    No, I have not tried that approach, but sounds easy enough - I have both DE and bait (just no flies right now).

    I might have missed it but didn't see where anyone mentioned plain old salt - not big rock salt but that coarse grind stuff that's about 1/32"-1/16" in size.

    FWIW, I have a 50 ton commercial press and can see no discernible difference between compressing pucks at 15 or 30 tons (so I never saw any sense going higher). I suspect anything above 9 or 10 tons...

    Pure lead shrinks more than alloys - which is why a moldmaker needs to know the intended alloy when a mold is ordered.

    I agree with you - he uses that 225 gr load on hogs and it’s a good killer, but cattle are much bigger.

    I'm very likely going to purchase a Ruger LC carbine - I like the look and the brand. Just saving up pennies at this point.

    Personally, I don’t use dividers - just make one puck at a time since it just doesn’t take that much time. But if I did, I would not want sheet metal or thin plastic, at least .060” thick and a...

    The easiest way to make puck dividers is to part off discs on a lathe from the right sized stock. If a lathe is not available, I might try cutting them out of substantial sheet metal with a hole saw...

    I always felt the Krag was one of the last military rifles that was designed to be fired from an upright position. The stock drop and balance are nigh on perfect for offhand work. The rifles which...
