I've got the classic Black powder version... still in the box. But its a longer story than that. Had one before this and I did empty the black powder after use and still found it months later...

Tried to send a pm last week but don't see it in my sent mail file now so I failed evidently.
Wondered if you every considered making expanders similar to the RCBS two=step Cowboy expanders. ...
Thank You both for the replies. This is press-mounted so the lubrisizor is gonna work for more sophisticated set-ups:-) But Tom's info is exactly what I was hoping for. I think it was Buckshot...
Did a few searches here but not finding any clues. Used to be a fella who made these but I think he retired. Hoping someone picked up where he left off. I have a 32-40 with a .318 groove...

EDG, me too; mine lasted... I'm thinking maybe 8 or 9 years now... so not bad and not complaining. Gonna try one more tumble with the added rubber band functioning a little like that flat band...

Should I say "I can empathize" or just "I resemble that remark".
Same here, but on startup I included notes on target performance and if I chronographed the particulars as well, and got pictures...

Old thread but helpful nonetheless. Mine just failed after three years and had a batch to tumble so I could get them in the mail. Belt didn't break, just got so stretched it wouldn't grab. I...

Thanks Gopher Slayer. Got some empty 4759 plastic I pounders I’ll make use of. No rust spotted yet but no sense waiting. Any idea of date on this can?
Forum: Vintage Powder Cans / Tins
Don’t know how old this is but it still contains about 3 pounds. Might have to compare loads when I finally get into it. Still have about 17 lbs in newer plastic IMR plastic bottles. Wonder...
Yodogsandman, thanks for the reply. Had not looked but just did. I created a detailed drawing that is a scaled down version of the 535gr version. I created it in Tom Myers TNT software. It...
Anyone among fellow mold enthusiasts who owns an Ideal 457132 in the 475gr?
I am looking to draw that bullet in TNT software. I've obtained a bullet from a generous caster that was of the larger...

Sorry, double post - love my iPhone and reception. Stevewhr not so much.
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Well Don, Kurt, thank you both. Got a couple stops as I make my way South that rule out Evanston. I picked up 10lbs of 1.5f at BACo this afternoon. I’ll order the 2f once I’m in Oklahoma. ...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Just called BACo for a price... looks comparable to Powderinc. I think I have enough 2f for development. Would have rather picked it up in person but guess I’ll learn to live with the hazmat...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Thanks Don. Where do you order your powder from?
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Well thanks again. Internet research is not nearly so fun when limited to an iPhone and poor reception - it’s what I got at the cabin though. I’ll be back in Oklahoma in a week but will have pass...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Thanks for the input Wayne. Seemed like most I’d read while getting acquainted with two 40s leaned toward 2f. Maybe that’s what I wanted to see.
I hadn’t been watching the 45/OE threads at...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Need some input. Been loading OE 1&1/2 in my 38-50 but had a good load of 2f for my 40-65 and about to pick up a 45-70 I’ll need to load for. I’d thought to start there with 2f.
I’m about...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
So Kurt... I'd be right in concluding from the pictures of the bases that the one without a wad had it's base abused more than the other three, correct? Sorry - just want to be certain you'd agree...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
I guess if that far left "base" image (is it marked #2) corresponds with the order in the photo below then that would answer the question. I was looking at numbers and mapping those but occurs to me...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Thanks Ray.
Kurt, that's interesting. More bump up the full length without the wad then? The right bullet doesn't look like there are any land imprints - is that just the way it's rotated?

Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
I may have missed it... did anyone answer the question about Wads at the Quigley? With BP we certainly we use them and there is no prohibition. For Smokeless they mention no over-powder wad. ...
