I've been looking at the Air Venturi Avenger (wood stock) as well. Am hoping to find one under my Christmas tree this year to help tackle the squirrel, chipmunk and raccoon problem in our back yard....

When you see how much damage they do to farms/orchards as well as gardens/landscapes it is easy to view them like feral hogs which are "vermin" to be "controlled" (if not eradicated).

Many resin printers will give that level of results. That is why so many people printing miniatures use them over a FDM filament printer. They are making strides with both the resin (smell, mess,...

Like others I prefer to cast when its cooler (not frigid) outside so I can work with the garage door up and a fan at my back. Wearing a heavy leather apron, boots and gloves gets a might toasty for...

Besides the color when powder coating i believe it helps reduce the lead residue when handling them. I find stacking buckshot to maximize content/volume tends to be a bit more hands on than loading...

Add me to the list that tumbles buckshot in the HF rotary tumbler. Once tumbled to smooth over the sprue cut I clean them with acetone and then powder coat them - just like the "pretty colors" in...

For cast/coated/sized I put them in 1 qt (new) paint cans from HD. For empty brass I use the "Mainstays" brand containers from WallyWorld - they have 2 sizes and I also use the larger size for 12 &...

You might check for an airsoft laser pointer to give you a cheap/removable way and gerryrig it with a few zip ties :)

Rather than using shot have you considered using wax or hot-glue bullets? I've used the plastic ones in building-clearning training and they hurt like he** being shot with 'em (don't ask!) We used...

I bought a couple of 1/4" aluminum sheets online that will fit in my oven. I found with the heavier sheets loaded with bullets that it is more stable and less likely to tip every bullet over if I...

I have some suspect lead I was given a while ago and might give it a try since I have enough fishing sinkers made to last for my future great-grandkids :)

If you use a progressive press with a bullet feeder then traditional cast/lubed are a non-starter (unless you work inside a fridge with very hard/non-tacky lube).

Look at it this way, you may end up with lots of different color powders to "experiment" with and that upgraded oven for baking things :)

I use a 1/4" aluminum sheet which I find gives the loaded tray a good bit more stability and less likely to dump over .30cal or larger. Haven't cast 22 yet but its in the works!

One thing I've found is that heavier baking sheets (I use 1/4" aluminum plate covered in NSAF) makes the transfer into the oven a lot more stable than the lightweight backing trays that come with the...

I have several MiHec & other HP molds I use and one of the things I've noted (especially on the .30 cal) is that powder sometimes "clogs" up the cavity. Same with the HPWC which seems to be the...

When did MiHec have these slug molds? 2013ish? I'd love to get one of these in 20g and 12g (as if I don't have enough of his and NOE molds already).

what's that funny u-shaped blue boolit? a boomerang boolit ?

I'm a long time believer in "work smarter, not harder".

Some of my buddies USED to laugh when they saw how many loaded mags I brought to the range. Range time is too precious these days to...

Smelting pot or casting pot?

When I think of smelting its for melting larger batches of (dirty/greasey) lead or tweaking largers batches of a lead/linotype/tin/etc and then re-casting it into...

Truce with a treerat? Rather sell my soul to the devil!
The local urban treerat population raids (and sometimes destroys) my birdfeeders and seem to have developed a taste for the cayanne pepper...

From my days in the Corps...
He who laughs last usually has the most ammo....

I've only ever run out of ammo once while out hunting and I'd brought the 10-round mag for my 10/22 but (sheepish...

And if Gun Nut doesn't want it keep me in mind as well :)

If it fills the requirements for 'ya that yes, its worth the price. At $11 online or about $13 at the local gun shows its cheap enough to try out. I recently picked up 2 cans at the last gun show...
