Mine mostly gets 158gr SWCs. I've been powder coating mine for years now. It does feel a bit like a pellet gun with 6 grains of Unique behind it. That 20" octagon really has some weight to it. I...

Verticalscope acquired my beloved motorcycle forum many years ago, along with many others. They were absolutely the death of gixxer.com.

Normally I have to escort the fireworks barge on the 4th, but that's been cancelled. And the beach is closed so I won't be playing Baywatch either.
I still have to work a 12 hour day. I'd like...

It's hard to go wrong with any of the decent models of the "orange" saws.
I look at what the pros around me use. They're mostly Echo or Stihl, with a few on Husqvarna.
I got tired of...

I'm thinking it may matter if you're using a bottom pour pot or not.
I fill the cavity furthest from me first, and keep the pour going until the cavity nearest me is filled. That's "pushing" the...

I saw some references to that. I have a couple worm weights that are tiny, but I mostly fish salt water, and it's rare that I use a sinker under an ounce.
A friend of mine sells sinkers that...

I tried to look it up, but I couldn't find anything on any bans.
I live in FL, and drift nets have been banned for a long time. Given the destruction they were doing, I have to admit that I'm...

I've had one about a month now. It's great for decapping, bullet sizing, and push thru sizing.
An automated feeder would really be amazing.
I also tried reloading some 10mm with it as a...

This 2020 gender fluid thing has gone too danged far LOL

Your best bet would be friends nearby. Or maybe rent a warehouse space if it's got power. Some of my first casting sessions were in a rented unit that my brother was using as a motorcycle shop.

I'm still working at least 40 hours a week. I fear that may go up as more of our guys have to be quarantined. If I wind up in quarantine, I have a whole ton of cleaning and organizing to do in my...

2 very solid choices there.
I honestly can't decide which I like better in a 1911, the classic H&G 68, or the Mihec 200gr RNHP.

I think part of that is bleeding over from the instructors' backgrounds. Many instructors will revert back to their base in LE/Military, because most people haven't had many real defensive...

I put cast bullet 300blk hunting rounds on the back burner years ago. For paper punching, I was doing well with the Lee 155gr spire point (the one meant for 7.62x39.)
I tried using a softer alloy...

There's a professional one on the building I work out of to report back to the weather people. It seems to have given them plenty of trouble. I'm not sure if the make/model. Then again, maybe it's...

How far apart are they? I just set my brother's up using an HDMI cable to his TV so I could use it as a display.
Mine uses an old computer monitor as a screen, but I can also use a...

Looks good. Those SWCs are one of my favorites. I still tumble lube my wadcutters with 45-45-10.

I'm sure I have some things surplus that'd bring more joy to somebody else.
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
I'm thinking that you'd need to fire form and possibly even neck turn to make 350 Legend out of .223.
The idea of being able to form .223 brass and use .357 jacketed bullets was really...

How the heck do you make 7.62x39 out of .223?

Sounds to me like the check will be well in excess of the order amount, and he asks for a refund. Then when the check turns out to be bogus, you're left holding the bag for what you "refunded" to...

We dodged a huge bullet down our way. The Bahamas really got it bad. Local Coast Guard units are over there helping with rescue efforts. There's tons of local relief efforts underway. Hopefully...

Just taking a wild guess, I'm thinking old clip on weights might've been the original source. All sorts of stuff is out there. Many years ago, probably before I was born, lots of workers at the...

It's definitely possible with the correct hardware and software. I'm using a 6 year old laptop right now, and it doesn't have a built in optical drive. I bought an external when I bought the...
