Drill and tap through the upper ring of the casting for a set screw. File a ring around the retaining nut at the appropriate depth to help the set screw hold it in. Sacrifice your memories of the...

Ley metal pewter may contain up to 15% lead and was only used for items that wouldn’t contact food.
Set the mold on the rim of your pot when you plug it in. When the lead is to temperature, the mold will be too.

Lead was legally removed from American pewter in the 1960s. From English pewter in 1974. But that was only law. In practice, lead was removed from tableware in the 1800s.

To keep it basic… Any alloy that shoots well in 300 BLK will shoot well in .30/30 at equivalent velocities.

I set my mold on the pot rim when I first plug in the pot. It stays there pre warming until the lead is up to temperature. All my Lee pots need to be somewhere around 7 on the dial to maintain 750...

None of the yards around here will touch jackets. Check around before you put work into them.
Nothing wrong with buying a gimmick gun like the Judge for a toy as long as you understand what it is.

Is the gas port in the block aligned with the barrel? Gas key tight?

We first hired an accountant when we started renting my wife’s ancestral home. He charges us a fee per form every year and then "discounts” it. Last year’s filing was a touch over $300. In the 15 or...

My back yard is full of the dogs and cats we’ve had over the years. I long ago learned to dig before we go to the vet. It is easier without the tears. My condolences to you.

2 ounces of pewter into 20 pounds of lead would be near enough a 1% plus up.

My Father made his peace with God and knew he was headed to a better place. He did not welcome death, but he didn’t fear it either. That’s pretty much the way I’m living my life too. My girl is...
Range bags are generally over priced and they have the sort of configuration issues you mention. I use a 36 inch hockey equipment bag that I’ve had at least 30 years. Search for sports equipment...

I’m glad. I have used it a couple times now and it has been everything I hoped for.
It would be a lot cheaper too, unfortunately the availability of hickory nut ammunition is very dependent on location. [smilie=l:

At first glance I did too. Around here it would be a better choice. During the “summer of love” there were marches only a couple blocks from my house. My 9mm AR replaced the 12 bore bedside until the...
