Several summers ago I was infested with possums. I live trapped them using dry cat food for bait (they love it). To do them in once caught in a live trap, immerse trap with critter in a...

It would seem to me if your as cast bullet diameter is .368, you need a mold that will drop a smaller diameter bullet or you need to run your bullets through a sizer. Next, I would try either a...

Yes, a spool gun (expensive) will do the job as will TIG (very expensive). However, if you are a reasonably proficient "stick" welder, aluminum stick welding rod can be obtained from any well stocked...

First I advise you to determine the price of lead on the commodity market and what a scrap yard would sell it for. Use the higher of the two prices to assign a value. I would think the value would be...

Not wanting to render down a can of JPW to make 45-45-10 lube, I purchased a 1# bag of flake carnauba wax to melt and use instead of the JPW. Can anyone suggest how much melted flake carnauba to add...

I recently purchased a bar of alloy? from a scrap dealer. cast into the bar is "OATEY 4 IN 1 PURE TIN". I have contacted Oatey and a 5 year employee advised he had no knowledge of the alloy?...

My advice is to befriend a good machinist or tool & die maker. They will be able to check a lathe and tell you if it is in need of parts or repairs. Buying them lunch and a few beers is worth it for...

Were it me, I would look into the list of wildcats based on the .303 developed by Elwood Epps, a Canadian gunsmith. I believe he is deceased but the last I read, his son or grandson is carrying on...

Is anyone using the Quick Measure powder measure? It is supposed to be very accurate and it supposedly will not cut powder granules. The description sounds great but I would like to hear some first...

Spend the few bucks to have the bolt body magnaflux'd. The receiver too. Also, if you can find someone that does industrial X rays that is also a good idea. You must remember you are dealing with a...

Yep, I own and use one. I love it. It's much better than a SAECO or LBT.

Jamesconn: Since you absolutely cannot cause the demise of the feral cats by shooting and doing away with them after live trapping appears to be a problem, here is something else that may do the...

Some years ago, I had a wildlife pest control business and had to deal with the fact that critters I live trapped could be rabid. Rabies is a VERY REAL possibility with feral cats and small wild...

Can anyone tell me where I can obtain handgun bullet jackets? I feel Corbin is too darn expensive. Has anyone had any success purchasing jackets from the major bullet manufacturers? :oops:

Start with an ABSOLUTELY CLEAN barrel. Slug the barrel, noting any tight or loose areas. Fire lap as necessary until the bore is uniform. Do a chamber cast or slug the bore to determine what diameter...

Whoa!!! Slow up a bit guys. First off it is a well known fact that many 7.7 Jap rifles simply had an '06 reamer ran into the chamber so that '06 ammo could be used. The dimensions of the original...

What you have is a bullet puller. If memory serves correctly, they were made by Bonanza. They were made in two variations. The type you have is made to snap into a Bonanza coax press. The second type...

It has been my experience that I can get bullets with less weight variation using a dipper. Granted the dipper method is slower but the end result quality is better. If you have never cast with a...

Most everything concerning this problem seems to have been covered. I would stress the importance of uniform case length. A case length gauge is not a big investment. My experience has been that .45...

It is my understanding that Texaco made the grease called Taurak which was a railroad hotbox grease, also. Taurak was also used extensively as bullet lube. It was as I recall, repackaged by NEI and...

Hmmmmm........I have shot untold numbers of boolits for .45 ACP made of wheel weights. I have a Glock 27 in .40 S&W that I treated to an after market new barrel. I have a 6 cav. mold for the .40, but...

First off, have patience. I have read that the bore dimensions on Ruger .44 rifles are on the generous side. I believe that was on Ranch Dog's web site awhile back. His boolits are designed for...

White lead was also used as pipe dope on pipe threads when screwing pipe and fittings together.

The fact that your pot has tripped the (circuit breaker?) in three different houses should be sufficient clue to suspect that something is seriously wrong with the pot. The first thing I would check...

I simply changed the spring in my B&M powder measure to a much lighter one. I purchased a spring assortment at a local hardware store and found exactly the spring I needed in the assortment. Now it...
