I hated to be the bearer of bad news, but I thought that maybe someone out there would be able to spread the word about the lathe.

Hi Wayne,

I started out with a ladle and dipper when I was a kid, back in the fifties. Then, someone gave me a little Lyman bottom pour furnace. I haven't looked back since. I have used the...

How do the boolits cast from it shoot? Thats the acid test.

The original Smith 640 in 38 Spl was a dandy little revolver. In a fit of stupidity I sold mine to finance some other long forgotten project. Later I had a M442, which was also a fine little...

Thank you Sir! I appreciate the information. I'll see if I have any of that in my locker. Heck, I've still got H4831 from the fifties so if I ever had any 2200 I probably still do. I've been...

Hi DownunderHunter,

You can get about any attachment you want for the South Bend for collets, taper attachments, and such. It has a 1 5/8" spindle bore. The old Colchester had a 1 13/16" hole...

Hey von Trollwhack, What are you using for a load with the GB boolit?

loose hold.

1/4x25 on the 03, can't recall if the Krag is the same or not right now.

I lubed/sized my rifle boolits and then stored them in the plastic flip top pistol cartridge boxes. The 9mm and 38/357 size worked great for everything in the 6.5mm to 35 cal range. The 44 mag size...

I am not a great lever gun fancier but I have to go with StarMetal on this one. After seeing the pix of that blown up Marlin there ain't much metal where it needs a lot of metal. I see lots of...

Ditto what 44man said. I would never go to the range with that man. I have some relatives like that and know exactly what you go through. I haven't seen them in years. By my choice.

I hear ya, but its the idea of the thing sinking, and if you survive that there are the sharks. Remember the Indianapolis? (:>)

Hi Old Ironsights,

Don't forget, once you're in the military and if the need arises you'll be what they tell you to be. At least that's the way it used to be. I have no idea what the military is...

1Shirt,

Great post!

Phil

Just to emphasize the difference, I was drafted in 1964. I was in the Army for two years active service, two years ready reserve, and two years inactive reserve. In my two years active service, I...

I remember that incident. The actors/actresses were goofing around during a break and the guy put a revolver loaded with blanks to his head and pulled the trigger. DOA.

Leave blank powder in...

Don't have the sprue plate screw too tight do you? You want the sprue plate to close on its own when you tip the mold. Big +1 on the Bullshop Sprue Plate Lube too. You'll wonder how you ever got...

I finally got all the waxy preservative off my lathe, bought a can of Fluid Film and sprayed it on a rag. Wiped the shiney bits down and I don't have to worry about rust. Pretty slick.
