I haven't researched dates, but wasn't 2400 powder made for the Hornet? Does the pull down powder look anything like that?

My go-to powder, though is the AA 1680/T-680. You must shoot a...

I would like the 380 round ball and the 454 round ball molds.

I'll shoot you a PM....

I don't remember which was first, but I bought Lyman molds for the .45 Colt and the .44 mag.... IIRC, the 44 mag was a 429421, and I'm pretty sure it was a single cavity.
We're talking about 52...

Henry firearms has a "suggestion" section in their "contact us" area. I just sent a suggestion that they make their Big Boy steel with the side loading gate in .41 mag..... They make it in .44,...

I also tried the non stick foil, and had less than stellar results. I tried oven parchment paper, and haven't had a bullet stick to it yet. It lasts usually at least 3 cycles before it gets sort of...

It probably happens more times than it should. I haven't had any issues to speak of, but I have heard others have....



I just bought a $10 oven thermometer at Wallyworld.... it seems to work...

I've never seen that much variation in bullets after sizing them... the only time I get variance is when the bullets are under sized for the sizer die.
The die should squeeze everything, PC and...

speaking of googly.... I did that, and found that Mythbusters has studied a lot of different calibers fired into water.... apparently the slower, fatter rounds penetrated best, but that 6 to 8 feet...

off topic.... I have a coffee mug that says "Alferd Packer, serving his fellow man..." :-D
For those that have never been to Lake City.... googly is your friend.... :mrgreen:

I wonder how far a rifle bullet, say, a .308 will travel through water. I've wondered a bunch of times about shooting at about 30 degrees into a swimming pool.... I just wouldn't want to blast a...

I don't know if rimfires count, but I broke down and got a Ruger birdshead Wrangler, as a little brother to my Single Six convertible....
I plan to shoot it for the first time today, or tomorrow,...

I used Lil Gun some in my K-Hornet. IIRC, 13.5 gr was lightly compressed.
I heard online (MUST be true, then) that some guys basically filled up the case and compressed a bullet into it. THEY...

That's one of the big selling points for LilGun.... top velocities, with considerably lower pressure.
In my gun, I didn't seem to get the consistency, shot to shot, that I got with 1680/680. It...

..... and.... loaded.

These are some light 38 bullets... I used Kubota orange, swirled and tumbled them for around a minute. Then dumped them into a wire basket, lightly bounced them to knock off any excess powder, then...

I have these two molds that I don't plan to use anymore.... both are in used but good condition.

I am asking $65 each, shipped in CONUS. I prefer a money order, to avoid PP as much as possible....

The Marlins all seem to start around $800 or so, and that's for the plain jane, run of the mill 336's.... the 1895's are way higher than that, usually $1500 and up.
Henry's are around $800-ish. ...

I have emails from a local online gun shop... don't know if I can mention them by name....
If you want a new Ruger made Marlin 1895 SBR, they have some.....

Oh, did I mention they are...

Those are just flawless.... very nice. I just don't have the space to set up a spray area, or I'd do it that way, as well.... I'm getting by with shake and bake, and/or tumble, pretty well.
...

I was also wondering how many 12V power pacs it took to run the hot plate..... sorry... couldn't help it...

Serious question.... I never thought about covering the hotplate with an enclosure......

Does it matter how many teeth the saw blade has? :razz::kidding:

I think one of the main purposes of the Henry Homesteader was to deliberately NOT be "tacti-cool". It was supposed to appeal to the "blued steel wood stock" folks. I'd love to have one, but the...

So, you are saying the powder is sticking to the leftover, dried lube?

Thanks for the link.....

Perhaps there have been new developments and techniques in the last 10 years...

Faster than SnB? How could it be any faster? It takes me about a minute to shake my bullets in a plastic tub.

Now, if I do them in a tumbler, that adds about 15 minutes to the process, but...
