Interest in C@B revolvers started me on the road to casting bullets 50 years ago. It began with a 36 cal Navy arms "yank" and one of those repro brass conical and ball molds. As a kid, I was thrilled...

To be honest guys, i know absolutely nothing about wolfs. All my info was grabbed from the internet just moments before my first post on the thread.

As I pondered my poor choice of words in...

Unfortunately the current perception (not here at castboolits) but the country on the whole is that the wolf is more bark (or whatever sound they make) and less bite. That being said, a rancher who...

This thread alarmed me a bit. I Mean heck, who wants to be eaten by a wolf in the Washington state wilderness?
I wondered, is this a legit worry? An internet search says no. You are far more...

I also visited the mold guy at the Honolulu show, any mold you wanted for 25 bucks! Got an unused lyman 4 cavity 356402 with handles for 25 bucks. And 2 single cavity ideals, mold#358250 and a 323471...

Well thanks ofitg for the housecat decapitation video that generated a thousand post, internet battle among the viewers on youtube. Great way to clear the mind of any residual Christmas cheer.

Yeah, lots of stupid people out there. But times being what they are, we now have a new kind of stupid. That's the kind were the guy is stupid and also crazy. Might be something to think about before...

Well Abunaito, It does not look as if Dragon and Ghosthawk have much sympathy about the high cost of shipping to the islands. To be fair, they do have a point when it comes to the weather. I passed...

I have also noticed that Bent Ramrod is a very clever and entertaining writer. Thanks Bent Ramrod, great job on this thread!

From what i understand, scientist's have said that if aliens from outer space are anything like us, we don't want to meet them. The risk is great that we would be exploited and roughly treated by our...

Hi Abunaitoo. Yeah, I'm fairly familiar with the squatters. The Bliasdell center is on Ward which is between downtown and Waikiki. So kind of gets the overflow of homeless people from both places....

Hi Hickory, Saw your picture in the community album. If that pic is current, you are looking fit, healthy and happy. Which is great. A few months ago, just after your Hawaii trip, I remember you...

Yeah, gotta admit, I still look with disbelief when I see those federal automatch 325 rd boxes sitting on the shelf all day, everyday at Walmart. Not long ago I never expected to see that again.

Hi Bob, I also have a m1894 Winchester in 32 Winchester special. Mine was made in 1908 and has had the sights replaced. So I am also looking for the smokeless powder sight that is unique to the model...

I wasn't aware of the plane crashes, (haven't been in Honolulu for awhile). But heard about the fire in the giant (36 stories, 586 unit) Marco Polo building across the canal from Waikiki. 3 people...

198939 Ok, this is were I am at, my first experimental cartridges for a Mannlicher rifle. 7.62x54r brass went into 8x50r die easy, it didn't do much more than open them up to 8 m/m. loaded with 236...

I like it that the guys are concerned about Starmac and keep this thread current. As I remember it, He drives lumber trucks in Alaska. That, in my view, is an intense job and cause enough to be a...

Bought my 552 used, didn't have the deflector. I'm always amused to see it throw the empty cases 15 feet. actually like it that way.

I'm going to try the same thing. My rifle is an m1890 Mannlicher (looks like a 1886 Mannlicher but in 8x50r caliber). Got everything I need, enbloc clips, C-H dies, #13 rcbs shell holder, Ideal...

ok, looked at my guns. The square hammer nose does get very close to the sides of the nipple slot, even on an unfired gun. also have a much fired gun that looks like the original owner beveled the...

Michael, these early guns have an odd, flat hammer nose. could that be what you are seeing?

Wow, neat gun. looks like it might have some issues with the butt plate and the ears of the muzzle cap look to be cut off. Wood and metal are nice and the crest is intact and readable. which is good...

Small world. During the mid 1980's, I was at National gun sales, one of several shops on "gun shop row" on Parthenia st. in Northridge California. Was there to buy a m1896 Swedish Mauser for $69.95....

Yeah OS OK, I don't understand that either. My older Ideal 320378 and a 320366 both cast .324" or there about also. As does a later double cavity 323366. Odd that they would call it a 320 on the...

I like the ideal 320378, but have only really used it for mild loads out of m1888 commission rifles. I'm a little surprised that although available from the teens thru the 1970's as a standard in the...
