Well< I finished my run of 1,000 RCBS 38-150 KT (SWC) the other day, sized and lubed. Loaded 500 this evening.

Dale & Fecmech, Thanks for the explanation.
I have a Ransom rest, but haven't run the cast WC from it, all of my testing has been by hand at the 50 yard line as a rough gauge. I have built ammo...
Dale,
I too have a 4 cav, 6 cav and 10 cav H&G #50 and prefer the 4 cav. The 6 cav throws a lot of bullets but gets heavy and blasts through a 10# pot pretty quick. The 10 cav, if I had a big...
Whoa, that was easy. Just a few quick licks with a good file and the mold halves came together! After the first couple licks, I could see the edges of the jaws were higher than the middle and I...
Thanks, I can do that. Should I run the stone along the full length of the arm or just from the mid-point out?
All,
I snagged a single cavity Lyman 356402 conical 9mm mold off fleabay some time ago. It was a mold only, with an aluminum sleeve to keep the halves together in storage (and stamped with the...

That sounds like full price +.
Got mine brand new, with dies and extra primer tubes for $650ish (no case feeder).

Since I got back from the NPSC I knew I needed to get started dropping some 158 grain SWC (I've started using my load for some competition). I began last weekend but could only devote about an hour...

As others have said, not a problem. The Sheriff is very pro-gun and shooting and in fact shoots Cowboy Action. He also has a reloading press and he and I have talked several times about the shooting...

Since it appears you are looking to use these in a revolver why not try the .45 Auto Rim. The AR allows the use of these cases in a revolver without the need for moon clips. While I have not used any...

Also in Temecula, up on the north end of town (about 1.5 miles from the south end) is Faith Armory. Kind of off the beaten path. The folks there have been pretty good to me.
They have a website -...

The two on the far right are close to how I seat my H&G #50 wadcutters, maybe closer to splitting the difference. For those solid base WC I'll use 2.5 or 2.6 grain of Bullseye and get 750 FPS from my...

Wow, that puts a twist on things. If they're limiting sales to 100 they can keep all of their primers because normal folks ain't paying hazmat fees on that small a purchase. That is really milking it...
Forum: Our Town
Ed,
When you're buying "hazmat" material, you've got to buy in bulk. If you were buying 1,000, 5,000 primers, or more you would still have to pay the $20 hazmat fee. Only difference is it is...

Thanks sqlbullet. That is probably what this stuff is. Wierd stuff, rubbery but heavy which is why I though it was infused with lead. It probably smells to high heaven if you tried to smelt it. Glad...

I have kept the stick-ons with the foam double sided tape. The stuff I'm asking about is a foam material, maybe a 1/4" thick, soft and squishy but heavy like lead.

I was sorting through the buckets of wheel weights I have on hand today. Trying to organize a little bit since I had multiple buckets of weights everywhere it seemed. In the course of doing this I...

Last night, as I played catch-up reading due to be prolonged absence (thats to work) I stumbled on this thread.
I had been meanng to get the thermometer for the longest time, but never did. As...

A friend gave me an old HG #50 6 cavity. I used it today and threw boolits for an hour. My pot is reheating right now since my wrists have recovered, I'll throw another hours worth before hitting the...

Thanks Beekeeper. I'll try to swing by Saturday and check it out.
Forum: Our Town
Beekeeper...I'm at a loss here, not something I would have ever expected from those guys. I will state that they have taken on a few new hands since my last trip in, probably due to the onslaught of...
Forum: Our Town
Beekeeper,
It almost sounds like you are describing a gunshop in Fallbrook. Have you tried the folks at The Shootist in Murrieta? They actually like talking to people there and most of the guys...

Prior to dry storage in my garage, the WW were stored dry in the Riverside County maintenance garage. Most of the time we have low humidity and warm dry weather, but the last few nights have been...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thanks for the possible causes folks. Temps here were hovering about 40 degrees, inside the garage with the door open it was probably, oh 40 degrees. That, coupled with the elevated humidity from the...
