Mine mostly gets 158gr SWCs. I've been powder coating mine for years now. It does feel a bit like a pellet gun with 6 grains of Unique behind it. That 20" octagon really has some weight to it. I...

Verticalscope acquired my beloved motorcycle forum many years ago, along with many others. They were absolutely the death of gixxer.com.

Normally I have to escort the fireworks barge on the 4th, but that's been cancelled. And the beach is closed so I won't be playing Baywatch either.
I still have to work a 12 hour day. I'd like...

It's hard to go wrong with any of the decent models of the "orange" saws.
I look at what the pros around me use. They're mostly Echo or Stihl, with a few on Husqvarna.
I got tired of...

I'm thinking it may matter if you're using a bottom pour pot or not.
I fill the cavity furthest from me first, and keep the pour going until the cavity nearest me is filled. That's "pushing" the...

I saw some references to that. I have a couple worm weights that are tiny, but I mostly fish salt water, and it's rare that I use a sinker under an ounce.
A friend of mine sells sinkers that...

I tried to look it up, but I couldn't find anything on any bans.
I live in FL, and drift nets have been banned for a long time. Given the destruction they were doing, I have to admit that I'm...

I've had one about a month now. It's great for decapping, bullet sizing, and push thru sizing.
An automated feeder would really be amazing.
I also tried reloading some 10mm with it as a...

I got mine. I had to reset my password, only to find that my username was way off.

Your best bet would be friends nearby. Or maybe rent a warehouse space if it's got power. Some of my first casting sessions were in a rented unit that my brother was using as a motorcycle shop.

Wow. That's impressive. Mine's predicted to be here Tuesday, and I was impressed.
I had a Mihec mold from a group buy get delayed because of Hurricane Sandy. It looked like the box went...

This is no April Fool's joke. Got mine paid for. And I'm trying Miha's handle for the first time.

I'm still working at least 40 hours a week. I fear that may go up as more of our guys have to be quarantined. If I wind up in quarantine, I have a whole ton of cleaning and organizing to do in my...

2 very solid choices there.
I honestly can't decide which I like better in a 1911, the classic H&G 68, or the Mihec 200gr RNHP.

I think part of that is bleeding over from the instructors' backgrounds. Many instructors will revert back to their base in LE/Military, because most people haven't had many real defensive...

I put cast bullet 300blk hunting rounds on the back burner years ago. For paper punching, I was doing well with the Lee 155gr spire point (the one meant for 7.62x39.)
I tried using a softer alloy...

There's a professional one on the building I work out of to report back to the weather people. It seems to have given them plenty of trouble. I'm not sure if the make/model. Then again, maybe it's...

How far apart are they? I just set my brother's up using an HDMI cable to his TV so I could use it as a display.

Looks good. Those SWCs are one of my favorites. I still tumble lube my wadcutters with 45-45-10.

I'm thinking that you'd need to fire form and possibly even neck turn to make 350 Legend out of .223.
The idea of being able to form .223 brass and use .357 jacketed bullets was really...
