Just one for me and I wasn't even calling. Was taken with a boolit though, and my 2nd successful time out with cast. Will be going out again this weekend with my brother who's in from out of town,...

I thought about using the straw deal to hold the shot column, but you just confirmed my suspicions that it was more trouble for not alot of gain. I'm sure a small lead ball would do the trick, I'm...
I had the same itch, though I had no issues with the AR platform. So now I have an AR in 22 Reed Express. If you don't like the style I think RIA released a bolt action carbine in 22 TCM that...

I was going to go that route, as I've ordered directly from them before. But I got a few hundred rounds of factory ammo as part of the deal I got on the gun. So between that and the couple boxes I...

I'm not sure. But i don't believe that plastic would hold the shape of a check. Then again I'm no expert. But i also get my AL checks for about $20/1k, which is likely to make enough snake shot for...

goose- I would give the 327 brass a shot once you have some empty cases, you'll get just a tad more shot in there even with #9s. How'd the Bullseye do? I dont have any of that but I do have WST...

I just checked out Ballistic Product! Will be ordering some #11 shot as soon as its back in stock. Thanks for the tip.
On another note, my Pops had to take care of another rattler this past...

Goose- this gun has largely replaced 22lr, at least in this role for me. The 32sw longs are actually easier on the ears from a pistol (I got the 4 5/8" bbl), and has more punch to boot. I also got...

Sorry for the large image size. You can see one check lodged in there. The second pic...

I did make sure to put a nice tight crimp, otherwise the shot would shift and I could feel the top gc rattle a bit. I do want to try this again with some #12 shot though since the case is so small. ...

Hey everyone thanks for the comments and suggestions! I have seen the milk jug deal. Honestly just seemed like too much work. I understand I could fit a little more shot though. And yes, I proably...

I would use the capsules, and have for 44 cal. But they don't offer them in 32 cal...

I did size the checks to prevent any odd pressure issues, but I'll try it with the card anyways. It would let me stretch the checks a little further if nothing else

Thanks guys, I'll try that instead next time. I think I'd rater stick with the gas check on top the shot though, the rounds do too much rolling around in my pockets etc, and I don't want to mess...

Hi everyone,
I recently picked up a new single-seven in the .327 flavor. Easter weekend was going to be my first time really getting to put it through the paces. I was spending the weekend out at...

Glad to hear its working for you. I have them cast up but havent been able to coat my boolits yet for the 327. I kind of wish they were plain based instead of gc for this application. I intend to...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Thanks guys, I'll give it a shot and see how they do loaded at about 800fps to start. I really only need these at 32sw levels, so it sounds like the slightly thicker PC will hold up.
Smoke- I'll...

Hi there, this may have been covered before but I cant seem to find any threads answering my question. I just cast some lee 113gr "soup can" boolits that I want to try in my 327 Federal. The issue...
nice^^ :) I will email them, I just havent gotten around to snapping a picture. I already have the nicer replacement on the way, but I wouldn't mind having a spare one around for future oops...
Thanks guys! ya I've read most of the stickies at the top, but I definitely need to go back through the threads on performing some of these mods for the sprue plate screw. Mine seems to be on tight...
GP100- Funny thing is I was originally going to get the 20lb pot, but I was dumb(er) then and ran across this 10lb pot in a store thinking it was a good deal... I paid about as much as the 20lb goes...
I tried to cut the sprue as soon as the puddle "hazed over". I've seen people add the set screw, but I didn't feel that my sprue plate was coming loose. I did do some cleaning the day before, I used...
1Shirt- I did dip the very corner of the mold in just for a few secs, and that's probably why the first couple cavities were casting the best boolits. I don't have a hot plate yet but I do rest them...
Fred- Looks like the forum Member is actually Red River Rick, I just put in an order for a new cam lever, hopefully it doesn't take too long getting here from Canada... I'm ready for round two of...
Thanks guys I appreciate that input. Warming up the mold that way 2 at a time makes sense after the fact, but I wouldn't have thought of it. I think will just track down an upgraded handle from the...
