    Tom:

    You mentioned my name; do you want to post my article on the Ideal Moulds, 1884 - 1915? It was originally written for Beagle, and edited and converted to MS Word by him. I've run many hard copies and CD's and sent them off to individual inquirers. It would save me a lot of time - and a few bucks - to be able to refer them to this site.

    Thanks!

    Saw the reference to your casting fellows homepage, made the mistake of going there, took me nearly 2 hours to get away. Wonderful info thanks for the sharing of information and the time that you have spent in doing so.

    Great Great site. Ordered some of Pat's flux today and checked out Casting Fellows----WHAT a great time I have had the past couple of hours. Will be back again and frequently. My senior years are now allowing me to once again shoot and enjoy. Have just last year started into Cowboy Action Shooting and am casting my own boolits. Am using a 45-70 and also an old 86 Win. in 38-56 cal. so have already found valuable info in the forum. Hope to contribute in the future and will try to help others as I have been helped already.
    God Bless

    Flyboy,

    Arrright! The very first time I see is just what I needed. About 3 years ago a buddy who has since passed gave me a new commercial Mauser action, a New England double set trigger, a new .375 bore barrel, a reamer in .375 H&H and a headspace gauge. Just last night I decided to start working on it. It's the least I could do to honor his generous gift. I put the action on a mandrel and faced it off, preparing for the barrel. I've thought since he gave me the parts that it would make a great castboolit rifle. Your detailed info on the boolit molds has me fired up. Thanks!

    David

    Great site, I read the 223 stuff twice trying to get some tips for my on going problems with getting my 22 Hornet to hit the broad side of a barn with my casts (this is a real test of my patience, kill something). The gun shoots jacketed very well but not casts. The info on sizing point down, and culling might help. thanks for your efforts.

    FANTASTIC!! I happened on this treasure trove of articles a while ago and as usual I am blown away by the knowledge and willingness to share that I see from those on this forum that have so much experience. I only got to read a couple of articles tonight but I'll be back. Thanks for posting this.

    Unusable

    These pages are incredibly frustrating for me to try to read. Firefox keeps the right hand words hidden, EVEN IF I expand to full screen on a 24 inch 1920 pixel wide monitor. I am forced to use the left/right scroll bar to read every single line.

    I am searching for a Firefox solution but what I find only seems to apply to those who control the CSS or inside the < pre > tag. Neither apply here.

    Until then these pages will have to go unread by me.

    Sorry.

    A suggested fix

    I found the problem in the Slugging the Bore article. Inside every HTML paragraph tag there is a ";margin-right:-.5in;". That instructs the browser to hide one half inch of text on the right hand side no matter what, if the line is long enough, one is forced to use the scroll bar to see it.

    My suggestion- stop doing that. Even better, make it a positive value, instead of a negative one.

    Hangfire, that bugs me too, I experimented with "zoom" and window size
    with no luck. Then set "view, page style" to "no style". The font gets
    thinner but the text lines cooperate and stay within the margins, no more
    shifting back & forth.

    I'm having a difficult time reading "slugging a barrel" because it is too large for my screen. I tried changing resolution without any results. Could you resize the text so that it fits a lap-top screen? I am very interested in this specific article. Thanks BC

    Gentlemen,

    The websites are coming back. The original pages were written in Microsoft Word 95 and I can no longer update them.

    I am redoing all the websites in modern language and they will be back up in about a month or so. Everything was backed up 100%, nothing was lost.
