my single seven had the same issue and a Belt Mountain pin fixed the problem. Kelye can be hard to get a hold of but if you print off the order form and send it with a Money order or check then you...

why not just find a used take off barrel instead of buying a new one? there are a bunch of them on ebay for around $150. most of them are post 64 though. not sure if that matters.

i'm still fairly new to casting and just about all of my experience has been with plain base molds. about a year or so back Todd Corder gave me one of his custom .32 cal molds that uses .30 cal gas...

Forum: Cast Boolits
i'll be 28 this month. been casting for a little over a year and been reloading since I was 14.
well I'm certainly no machinist but I figure that if you have a good drill press, set up nice and square with a brad point bit that you'd be able to drill a pretty straight hole though a boolit. and...
been looking through this thread and would really like to give this a try with a couple of molds!
I had an idea and was curious as to what others thought. rather than trying to find a bushing to...

looks like it might be the oven temp. cranked it all the way up and got some good bullets. thanks all!
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
well I water drop because I find it quicker/easier for me. I know that time in the oven softens the boolits.
I change the water out with fresh well water every time I cast.
there seems to be...

I don't believe so. they usually go from the mold to the water bucket, then onto some paper towels to dry and then into the tumbler for powder coating.
to be certain I could clean some uncoated...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
I shouldn't be able to scratch off the powder coat from a boolit with my finger nail right?
i'm using Smokes John Deere green in a case tumbler to coat the boolits. then it's on to the toaster...

thanks for the advice everyone. I thought it sounded like a good deal but figured it best to check with more knowledgeable people.
unfortunately for me I just found out the guy sold it to someone...

I possibly have a chance to get around #500 of lead sheeting that came from the walls of an X-Ray room for a little over $100 bucks. I know it's a stupid question but does it sound like a good buy? ...

for the pins I took a wore out 1/16" drill bit and heated it up with a torch till the steel softened. I then cut the new pins and put a slight bend in them so they'd stay nice and tight during...

I then squared the blade up with the base. and did a mock up. looking pretty good so far.

once I got that done it was time to make the sight blade. again I decided to use the railroad spike. after cutting it out on the bandsaw I thinned it down using the belt sander.

Forum: Special Projects
all throughout the making of the base and sight blade I was having to make adjustments in order to get it as close to perfect as possible. one of those adjustments was I ended up deepening the sight...
