I feel fortunate to have a Lee clone of the 311041 in 6 cavity.
I'm looking for a load with it for my 336 Marlin.

Did Smoke give a reason why he's not carrying Traffic Purple any longer?
Traffic purple and JD Green are the best powders for covering that I have found in Smokes line of powders.

I believe that a member here by the handle of " Ammohead" used to make a push through type.
Perhaps he still does!?

A piece of rough leather, like a work glove, will usually remove lead smears from a mould or sprue plate that is hot. As others have said, a minute amount of 2 stroke motor oil on the underside of...

I almost bought a couple of hundred cases that were supposedly. 250 Savage reformed from .270 Winchester. They were tried in my bolt action Savage MDL 16 and wouldn't fit. Upon measuring, we found...

When I lived in Pa. 50 years ago, the best gun shows were in Greensburg.
Do they still have them?

So it's a number 4x40tpi screw with the dimensions given?
Thanks for the info.
Where would be a good source for this screw?
Forum: Cast Boolits
If you'd powder coat those 311041's you wouldn't have to worry about a lube star. It would also enable you to use a real soft alloy that would be great for a game boolit!
Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
I need to know the screw size and thread type of the small screw on either side of the receiver that functions as a lock screw for the screw next to it.
Thanks--Shuz

I'm gonna try some Red Dot with the NOE 260 105. Groups have been less than stellar with Reloder 7 and this boolit.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Have you tried it at 100 yds?
How about 250 Savage or .25-06?
Forum: Cast Boolits
I use large pistol primers in place of large rifle primers in cast boolit loads.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Anybody have any experience with the NOE 260 105 in either the .250 Savage or the .25-06 that they would like to share?

How do you control the flow of alloy? I see no lever or handle!

To remove the lead from the underside of the sprue plate, I take a sheet of 400 grit sand paper and lay it across a piece of plate glass and sand away the bottom of the sprue plate until the lead is...

I DVR'd the whole thing, and was thus able to start watching the half time debacle and able to speed thru it! I thought the commercials were not as good as years past, but the game was good.

In my opinion, Bhn 18 is too hard for handgun alloy. I use Bhn 11 for all my .44 mag shooting. The most important thing is how does that boolit fit your model 69 throats. If they barely push thru...

I float a thin layer of new kitty litter (diatomaceous earth) on top of my alloy. This keeps air from oxidizing the alloy and also helps keep temperature of the alloy more constant. Since impurities...

Don't know what number I am, but been around since March 2005 thanks to Beagle.
The adhesive bandage tape that Doug Guy showed in his post works very well for me on any handgun that tends to wanna rap my knuckles!
