Dtknowles has nailed it. Split necks are from work hardened brass. Brass flows forward when fired. The base is what is thinned. The bright ring is the sign, and use wire to confirm.

I'd go with the 1.5/5. Would be good for close shots. If you can, check out a tapered crosshair. I have a old B+L baleight with them and they are great. It draws your focus right to the center of the...

Got 12....missed the gas one also.....

Triggerhappy243....I'd retie my sneakers and race you to it. And at 61 I'd give it my best shot.!!!! LOL

Now....I have a couple of these molds, as well as then " jugular " molds.
So....is this mold now useless. ????
I think NOT.!!!
Being smooth sided, isn't it perfect for powder coating.??
And you...

+1gwpercle. I find it very relaxing using a single cavity mold, either 30 or45 cal, and casting, or trying to, one perfect boolit at a time. Just taking my time.
I just find it easier to buy the...

I cast for my milsurps and 45/70 Rolling Block. I buy for my 38/357 lever and single shot rifle because the boolits available from MBC are reasonable and work. I also buy 31/32 ish pistol...

Not at all, just talkin muzzleloaders.

I'm from Hudson Valley, Po'keepsie area. Used to be lots of casters at the Lyman range in Wallingford, Ct.(can't remember the name)
Don't know about the Westchester range in Montrose area.

Thanks for posting this. It has brought me comfort these past couple of days.

I believe the "Spaghetti " westerns were the advent of the "dirty" westerns. Where characters were dusty, sweaty, dirty,etc. Some of the "Duke's" movies reflect that also.
The western from the late...

Perhaps we're looking at it wrong. Perhaps they are push thru rods for sizing dies and they are developed to be used with the shell holder inverted. And attached to another piece.
Just my wild...

+1 for Valdez is Coming.
Good reloading scene in it.

Big Jake because it's set right at the end of the Cowboy era. Cars, semi auto's, scoped bolt guns......and the Duke.

If you have any older dies, make sure the mouth of the die is beveled. I have some older dies that aren't. I bevel the mouth with a cartridge tool.
You can heat the lubrisizer with a light bulb...

And the trigger.???
Just don't look right.

Best cheap advice, put die with case in freezer (brass and steel have different expansion rates), loosen expander nut prior, mount cold die in press, smack expander with hammer. This works with Lee...

Sand bags as a berm also address weather problems as to frozen ground and washout.
Three layers could be:
Rear two sand
Front one pelletized rubber
According to finances, of course.
That would...

I was at a small range that used sand bags as part of their back stop. Rail road ties, then two layers of sand bags in front. Not much made it thru the first bag layer and it was easy to repair. And...

Welcome longline.
Mauser48, I use a boolit of @ 125-140 grns for plinking/small game in my 30/30. Greendot powder, any available primer as these are plinkin rounds.
