My nephew asked why I mess with the Marlin when there are so many aftermarket upgrades for the 10/22.
I told him the Marlin didn't need any
Forum: Rimfire Area
I have a 10/22 that I bought years ago, never fired a single shot from it. I always grab my Model 60.
That one looks just fine to me TBG

Cast some boolits from a new NOE 360-154 WFN to try in my Marlin. They finished out with gc and lube right at 159gr.
While the lead was melted figured I'd go ahead and cast some from my 358156 too....

The 256 Winchester will do work. This is from my carbine. They also say that you can't form nickel brass

I have that mold in single cavity. I can spend all day at it and not have to refill the pot. Cute little boogers.

I'm a little behind the curve on Hi Tek so this may have been discussed previously, can I mix the powders?
If I mix the k15 with some of the bronze I have, would it be similar to the Texas Tea?
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Thank you sir, k15 is what I'm looking for.
On the hi performance coating site if you click the yellow colored tab, it list it as gold 1035 in the cart but there is also a gray tab that shows the...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Thanks, I ordered the k15 but I have both it and 1035 in my cart currently and they both say they are black. There was a color that looked like a metallic black at one time but I don't see it now. ...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Can someone tell me the difference in k15 and 1035?
both say black

Got all set up to reload some 30 Carbine then went looking for the 200 pieces of brass I had prepped. Finally found it in the ammo can already loaded. I remember prepping and priming it, but I'll be...

Sized a small tub of 9mm.
Waiting on an M die to arrive. I pulled down a few loaded rounds and the brass is sizing down the base of the boolits.
Needing to coat more boolits with Hi Tech but it's...
Does anyone else want to just go hang out with Larry

I did a good bit of research and reading before I bought one. I was still a bit hesitant but once I held it all of that went away. It feels great and is easy to shoot. Very pleased with it.

I picked up a Steven's 555 O/U a while back and it has been fun to shoot. Real light weight and swings easy. I love my 16ga but found myself leaving it in the truck pretty often last dove season in...

Thanks for the help guys. Looks like I got it fixed. As tankgunner mentioned, I just cleaned it a few weeks ago, so the problem seemed strange.
I took it apart again and used a bronze bore brush to...
Forum: Casting Equipment
It's not dripping. It gets stuck wide open and drains the pot. Even tapping on the rod wouldn't shut it off or even slow it down.
Forum: Casting Equipment
Tried casting with a new mold yesterday. Everything was going fine then the spout started acting like it was getting clogged. It's happened before and I used a piece of a fish hook to clear it....
Forum: Cast Boolits
Arsenal has one that is very similar. I may have to go that route if I can't find the NEI

This is a 32cal from an NEI mold that I had at one point. This particular batch came out at 97gr.
It didn't do as well in my 32H&R as another and I sold it here in the classifieds. Come to...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Loaded about 200 30 Carbine and 100 357mag. Cast, PC'd and sized +/- 400 311359 to replenish stock. Next will be casting 358156's because I ran out of those.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Haha, dang it. I just finished pushing about 200 or so on some 311359's that were PC'd. My index finger and thumb are both sore. Pointed little buggers
Forum: Cast Boolits
Wet tumbled, dried, sized and primed 30 Carbine and 357mag brass. About a half gallon each.
PC'd my remaining 311359s and gc'd them. I need to cast some more, didn't realize I was almost out. My...
