Since it looks like it takes an R8 collet, get some collet sets. Using end mills in a drill chuck will frustrate you to no end. My HF mill is an older version with MT2 taper, so I found a drawbar...

It's not a big deal but I'm having the same problem, I went to list a little extra brass this weekend and got the message that I don't have permission either.

I wouldn't feel comfortable carrying a gun that had issues. I carry a 'mil-spec' 1911 that's extremely reliable.
As mentioned I would replace or fix it if you intend to keep carrying it. Jams at...

With the price of ammo continuing to go up and the economy still going down, I bet alot more shooters start casting. It's one of the main reasons I got into it. It get's way too expensive to shoot...
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
Great info. I also have a FAL and was wondering if I could get it to cycle with lower velocity cast loads to keep the cost of feeding it down. Guess I have a new project now.

I remember hte double gun kits too. They used to advertize in shotgun news about 10 years ago but I can't recall the name either.

I watched a video awhile back of a guy using these glue bullets for training inside a building. Pretty funny but interesting from a saving money and lead point of view.

Prety good stuff in here. I'll have to hang onto the old golf balls I come across for handles on deburring tools. The small wood balls just dont do it plus I bet the dimples help with grip.

Back in the 90's I was in Montana for a weekend and the very small towns gunshop had a few crates of SKS's for $69 each out the door. I only bought two because "Hell these things are so cheap they'll...

I usually stash away $50-$100 at a time untill it builds up to whatever I'm planning to buy. Sometimes it takes a couple months, other times a bit longer.

That's a good idea, I have a pile of berdian south african I was thinking to reload but may cut up instead.

I started late in life having no faimly that hunts so I had to figure it out on my own, but I took one the first year I hunted them.

The texas pictures always make me sorta jealous. On one hand you have tons of bacon runing around for the taking, but the toll on the wildlife is pretty bad. We have some hogs here and I always see...

Head if I'm confident in the range/gun. Heart/front sholder if it's too far for a guarnateed head shot or I'm using a less accurate gun.
You don't see it talked about much but a sholder shot stops...

Is there a recommended grit size to finish with?

Tagged for later. This was exactly what I was planning for next deer season, using a cast bullet with a reduced load in 30-06. I love the gun it's just a bit overpowered for the 50-100 yard shots I...

Deffinetly gloves, and eye protection at a minimum. It only takes a second for a lifetime of regret when it comes to molten metal.

Nothing wrong with that. My collection is worth well over my cars value.

Usually a rifle, a 1911, 2-3 knives. Pack with gear to gut and drag a deer. Canteen of water and some packs of crackers.
Probally the only unusual thing I carry is a full size folding chair, the...

A kiln sounds like a good alternative to the oven, I may have to keep my eye out for a used one.

I generally don't beleive anything I see on 'reality' TV shows. THey like to fake things for drama to up the raitings.
Even if it was a 600+ yard shot it's just a bad idea to give people thinking...

My understanding is the rounds are the same, but the 5.56 chamber is 'looser' for reliable feeding/extraction on full-auto and sustained single shot fire. Brass condition dosen't matter to the...
