Oh, thanks, Chill Wills! And everyone else as well.
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Oh cool, thanks!
Though this still only gets the mouth opened up. The body still has to expand considerably, which is the problem I'm having.
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
It could be that I am just not understanding exactly how people are expanding necks with mandrels. MostlyLeverGuns, you mention the Lee EZ X expander. I see it on their website, and they make it...

What happens when you send a very undersized bullet down a bore? I'm not talking about accuracy, I'm talking about what happens in the barrel? Could I use, say, a 38 cal bullet to fireform 348...

Thanks, all. It's a Lyman 457483 for sixty five bucks. No handles. Though I just realized that gas checks are not allowed in BPCR Silhouette, which is what I am pursuing. If anyone's interested...

Hi all. Does this look like it'll clean up or should I steer clear?

Potentially dumb question, but you mean the "milsurps" site?

Can anyone recommend a gunsmith to mod a 1903 for mounting the 8x Malcolm scope? I hear the CMP is backlogged.

Thank you! The Arsenal bullet is actually only .60".

Thanks, everyone! As for brass, I'm using new Starline.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thank you for the advice. It's an M&P (not 2.0). I am hunting out west and it's meant as a bear/cougar defense. I know ppl argue all day about what's the appropriate caliber for that. I am not...

I bet the Lee site just didn't work right when it showed me .410 for the sizer. I do have the bullet seated deeply enough to get the COAL right.
After letting the slide slam home a couple of...

I apologize if this is covered somewhere (I'm sure that's a common way to start a thread), but my search for 40 S&W pulled up zero results. Seems unlikely, but ok.
I cast some hard 200 gr bullets...

Don't think so. It barely contacts it.
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
I'm pretty new to the fire-forming-semi-obsolete-cases world, so forgive my ignorance. Is there a reason why not just blowing it out with an actual load isn't perfectly good? Honest question.

Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Just did 2 more from fresh cases. Put about 1/8" of tape next to the rim to fill out the space in the chamber. Upped the powder half a grain, pre-trimmed the case. Fired exactly vertical. Got the...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Thanks. If I end up going this route, what rating of bolts did you use? I'm still a bit hazy on how to identify strength vs hardness. From what I can tell, a grade 8 bolt has high tensile strength...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
I do not. What's the potential problem with just firing it with a charge of BP and a bullet? Is the idea that the case wall is now too thin somewhere and could blow out? If so, what part is...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Oil it with... gun oil? Motor oil? Gear oil? What's the theory there?
