I cut my own mold using the CBE design as my model. I cast a .472 bullet I size down to .470 which weighs 480 grains and the accuracy is great from the MKIV and MKII I've shot them in. Its also...

If you use pyrodex, be as diligent cleaning it as you would blackpowder, it is equally as corrosive. The difference is the residue is a base, not an acid like black powder. Hodgden has special...

The bore of the 577/450 Martini should slug at .468. Using a regular caliper, rotate the slug between the caliper jaws. Do to the Henry rifling, thats the only good way to mic it. I have 2...

I found this program through a google search rather than looking through the forum. I installed it and at first it didn't work. It didn't see a folder called "Test1" on my C drive so I created one...

The only way possible if have read is to use a 45 long colt sizing die. I believe if you are shooting a Brit martini with a larger bore you need a .480 ruger die., that might have been in this post...

My Gahendra slugs at .451, and my Nepal Francotte slugs at .457. The Gahendra shot great but the Nepal blacksmiths that made it had a overly large chamber reamer and the cases balloon up so much...

Don't even consider it until you make a chamber casting. The chamber dimensions are pretty standard on my 3 British Martinis, but on my Gahendra, the cases balloon up so bad I'm afraid to fire it...

Don't know if you guys have seen this, but heres a video on sizing cases from magtech brass.

Well I'm really new to casting and didn't was trying to cast with my lyman mag 20 furnace filled to the top with the temp knob on 750 or so. After the level of lead got down to the m3/4 mark or...

I buddy suggested I post this here since you guys would be interested. I wanted to make my own buckshot loads but when I priced buckshot, I thought it too expensive so I decided to come up with...

A buddy gave me about 50lbs of lead from a keel, it was in the form of shot that had been corroded together. I can tell you that this lead is harder than wheel weights, I'm not sure what it is...

Hmmm a slight coincidence, I do aircraft work as well for a major airline. I used to do a lot of sheet metal and other non-routine hangar maintenance, but now I'm working line maintenance. We...

Thats just beautiful, and here I thought I'd be the first to make a mold with lube grooves. Your mold looks more professional than mine, very nice. On my first mold, I cut another chamber last week...

I would love to see it, could you link to it? I've just look and can't find it, perhaps I'm overlooking it.
thanks

No Frank, I haven't done any extensive shooting yet, but I plan to. Last week I cast up 750 bullets with my new mold, and I sized 125 of them. This week I loaded 30 rnds. I'm expecting better...

I made a bullet mold for my Martini last year, and after posting the info. on another site, it was suggested to post it here.

I made a video of it in 5 parts, I'm ginsboy2003 on youtube, and have...

Yes, as stated there can be no way to attach a butt stock. Also with a pistol build, there is no US part requirement, so you can use the original pistol grip and other parts. If you use the...

I started out using screws, but thats actually harder than using rivets. Well if you can rivet I guess, as an aircraft mech. its easier than trying to hand tap a hole nice and straight. I use...

You don't need a permit or anything else. Your right about needing a US parts count but there has never been a requirement to get a permit to make an AK (we're talking semi only).

Per ATF...
