Had the same thing done in 1993 and I'm still here if that helps. Prayers indeed.
Forum: Gas Checks
I use Gator checks only because they fit the tightest on all that I shoot. I get mine from Blammer on here.
Forum: Gas Checks
I use nothing but Gator checks now since I found out that they fit tight on all my revolver calibers, 357, 41, 44, and 458, 308 rifle. I sold both my check makers cause they all fit loose. Nothing...

I have read about the clocked barrels. I been holding my breath it's ok. I know mine don't have JM stamp on it, bought it a few months ago.

What I have read that the factory sights aren't the best. Is this set up good for my new Marlin, XS ML-0013-5 Ghost Ring rear with front sight. I seen one on Ebay for $82.95. Need info on where else...

I'm having the same problem with aluminum PB GC with the metal flowing too much up the bullet when sizing and with half of them tearing. I'm not fooling around with PB, I'll just have a mold made in...
Forum: Gas Checks
I always use gas checks on a 44 mag if you are loading to mag velocities. I had that same bullet and let me tell you it wasn't fun shoot. I got rid of the mold.

Would the magnaports on a barrel cause leading at the ports? The revolver is a S&W 629 Performance Center 44 mag with a Magnaported barrel. The bullet is a lead 250 gr. gas check. I have a chance to...

I have 2 LM set up on my bench one for large prime and the other for small. But the large give me the most trouble. I noticed if I keep powder out of it they run smooth if I do my part.
Forum: Casting Equipment
I also have both, but I have them both heated up and full when casting. I use a 6 banger mold and the lead goes fast. But when using 3 and 2 cv molds I do prefer the 20# one.

I have 2 Load Masters set up on my bench, one for large primmers and the other for small. One thing about Load Masters keep them well lubed and don't rush them. Keep each stroke of the lever steady...

Forum: Boolit Lube !
I have mixed a batch of lithium and bees wax and parafin. It all blended good and it worked good in my 45 acp, 45LC and 357 mag. I haven't had a chance to try in my 45-70 or 308 Win. But plan on to.

Wrench, Also thanks for the link it opened my eyes wide about digital scales. I guess I'll stick to the balance beam style that I have been using for 35 yrs. I sure don't want a 44 mag blowing up in...

Would like to know which Digital powder scale is reliable? Thinking of buying one but don't have any experience with one.
