I don't hunt much anymore, bought the rifle more or less because I always wanted one, and already have 44 and 30-30. I Ordered Redding dies, still looking for the molds, I know I have them somewhere,...

Took an advantage of Marlin's 100.00 rebate and found a 45-70 Gov. for 399.00. Always wanted one, so now was the time. What dies do you recommend, RCBS has the Cowboy Dies, but I'm partial to...

Forum: Boolit Lube !
Put an order in about a month ago, called last week what's going on. Turns out my order was lost during a storm, received my order (+ plenty of extra lube) yesterday, Thanks guys, I'll be ordering...

Not that I have noticed, I had it hard wired first and used a thermometer in the pot to check, then I installed the plug and got same temps. Temp variation stays in +- 1 degree when up to temp.

Don't know if this one is already here somewhere but, I used to have a "horn" bench jewelers mallet and I really liked it. Can't seem to find one here in US but one could make it pretty easy. Only...

I don't think we ever get 10% chance, more like 40-60 down here. I would never get to smelt if I would listen to weather guys.
I think in Florida they're just re-runs from previous years anyway,...

Antistatic cello-tape should do the trick also. I'm using one of the bags from an old hard-drive, working so far pretty good.
Here's a link for tapes and other antistatic stuff.

This happened in the late 70's in Finland when I was about 15-16, I had gotten a Smith 38spl 6" barrel for my B-day, it did not take long before I realized I could not afford to shoot it so I took...
Had a chance to try AM357135A, since it was meant for my CX4 I did not re-size the first patch, just pushed them through 358 lube die to get some speed green on the boolits.
I was shooting off...

I was # 35, happily casting away :bigsmyl2:
Forum: Group Buy Archives
I'm taking my time, they are already cleaned but I figured not to rush anything (funny how it works, no more rush since I have the mold in front of me). Actually I'm waiting for the pot to get hot...

Got mine yesterday, looks great.
I think I'm just going to frame it and hang it on the wall. Or not.
Forum: Swaging
I'd be interested in .243, 44mag and if possible 357..... I think Storydude was interested in 308, not sure, but I seem to recall seeing or hearing something, somewhere.

Just drill 3/8 holes, use carriage bolts and wingnuts under the table, easy on easy off.

Received mine today, might have to fire up the pot just to see how they fall.

If I put a cd player under my melting pot and turn it on while I melt, are my bullets "laser cast"
Forum: Cast Boolits
Yup all those, but then I just shelled out 130 bucks to build a few PID's, not to mention the midget oxy/acetylene setup, so I can save more money while casting???? it's all in a perspective, you...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
Yup, MB's blue smokes like grazy, I went to the shooting range last night to test some of my boolits.
Lee 358-158-RF boolit / speed green lube / 3.7gr N320 no smoke no leading to speak of, nice...

I saw somebody making the balls out of billiard balls, looked pretty classy, and is big enough for larger hands also
That's the way we planned it, I have a CX4 that I want to try the 35-135A, hence two cavities, we also figured since I don't shoot that much 44's might as well have only one of those in the middle...
Here's to Tom at Accurate Molds. :drinks::drinks:
Just bought my first Accurate molds in brass, communications and delivery were excellent even though I had million questions, and super fast.

Today I finally found my problem. Alignment of holes was totally off, I finally took the die out and while the boolit was inside, pushed a straightened fishing hook (didn't have any needles) through...
