So I took a bag full of these out to the old shooting spot- They shot perfectly! Even had that little "ThOOp" sound while ejecting a hull.
I shot them with my new 24" smoothbore mossberg barrel...

Hm. Thanks for all the replies- I think I'll tinker with some cardstock/cardboard to bring it up a bit, maybe get it to crimp properly without the "hole".
Thanks all

Hey guys,
I just set up my Mec 600 jr and it seems to be a great machine!
I cast a bunch of Slugs (Lee 1 oz) and made my first shell.
I'm reasonably certain I did everything correctly, I just...

Hey guys, happy new year :-)
I ran a quick Google search and found posts about this topic, and I'm reasonably certain there are even several threads here at home in CastBoolits forums...But, I...

Today, failure.
Loaded up 10 rounds, 9.5 grains this time. All misfed. Mis-ejected would probably be more accurate. Most of them are a failure to completely eject- the slide closes in on the...

- I made 5 and was just trying for function test- I just shot into a hillside/dirt pile, though yes, I'm curious to see what kinda accuracy it gets.
I really dig his videos :-p
Haha no...

I would guess it's just the fact that it's aged, but I'm no chemist. :-p
OP- Are you sure it's weaker or could you be tricking yourself?

I've heard that a few times before (That having air in the cartridge can/will likely be catastrophic) If/when I make a batch of BP cartridges, I'll do as you suggest.
I'm unclear on how you mean...

Yeah I've heard that BP/Substitutes can really chew into your gun if you don't clean it. Gave her a good bath. :-p Thanks ^^

I'm certain it's been done before, but for anyone curious:
After poking around online and mulling it over a while I decided to try a BP load for a semi auto (At least, a recoil operated pistol.)

45- Bravo: A kind offer, thank you. :-) I think I'll just stick with how I've got it right now- I Dremeled the top portion of where the loading lever is round, I'd say it fits...

Solution found! As Good Cheer suggested, a neodymium magnet works swimmingly. I think I'll grind a bit off of the top of the loading lever to account for the space the magnet takes up- The way...

Hey folks-
A year or two back I cut my 1851 Confederate Navy revolver from full-barreled to about the same length as the shorter barreled (I suppose some call it the "Sheriff" configuration.)

How fun- It's so odd to see what people look like after you've talked with them and have had only a rough guess.

Could be someone playing Rambo and just spitting out rounds as quickly as possible?

Reviving thread as I have a setup I feel might be useful to OP.
I'll set it up so I kind of make a rotation- I'll sit off-square (at an angle...maybe like 30 degrees off) from the melting pot so I...

If Canada bails us out on this one, I will never crack another Canadian joke (usually something about flapjacks and/or maple syrup) again. :-p

I'm hoping it means there's a point where demand drops off and there's a huge supply. Not like I could buy anything at the moment anyway so I've no choice but to wait. :-p
