Yeah, man, pull the handle!

[Maxthompson]

Sorry but that is the wrong size wheelweight for that caliber.

[steveb]

Thats funny!....Good One!

[NVcurmudgeon]

Harpman, you win the prize for being the sharpest among us. It was bound to occur to somebody sooner or later. That looks to be about a 1 oz. weight (437.5 gr.) Hope you backed off on the powder charge!

[boogerred]

when i saw that i thought-man,that guys gonna need a lot of help!

[Harpman]

I do need help, my dam tires are wobbling on my truck now.

[waksupi]

Back to school, for you!

[IMR]

Personally, I think he needs to flare the case mouth just a tad. I think shaving boolits shows ingnorance of the art.

[44man]

The steel clip will help orient the boolit so you can chamber it exactly the same shot to shot.
I think this one was so good that it should stay number one on the forum forever!
I laughed so hard that we never want to lose this one, GREAT JOB!

[Cherokee]

Love the pic !!!!

[Dutch4122]

Rotflmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bisley45]

now thats just funny http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y182/lisa1lacy2/funny%20stuff/googoo.gif

[mike in co]

nope its like plug chaw.
just push some inside, take yer whitlin knife and cut it off. the case will form the boolet(as in pressed, vs cast boolit)....
no need fer them silly sizing dies, wipe a little chaw on it fer lube.....

[Buckshot]

..........Harpman, "I thought you guys said wheel weights worked !"

They do. That's the wrong kind.

.................Buckshot

[Dick Dastardly]

Ya better have right hand twist in that tube, else turn thet ww around. Gotta keep 'em in balsnce, ya know. . .

DD-DLoS

[MT Gianni]

I sure am glad no one told him to fill the case with powder up to the neck and then get the torch out to melt a sized wadcutter right on top of the powder. Glad I'm the only weird one of the bunch. Gianni.
PS PLease don't do this, try this or tell anybodyelse to.

I must be missing something or getting a crossed line, but when I hit the link a couple of bands on stage come up. I've been at the range all day and it is almost hot enough to melt ingots on the driveway, I'm hot and pooped, maybe not just sharp enough this arvo.

[Four Fingers of Death]

Right I'm on dial up and the picture didn't come out for ages. D'Oh!

CLIP?? I always thought that was the gas check!! Question though?? Is the clip legal in California, kind of looks like the dreaded banana clip!!!

[lovedogs]

You've all missed the most important question.... how did it shoot?

[Black Prince]

You boys AIN'T rite!!!!

ROFLMAO.

[largecaliberman]

You're using the wrong type of brass!!!

[fiberoptik]

Now load it full of the fastest powder ya got, preferably powder from G.I. blanks, make up a bunch of em, & call in Janet Reno, the Brady's, the Clintons, the Kennedy's (especially Ted) & don't forget the rest of 'em. Have them each touch one off with a BFA on the end of the barrel. (blank firing attachment for the non-military) Don't forget the pix!!:Fire: :drinks:

[rigmarol]

Best laugh I've had in a week or so.

[454PB]

Hey Rig, you finally found "The Place"!

Welcome!

[AZ-Stew]

You didn't run them through the lubricator-sizer??

[Harpman]

crap.......I knew something wasnt right !

[Taylor]

I always take off the clip first.

[Rooster]

I thought that those steel cored (clipped) ones were illegal in the US. What is the BC on that projo anyways?

[cbrick]

Harpman, did my wife teach you bullet casting?:grin:

Rick

[georgeld]

Have you sent this picture to Lee yet??

Not sure where I saw it.

But sometime ago there was a picture of a guy with a m/L, mallet, ww, rag & patch knife all in the proper sequence.

Thought that was funny too.

Knife in his teeth, rag over the muzzle, ww on the muzzle and mallet dropping.
"drive a chunk in, cut the patch=====!!"

Humor huh?

[pjh421]

MT Gianni:

I know what you're thinking. "Modified Speer Hot Core process". The problem is that that wheel weight probably doesn't contain enough antimony to keep it from shrinking when it cools. The then-undersized slug would not seal the bore and subsequently allow enough gas blow-by to coat the bore with lead micro-droplets. The second and subsequent shots would not be adequately spin stabilized, causing embarassment and possibly pecuniary liability for the shooter. ;-)

Having said that, Thanks Harpman, for a truly excellent photo.

[Explorer1]

Have to agree with Vegas Vince on this one, more force will cure it. While a long sectionof pipe on the handle might be a good start (say another 5 feet), I would give into a real swaging press before I added 2 feet of pipe.

Now if I only had that much imagination...........

[catkiller45]

looks like a lot of good info in this site.I have used WW'S for 30 years or so with no ill effects

[Lugnutz]

You all got that wrong its a wildcat load and it still needs to be fire formed!!

[Topper]

For a really good bang, just heat it up with a torch until it flows into the brass:Fire:

[Lugnutz]

Nice Marty Nice!!!!

[Lightning Ross]

Wheel weight are for big bore cannons one cannon 2lbs black powder usecan as wad then insert wheel weights point tward Iran and fire.

[robertbank]

You boys got it wrong. Probably work better if he had a Dillon 1050 press with the automatic bullet feeder. That Lee Press single stage is to slow.

Take Care

Bob

[dakotashooter2]

Is that one of them bullits that shoots around corners???

[Hunter]

Looks to me your mould might need replacing. Casting a little out of spec are we? That is pretty good.

[robertbank]

Took me awhile to figure out, I live North of the Border, but what he is really doing here is swaging his own bullets out fo wheelweights using the case as a jacket. Am I close?

Take Care

Bob

[Hunter]

Funny you should you mention that Bob, I spoke with a friend of mine today who works at a race car shop about giving me old lead weights they use in transfering the center of gravity in round track cars . He told me they make their own from lead they get from the local pistol range, melted down and molded into weights and I can have their old ones. Talking about recycling, from weights to bullets back to weights then to bullets who knows how many times.

[kount_zer0]

Uh, you may want to do the following in order:

Slug your bore

Slug your cylinder throats

Slug yourself

if that dosen't work, disassemble your sizing die and clean and polish all surfaces thoroughly.

Have you considered neck sizing?

I'm woncering if anyone has seen a "go" gage to match.

Please use a magnum primer!

I can't stop I'm laughing too hard to eat my leftover bird sandwich.

Best post I've seen in a while!:drinks:

[ARKANSAS PACKRAT]

Is That Really A Wheelweight???? Way Too Shiney And Clean Don't Look Atoll Like The Ones I Get. Needs An Investigation To See Just Whuts Goin' On!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May Be A Silver Vampire Boolit?

[jabshooter]

You didn't run them through the lubricator-sizer??

You must have sizer lubricator with four foot extention handle.
Regards to all,
John

[Steve E]

I saw his problem right off, he forgot to take off the clip. Boy some people. LOL.

Steve E...........

[bubbadoyle]

I thought that was a boomerang bullet. Shoot it and it returns back to you to be recycled.

[EMC45]

Ya gotta melt 'em first?

[mtgrs737]

Now I don't care who you are that's funny!

Larry the cableguy

[Jimmydaux]

thats really funny... do you think it will fit in my 223 rounds?

[Jimmydaux]

might have a boomarang action and whip back around. Be careful!
