Sounds like the parts tumbler we use at work to deburr small machined parts. From what I know, they are expensive and loud. You should be able to do loads of brass at a time. If you do go walnut,...

I assume you use 22lr jackets with these dies? How much is a set of these dies?
Matt
Ahh I see what you are saying now. If nothing else it will at least look pretty sweet. With boolits being a homogeneous material rather than a copper jacketed material, I don't know how much it...
Post a picture of these sharks toothed boolits? I am sure you have made a post about it, I just haven't come across it.

There is a scrap yard in my hometown that would sell you anything he had on the lot. They have a bunch of lead, but it is soft stuff for $1/lb. I don't need soft stuff and can't make a profit on...
With the home shot making method of rolling lead drips down a ramp, it is impossible to make anything larger. Basically it is a battle between the surface tension of the lead to pull it into a...

I just got one for my dad for Christmas. It was the 10/22 Rimfire Ross thumbhole. I was very impressed with the $99 price tag. They do very nice work. I am going to get the 10/22 tacticool stock...

Yes, very interested in what lathe and mill you have.

airborne,
I was thinking the same thing when I saw this post. I have read stories about some women that just are down right scared and stubborn about larger, harder to handle cartriges for self...
Yeah the Rino is by far much uglier. Then again beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The Rino is the biggest leap in revolver design in a long time. And I hear they are pretty accurate.

Very nice. Looks just like the one my dad got a couple of years back. No snow blower or three point back hoe, but boy that loader sure comes in handy. We use that thing all the time.

What size is the compressor? Are you wanting to just use the motor for the lathe? If you want to sell the rest let me know.
BTW, I am in Illinois as well. Down by St. Louis.

i bought a couple of candle holders that I thought were pewter one time. Took forever to melt and would do nothing but float on my melt. The best I could figure was they were zinc or something. ...

Seems to me like a good way to piss off a wild hog. I would only take a shot at a hog with a rimfire as a last resort to defend myself. Never have hunted them myself, just doesn't seem like a good...

the marks are awesome pistols. with a couple extra clips and a speedloader, you can go through a brick of ammo in down right hurry, and it is very fun. it sucks for your revolver but it sounds like...

Sounds like it had super high Tin content. Very good composition when alloyed correctly. I would not throw it out at all. Just my 2 cents.

This maybe a pipe dream I have, but I would like to put a rifled sleeve in my 410 survival rifle. Anyone ever done this? I was thinking about taking a rod of aluminum and turning it to fit the...
Super fine abrasive of some sort. The edge will be super brittle so super light pressure would be my advice. good luck and let us know how it turns out.
Matt
search ballistic products or homemade roll crimp tool. If you can't find it, I am sure someone will be along shortly with the pictures.
BTW, great job on the slug, now that you've shown this, you...
