Coincidentally, yesterday was the first I had heard about Athlon.....from a 1000 yd training facility that praised them. Looked at 6mmbr/accurate shooters website for reviews. The high-end Athlon...

That sounds right. They may be able to crank one out, or have one in someone's garage.

There was an ad, and video, on this site for a production smelter for the hobbyist level. Had a spigot for filling molds. Price was very reasonable. The reactions from the readers was positive....

In your email main page, can you look for "sent" emails? If so, you can find the original email you sent the shop and get the email address.
Excellent suggestion. I have not been to their webpage for awhile, but the answer(s) could be their as well.

I had severe tennis elbow from blacksmithing 40 hrs/week. Doctors, pt, shots, everything with short term results.
What I finally discovered after a year of delays:
1. REST
2. Ice every day...

I agree with BrentD.....45-100 is not efficient and unnecessary recoil. If new at this, .45-70 should be max, even lighter may be preferred.
Great write up and good story. I have a lot of Green Dot and am looking for .480 Ruger recipes.

RCBS Collet Puller.
Easier to salvage both bullet and powder.

What are the dimensions of these blocks? Any of the suggestions (ie chainsaw) mentioned will work.
CRC brand is industry standard. Wallys has "original", with HV solvent, at great price. This is what I use on firearms as well (NO wood!!). They also have a green version for more money. I have not...
Has anyone tried the "pink" 9mm Para ammo that is downloaded for recoil reduction? I believe 100 gr. bullets at reasonable speeds. It should be about in the middle of .380 and 9mm for energy. I am...

I really enjoyed your write-up. The rifle looks like it would be a joy to own and shoot.
I purchased a small set of polishing stones from Brownell's. All the same finish, just different shapes. Kept all the angles the same and the surfaces polished quickly. Any burrs or wear spots were...

90 degree.
More pin-point control, less splash and no "drip" forming.
Waste and accidents go down, not out towards person.

If that is the case, you will be able to spin the lever with a gloved finger, or a hand held stick, without too much concern for heat.

Also my thoughts.
I could not tell if it lifted up or it threaded into the lower section.
I am sure it will work just fine. Screwing it down will make a positive seal. It is just a little...

Very cleaver design and excellent fabrication.
IF I interpret the valve correctly, the entire Inconel arm/screw assembly can be lifted out of the 1" sq. valve body. IF so, I suggest a hole drilled...
The "modularity " aspect of the Sig 320 makes it very economical to rehab the firearm from normal and accidental wear. The frame (plastic) is so well formed that it looks like metal. The grip fills...
