with fiber optic beads for cheap im going to switch it out and take some factory ammo along for a base line. The video of how to determine...

my experience with that style of bullet is that i needed to size them to avoid leading. They chambered fine in my 44 mag vaquero unsized but leaded like crazy until i sized them so they fit with...

thanks for the idea leadman. ill give that a try. Those of you with the same rifle do you have the .462 tall front sight or a shorter one? My measurement is from the bottom of the dovetail to the top...

Those are great fun for just about anyone.

Those are fun but then again im a sucker for about any sa revolver. Does this one also come with the 22 mag cylinder?

I did a little looking my sight is .462 tall measured from the bottom of the dovetail to the top of the sight. I found one that is only .290 tall and i think for $8.00 it is definately worth trying.

I didnt bring along any factory ammo to compare but i think maybe i should. The front sight is 3/8" tall and the barrel is 20". I guess it is possible the front sight was replaced. When we got it the...

Yeah i was a bit dumbfounded myself. Perhaps some rifle powder is in order here to get things closer to where they should be. Ill measure the front sight also and see what I can come up with. My...

Thanks for the suggestions. I knew they wouldnt be like factory loads i just didnt think theyd be that far off. I think ill find a slower powder to experiment with.

not a typo fifteen yards and yes off a bench. started at 25 figured it was low brought it back and yep just hitting the bottom of the paper. This gun was given to my son by my father in law who...
