May have a set here. Have to double check to see if my spare set is a + set or a - set.

Any salt brine or saline solution will work equally well.

I also have some once-fired 300 win mag brass. About 50 pieces, would like to trade for .357Max if you've got some. I'll get an accurate count and PM you tomorrow.

I'll take Item 2 please, Item 2: 500 Hornady 62gr FMJBT .224" Bullets

PM incoming.

I've had nothing but gold standard service from GPC over the years. I was super tempted by those model 10's but I've never barreled a revolver, and would want a 4 or 5" barrel anyway.

Now, some...

We used to use LPS2 for a liquid rust protectant, and LPS3 was a light spray wax film. There was another one we used but hated-left a heavy white film of wax that was very slick and damn dangerous...

As someone who works directly in manufacturing, in a large machine shop, we are doing zero work right now. There is no busy time, everything, all across the country, is dead. (we are 21 independent...

Anyone know if Arsenal is still delivering orders? I've tried to call to check status on the mold I ordered 3 weeks ago, but all three calls this week went to the answering machine. The payment...

Well, this took a minor setback. I got layed off work today.

Not a major issue on this front, but annoying. Heat treat will be a little slower because I only have the single furnace, so the draw...

It isn't far from it. By using the .221 dies, though, it has a 23* shoulder angle, and all I had to do was chop .110" off the bottom of the dies, and hone the base end of the die a bit to get it to...

One of the original cases-the first 10 were 50 thou shorter than the rest, due to forming issues. After adding in a .256 winchester die to the mix, the neck length increased. That's the Hornady...

Haven't even shot the first cartridge yet. I am taking the chamber reamer to work tomorrow to cut the flutes in.

55gr Hornady #2267B


16.5Gr N-120 , 100% density, 44,597 psi, 2655 fps-16" barrel

17.5gr N-120 , 106.8% density, 53,439 psi, 2794 fps-16" barrel 2910 fps 20" barrel

I do my heat treating, as it isn't cost effective to send out single pieces. I built my own furnace and also have the use of the ones at work, as long as I am not bringing a legal firearm in. The...

Getting started on building the rifle to match the cartridge I worked up with the help of a few internet friends.

Just put my order in for an Arsenal 4-hole 225-47 "Bowman" mold. Hope it does well in .22 hornet/.220 Meteorite!

Bought a lyman 45 on ebay, 50$. Was complete, no problem with the buy...but then the USPS left it out in the rain, crushed the box, ripped it open, and then left it behind the bushes at my house.

I just alloyed 0.5lbs with 4lbs of Monotype tonight, to get a 17.5% tin, 17.5% antimony alloy, that I can work down with soft lead to get 2%/2% for softnose bullets, or 5%/5% for Lyman #2. We use it...

Loaded 25 rounds in thrice-fired Fiocci cases. 13.2gr 2400, CCI 500 primers, COAL 1.588". Light crimp into the top groove, not even fully crimped, really.

Fired from a Taurus M66 6" barrel...

Yep. Just cast 80 last night, measured the result:

Alloy was 3 parts sheet lead, 1 part monotype, pencil hardness test showed B to smudge, and 2B would cut it, so 12-13BHN? Not knowing it, I bet I...

So I just picked up a 2-cavity Lyman 357446 with a handle for less than the cost of a used pair of handles, and immediately after I read up and saw where it is a hit-or-miss mold. I've still not cast...

Just measuring this. Have measured the same two barrels three times. Both barrels measure 1 in 12 twist!

Does anyone else who has one of these, have time to measure their twist rate?

I measured...

There's no chamber cut at all in any of mine, so I was considering a .356 Winchester-but without knowing the twist I'd probably be limited to lighter weight bullets. Better stick to the .357 Mag/Max....

I've got three of these, and two measure dead on the same for bore and groove diameter, and one measures slightly larger. Does anyone know the twist rate?

I have the .357 caliber, 20 7/8" length...

The barrel is a custom blank. 0.425 bore, 0.429 groove diameter. First thing I did when the blank got here was drive a soft lead slug.

I'm still working on the rifle-It'll be a while yet. First...
