Congrats from North Eastern Indiana , home of KD9GEA.

Out- standing good customer service. They supplied me with cast boolit friendly expanders for my 30-06, 7.62 x 39 , and 303 Brit die sets.
Refreshing !

Model 43 was offered from 1958 to 1974 and was always built on the "J" frame although it was serial numbered along with the I frame guns.
It is quite collectable and would be a shame to holster it....

One number is the serial number the other is the build number. The serial number should be prominently stamped on the bottom of the grip. The build number will appear less prominent and can usually...

I have an extra pair that measures .310 thickness. 5/16 inch.

Yes I still have my 107B but have not used it lately. Recently picked up a custom matched pair of 503 in 8 cavity.

Try raising the melt temperature dramatically. I run around 850 degrees with Lyman #2 alloy or Lino. Delete the guide and build a slanted shelf out of wood higher in back than front. Preheat mould !...

Got the "bug" from my late father, aka Chromedome,...

The 1911 just feels right in my big hands. One range trip with a Glock always ends with a blister at the bottom of my trigger finger. My favorites list would be ; S&W N frame, S&W K frame, 1911,...

Yep that's the one.

My 2 cavity simply says 358- 166 swc. Label on my 6 cavity states 358-166 swc 90323. Both Lee . Neither one is a group buy.

Well, I am not a fan of full wad cutter boolits.
I find the Lee 166gr SWC to shoot extremely well at all distances and all velocities and with all revolvers in my collection. They make a shorter...

I remember the free beer and free beef. Great time to be had by all. Ooooh and the lovely pin setter ladies in the short shorts.

I found it near impossible to blow up a 3 inch 44 bulldog. Yes, I tried. I fed the first one a steady diet of plus P loads with jacketed and with cast bullets. It handled everything I put in it....

The extra 2 parts on the Gold Cup sear do wear out. I have replaced mine twice in the last 50,000 rounds. The parts look like a tiny coil spring and a stamped metal flipper. I would suggest...

I actually find it less tiring using 8 cavity. I normally run a pair of 8's . Work the first one while the other is setting up. Elevated flat surface used to scoot/ slide moulds around. Lead hammer...

I would take a good, hard look at the your new DSA when it arrives. The older ones were indeed forged billet steel , the current ones are not. But even a cast receiver can be serviceable when done...

I just remove the set screw and replace it with a short bolt with a jam nut. Never moves till you want it to.

The other percentage is 2.5% tin, 3% antimony , 2% nickel, 2.5 arsenic, and less than 1 % of a whole lot of other stuff. Less than .02 of zink.

I was gifted 4 pentagon shaped ingots of 45 percent Bismuth 26 percent lead totaling 7 1/2 pounds.
Any suggestions on how to mix to get WW alloy or #2 alloy?

And.......... if you take off the "screw on" crank handle you can power it with an electric drill.

You can set up the Forster to inside ream like that as it has a depth stop already on the cutter shaft.

I wondered the same thing, so I got a 35 cal reamer for my Forster trimmer and went to work.
It is MUCH easier to just shop around and purchase factory wadcutter brass.

I have a source for old lace... my ex... but it is now too contaminated to get close to.
