I have the same mold, and loaded round sticks out past the cylinder face of my sp101. Do you find this boolit is overly long or the crimp groove is abnormally far back, or did I just get a lemon?

I have had ok performance with the Harvester RCR (red crush rib) with 200g .452 swc. They are the only 451 cal sabot I am aware of.

I posted on this a few years ago, eagle rare I believe it was. I called them and they confirmed it was indeed tin.

My first thought was; if midway cant get it and these yahoos have it for cheap, something doesn't line up. Thanks for the input, I will try the swapping and selling maybe I can find someone local...

Interesting, I didn't even make it to the payment options before my scam detector started to twitch. Too bad, I would like to find some alliant steel. Stacked the other powders I use deep when they...

I have been looking for Alliant Steel powder for a few weeks now and cant seem to find it from any of the usual sources (midway brownells etc). What I am finding is a few sites that appear to have...

Not until I got it back to camp. I was hunting with 4 buddies who were all high fives and hell yeahs. One of them shot a 9 point that morning that was significantly bigger than my 8. Meat in camp...

Light pink blood and dropped at the shot tells me high lung/spine. If you have given her a few hours to die, go ahead and cut for sign, I bet she is not far from the last blood as long as she has...

I do love recovering the slug, but also like to have two holes for tracking purposes. Hard to have both I guess. This is the fourth Gould slug I have recovered from a deer, but the first one that...

I got my first cast boolit buck with the cousin to your 1895 last week! Mine is a GBL but otherwise identical, good trade!
I don't want to hijack the thread so I started a new one for pics of the...

1985 GBL JM marlin in 45-70. 330gr Gould over 49 grains of varget, alloy was 20-1. Shot was broadside at 40ish yards, recovered the slug against the far side hide. Awesome performance out from the...
Shot a large doe with a 45acp years ago, before I started casting, with a 200grain XTP @ 1000fps out of a series 70. Shot was about 25 yards, HP failed to open but shot placement was good. She went...

I have used a handful of broken crayons to reduce the oxides back in during smelting. Worked well, some definitely are not wax.

I got a keel a few years ago that was made of cast blocks all stacked together and pined with large stainless rods. Most of the blocks were regular brick and paver shapes and also nearly pure. But...

If you plan to take care of this problem yourself, then I would not report this to the authorities.

Definitely repair the old saw. If you buy a new saw to replace it you will be disappointed unless you go for the highest professional grade ($$$). The old saws were built well and meant to be...

Soaking a hide in ash lye is called bucking, it makes the hair slip easier and the grain easier to scrape off. The hide does need to be neutralized (returned to a ph of 7) with an acid (vinegar...

I PC my #4 buck because it has eliminated the pellet scrubbing off in the bore.
