Thanks Wayne.
I've never been up close to one of these, so before I made my own I am checking to see if there is anything unique about an original handle and grip. I'm probably over-thinking...

I just bought a tru-line jr at auction last week. It has the newer linkage style and I'm real happy to have it. Paid 40 bucks with some odd caliber rifle dies I'll likely never use. The Lyman 55...

I just looked at satellite pics of Spy Island. Man, you are up there. I wish I had pushed further North when I was up that way forty (million) years ago........

Thank you Gary. It turns out we had one that was recalled, and one that wasn't. Thanks again for the heads up.

And boy do I like it. I have no experience to back up my opinion, but mechanically I think this thing is in pretty good shape.
Given some time and enough reading, I expect to put this mould to...

About 20 years ago I was at a week-long boy scout camp and took some scouts to the rifle range with a pocket full of quarters. The range boss mentioned that I should try shooting lefty and I argued...

Yeah, I sent the guy 85 bucks. We'll see how I did. Thank you though for all the wisdom. Umm....but no listing of Saeco numbers stashed away somewhere?

Well guys, my scale on the fly has always been a bag of sugar. I met the guy in a Burger King parking lot in Mackinaw City Michigan and brought home two bags of sugar for 35 bucks. I've been part...

I would not normally barge in like this without loads of research, but I have an opportunity and I need some help.....

Very Much Thank You All.
Instinctively, I knew it was ok to use. But I wanted some knowledge from the field.

Good Morning, I have been accumulating raw material toward someday casting projectiles, probably for handgun loading. I was in a second-hand store yesterday and brought home two "cornbread" molds...
My S&W Highway Patrolman. Two calibers right?
My Glock 23 with 9mm, .40 cal and 357Sig barrels. Three calibers right?
Two very reliable guns and FIVE caliber options.
Do I win?

Yeah, I'm learning that the material itself is absolutely worth having in my barn rather than his, but honestly I'm drooling over what the equipment might be. Just the sound of it lights me up. I...

Good Morning. First off, I don't cast boolits (yet). I am new to this aspect of shooting and reloading and I am reading and reading and reading some more. I have been collecting COWW and sorting...

I'm in the research phase of my first (real) post to this board. I don't know enough yet to please myself with the answer. I had a prof' a million years ago that would not even recognize an...
