Sand or ground glass works pretty interchangeably. pumice would be abrasive as well but would be a lot lighter, I think, so I doubt it would work as well. Besides I can get sand really cheap and...

The strike anywhere match tips do real well but they are getting hard to find and are corrosive.

That might make them easy to find, I guess!

I'm thinking of getting a couple of those $100 nagant revolvers and loading those funny cases with gluelits.

Jim the link does not work any more. Do you have the photo essay saved somewhere, or is it gone forever?

I just re read this whole thread. I had forgotten that this forum was the place where I got some of my best ideas and inspiration! castboolits.gunloads.com ROCKS!

Pat, How did your dies come out? I have used strike anywhere matches to reload large pistol primers, but the forester tap o cap cups were to small (not deep enough) to get much of a bang out of. they...

If you just go back two pages, you can see the slugs I made by putting hot glue in 12 ga wads. Once you let them cool you can load them over powder.

Thanks for the input. Caution is a good thing!

I'm not sure I would waste a perfectly good store bought shell turning it into a glue slug, when you can do the same thing by reloading spent shells, but I guess you can use the shot for other...

I have done exactly that in my 1858. I percussion caps are not enough without adding some BP. the problem I had was when I shot my gluestick bollits would unseat a little and not let the cylinder...

I was thinking a while back, that glue round balls would be cool for my cap and ball guns!
Forum: Classics & Stickies
Yes, I have shot a couple. I did pry them out of the wad first, then put them back in. I made about 5 out of glue and made another 20 out of wax. You can't reuse the wax, but it is cheap, cheap,...

I have never heard of anyone trying that. It would cost a bit more, I think. Also you might play heck getting silicone caulk off your molds. I wouldn't be surprised if it would work great for my...

Here is a photo of I glue-slug I peeled out of the wad. It fits back in with no trouble.

I know this thread has been idle for a good peice of time but I got a bag of 12 ga wads for $3 and decided to try my hand at making glue slugs. I don't have a mold yet so I decided to try pumping the...

I think next time I go I'm going to take a small rake and a shovel and see how quickly I can get a bucket full. Then I can sit in the shade at home and pick out the pieces.
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
I can have a bunch as soon as I take the time to pick it all up. I have never seen anyone but me picking up lead there. It's just sort of time consuming picking it out of the dirt. I'm sort of fat...
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
I have been picking up lead under the plate targets every time I go to the range. There is a lot there I haven't picket up but it sort of takes a lot of time picking it up a chunk at a time. There is...
