Why not just use a ‘washer style’ TC under the nut that screws onto the bottom pour spout on the inside between the inner and outer shells of the pot? By doing that, the only drilling would be on...

How much you want for shipping and handling?

You might want to look into granite sand or granite dust. It is something like sand, except the particles are sharp surfaced and tend to pack without moving much. It is sometimes used for walkways...

Yeah... you and me both. OTOH, I'm sure there is a purpose for them to exist... even if their purpose is for no other reason that to be an example to others of what failure is.

Bill,
Glad to see you finally got what you paid for. I know I'm going to jinx myself but so far I haven't been burned.... A couple of times things got a bit testy but everything has always...

Snuffy,

I like those photos of yours. I somehow misplaced the wood handle on my pot and was intending on cobbling together another handle anyway. I think I'm going to try the same thing you did....

Funny you should mention that about the pan. Yesterday I was shopping with the wife at a local Walmart and found a 9X13 cookie sheet for $.92 cents to set my Lee pot into. It is about 1/2 inch...

Hi Robert,

That is pretty much what I'm thinking also. The needle section could be truncated (bottom section of the rod) and would not need to extend very far past its interference. Now I'm...

YES!... I was hoping that is who you were talking about. I knew Mark back when he used to run IHMSA matches. (long time ago) I am now starting to load in bulk and in need of powder without wanting...

With all the talk about dripping pots and valves, it has gotten me to thinking about needle valves used in some of the old carburetors. The needle passed "thru" the orifice to form the seal. ...

Wow,

10 pages of complaints with the BBB. This coming weekend there is a hamfest out there I was considering going to... perhaps if I go to the fest I well swing by there to see if he has a...

Spfd,

By any chance are you talking about Woodshank down in Peru? I need powder... badly.

Back when we used to do valve jobs we had to make sure the valves and the valve seats were slightly different angles to make sure we got a good seal. If we lapped the seat and the valve to the same...

Hi,

If that PM was for me, it never came through.

johnson1942,

I would love to hear anything you have to say about paper patching. I have read just a little about it and it seems like an interesting alternative for someone who wants to keep...

If it were me, I'd believe the PID first. I suppose the easiest way to tell, is to take a reading of the temp of a known alloy and see what temp it slumps at.... then melts at. then you would know...

I have to admitt, the one time I really needed them, they came thru for me. I broke my powder scale. It was my fault when I let something standing up on end on my bench fall over on the scale and...

Hi Tim,

I can tell you what I did that seemed to work for me. I started out with a bunch of Lake City 7.62 brass that I deprimed, cleaned, sized, trimmed, and then deburred and contoured the...

Hi Duke,

Those look great. I would love to get into belt and holster making but don't have a clue where to start. What weight leather are you using in your belts?

I'm going to jump in for just a minute to weigh in here also. I don't own a judge because it just didn't make sense to me. At any normal defensive distance the 'spread' of a 410 is not that great....

Oh yeah,... I forgot about the swaging. I'm only set up to swage 7mm and .22. Now THAT can get expensive when you start buying dies for that.

I feel bad, I only have 6 and have been waiting for #7 from Miha for over a year now. I also dropped out of one buy when the honco did a bit of a switch. I will only buy one at a time, to try and...

Whether from confusion, problem with the powder drop, or from a mythical gremlin, that is the beauty of taking a final visual with them all side by side... problems or variances stand out. If...

Thanks for the feedback. My spotter/shooting partner uses(d) a progressive press... but after blowing up a .45 for the THIRD time, he asked to borrow my RC. He's not had a mishap since ...but I...

I have to admit, although I've used either my RC or my Bonanza, I've been looking at progressive presses recently. I almost bought one right before Christmas. I'm getting set up to do some major...
