Agreed, I use Testor's modeling paint in the Day-glo colors orange, green, yellow, and bright white.

Thanks. Ive sent an inquiry in to Ruger to see what they say about the cylinder and possibly the barrel. I am trying to get info from the original owner but its a friend of a friend's (grand maybe)...

Here are some photos of the porting and crown. By the looks of the detail shots my camera took, I have some cleaning to do.

Ive been looking for more info on the SBH and current spec shows the 5.5" comes in fluted cylinder only. The one I have is smooth and the cylinder is marked with the frame serial number. The barrel...

but how smokin is the question.

I just picked up a 1975 Super BlackHawk 44Mag 5 1/2" ported barrel that was practically unfired and a safe queen and a 1975 Winchester 94 30-30 in the same...

I found that cheap aluminum muffin tins from Wal-Mart are the best. I put mine in the oven during a clean cycle and it oxidized them real well and nothing sticks to them. They cool real fast and...

Jim,

I just learned of your father's passing here at work at Intel. I don't check this forum very often.

My condolences to you and your family. I had the pleasure of meeting your parents...

Yes, the groups were all over the place. I shot factory 30-06 ammo for years as a teen and young adult before I began casting. I was lucky to hit a paper plate at 150 yards. Now I can generally...

The Lyman heater base is pre drilled for the Lyman, RCBS, and Star sizer. You can drill and tap any other holes you need as long as you stay clear of the element down the middle though.

You would be better off getting the 314299 Lyman mould for that barrel. I tried the 311 in my 1909 Mauser and it just didnt like it. Slugged the barrel and found I was at .314 and moved up to the...

Everyone is sick and either at home or in the hospital at Magma. I went by Friday and there was only 3 people at work and Sylvia was frantic. There were lots of sizers in different states of...

I was just over at Magma this weekend ordering a Master Caster. Its gonna be two weeks while they are waiting on heater blankets/elements for thier pots. Everyone is sick and in the hospital on top...

Alliant bought Hercules. They are the same.

The unit only comes with 1 pickup tube for each size, large or small. You have to buy the extras yourself. Either 4 packs or I think they have a 2+2 pack also.

I am also puzzled by what you mean...

New, yes. They do not use distributors. I am fortunate enough to live 10 miles from them. Always a hoot to stop and and talk to all the old timers in there.

Missouri Bullet Co. says to use a Sawzall with Destructor blade to cut them up. Thats what they use when they sell the 62lb pigs.

On a side note, I am 10 miles north of Casa Grande and I may have...

I just purchased my 550B a few weeks ago and I use AA 2230 for .223 and it throws 24gr +/-0.1 gr every pull. Most are 24 on the nose, though. I was amazed at how much better the powder funnel was...

After reading the history of Dillon Precision, this is almost the same thing.

The story is Mr. Dillon was given a Star/Magma Loader in a single caliber way back when and he asked them if they...

I will second the White Label Lube BAC for the 450. I have Carnauba red in my 4500 and Star with BAC in the 450 with no heater.

Here ya go! Only $310 and $46 for the opposing size primer conversion kit.

I havent decided which...

Matt,

I havent used it much yet, but its already awesome. 10 rounds spit out in a minute or so after I got it all set up. Just moved it to the new bench so it will be getting a workout soon. ...

Update after 2 Years. Got a Dillon 550B decked out with the goodies and lots of quickchanges. Havent decided if I'm getting another 550 for Large primers or lots more quickchanges and Primer Filler...

For my 147gr 9mm bevel base bullet, I had Buckshot make a new ejector rod for the sizer die that fit the boat tail. No more lube on the bases.

I have an 09 Argentine also chambered and stamped for 30-06 and it shoots ok with factory ammo. I tried lead 30cal bullets but after I slugged and got .313, I swapped to the Lyman 314299 200gr...

I also use 3.0gr of Bullseye on anything from 90 to 105gr. Its just easy for me to remember. It is within all published data I have seen and works well in the Bersa.
