One of the ranges I shoot on is a dedicated Cowboy Action range. Nothing but steel targets, No jacketed boolits allowed and mostly low velocity loads. Lots of nickel sized mushrooms laying about. Not...

A tablespoon of citric acid from a bee keepers store would likely put a shine on jackets, but I'd be leary of what's in the waste water and where to dispose of it. Maybe just let it evaporate off ...

I cast nothing but range scrap for a couple of decades, it was free. Probably, 70% cast and 22LR/30% jacketed. Most of the dust will flux back into the melt, some of it is dirt. All in all there was...

I am too.

He hasn't really said and has claimed he doesn't know what the parts they machine are for. He did say, one job was for the Navy. I've been shooting with him for the last couple of years...

A boolit clamped in vice grips does a good job of picking lead up off a hot mould.

I'm staying away from pewter, solely because I don't know what's in someone's home cast ingot. No interest in hunting for it either. Haven't been to a flea market nor garage sale in decades.

I fellow I've been shooting with is a Machinist. A while back he leaned I'm a Boolit Maker. Turns out he machines a lot of lead. A match made in heaven. LOL. Well almost, wish he also machined a lot...

Are you using a tablet?

Buffalo Arms sells it.

That works for the Mag 20 with a thermostatic control, the Mag 25 has a PID.

Gets expensive and takes some effort.

A bigger pot would be cheaper than a woodsplitter and eliminate most of the cutting.

Years ago, when I was primarily a Bullseye shooter, I gave my buddy more than little grief about him loading unsized, Lee tumble lubes boolits. I thought I was a much more sophisticated caster. He...

It's already in effect as of July 1st and gets even more oppressive next July.

Probably a long shot.......ask Redding?

Put a heavy garbage bag into a 5 gallon bucket. Pour the waste water into it. Let the water evaporate off, dispose of the bag.

Get a PID.

I've a Patriot Pistol with very brittle screws. The heads virtually shatter. I'd like to find originals, if possible. Particularly for the rear sight elevation screw.

Any source suggestions would...

Post your thoughts if you have one.

I don't know how many tens of thousand of 9 I've loaded with range pick up brass. Never had any chambering issues when I started 30 years ago. Not sure when I started having rounds stick in the...

If, very different twist rates means that one bullet becomes unstable and the other not, your theory doesn't hold true.

I would go for a higher BTU.

Some of the striker fired pistols like the Glock don't have fully "cocked" strikers when the gun is in battery. Pulling the trigger completes cocking the striker so to speak and then releases it....

Do those tools actually seat to different depths, or do they actually flatten or crush the primer uniformly?

It's really a case of it sounds worse than it is.

The benefit of PID is that the heater is cycled off before the set temp is reached. That way the residual heat in the system, after the heater...
