    His is an actual mold and his bullets were soft, plumbers lead. Yeah, we're old and have old stuff...lol. If I remember right I think he bought it from Dixie. His rifle is also a Parker Hale. Thank you for the Info. I'll share this with Dave and see if he wants to pursue it.

    BTW, your rifles are gorgeous.

    And another question. Did you used to make custom sizing dies? If so, I have one or two....but, slap me silly, I don't remember which ones!

    Charlie, as with you I don't lose my temper since retiring. Good thing...working on my old MG's can try an old, fat body!

    Yep, I can't slide under my cars anymore either. That was one good thing about 4WD trucks. Plenty of room underneath. Had to have a stepladder to get under the hood

    All these pretty guns are making me think about building a round ball rifle. Gotta get myself under control here.

    You just need a jack that goes higher and taller jack stands...

    I was thinking about a lift but I'd need to make my upcoming shop addition a lot taller. I looked at some of those portable lifts but they only go to 4 foot. That would help with a lot of things but you'd be sitting on a stool or one of those mechanics roll away seats for a lot of stuff. I have a friend who has a 2 poster but it's 10 miles away and I probably don't have to mention the right tool would be at my house and he wouldn't have it.

    Lifts are great for working on stuff. I had one for the motorcycles that probably saved my back from many weeks of pain. When I was in the Army I'd use the lifts at the craft shops and they made work a ton easier. I'd save up for a 4 post model if I were to buy one. I've seen a 2 post that fell over when the owner could not figure out where to put the car.

    I don't work on the cars anymore. The WRX was my last 'project' car and since then I let someone else do the maintenance. In the long run it is cheaper since I don't end up modifying things

    Heck, on the old stuff just keeping it original and runnin' ain't cheap...that and I am loathe to alter things from original, rifles or cars.

    I am kinda the opposite, at least when it comes to my project vehicles, boats, rvs or guns. They frequently get modified to suit. A few are original, my carry pistols and heirlooms.
