Can you use the aluminum gas checks the same as the copper?

I want to order some from Sage and they're out of copper but have aluminum.

Welp, that didn't last two days, I've got to learn to move faster... ;-)

I saw the .454 molds on NOE but isn't that too much to size down to .452?

And all of the molds listed on that page are sold out. How long until they're back in? I see no place to be notified.

So I took the plunge and ordered an NOE mould.

As I'm sure so many of you know it's fantastic quality and capable of wonderful boolits.

So here's what I'm wondering. I ordered the 44 caliber...

Well I've pretty much come to the conclusion that I'm going to peel the veneer and put my t-track where I want it and fill in with particle board topped with masonite to bring it flush or a stitch...

I've done the bolt down with t-nuts and it works fine but in my current configuration it's limiting, if I had the t-track I could slide whatever, wherever I wanted.

I think I see what you mean...

Addendum: I checked the Woodcraft site and they have lots of options.

I do like the cam action hold down they offer, I hadn't thought about that for securing the plywood plates.

Question: Gavin...

Jim, thanks for the input. I'd completely forgotten about Woodcraft, we have one here in town!

I'll see what they have.

I could do the router method; the caveat is that all my tools except for...

I've found a Texan shotgun reloader available locally for what I think it a fair price.

For less than $300 it comes with 12, 20 and 16 gauge conversions and lots of bushings and parts and such.
...

I guess this is where this belongs...

I need to re-do my reloading bench, badly. I made it at least 10 years ago by building a particle board cabinet underneath and using a solid core door as the...

I will contact CZ after the holiday and see what they have to say but in my research I did find some resources, most specifically a place to order better springs with the follower attached.

I was...

Well I've slugged the bores on the 45 Colt again and everything is .4515 or a smidge less.

Standard .452 boolits and the occasional jacketed projectile at .451 will be fine, right?

Yes, all...

I've recently come in to a CZ SP 01 and it's a fantastic gun.

I have always been a fan of the 1911 as a "bottom feeder" but these nice steel guns with their different geometry are a real joy and...

As usual the advice here is top notch and practically useful.

1. I slugged all chambers and the average for all 6 is .3588

2. I found my micrometer stand and I'm confident in the quality and...

My Lyman Micrometer won't (can't) measure the rifling since the slug is a reverse image but it can measure the grooves. Can you expand on the "Vee" block?

I do have an RCBS Ball Micrometer if...

If it's not too late I'll chime in on owning that Hornady scale. I bought it when I was gearing up after my reloading hiatus which was during some of the worst "pandemic" shortages and I was...

In the interest of being more accuracy minded I followed the examples set here and I slugged my first revolver this morning.

I picked up a beautiful older (maybe 80's) Ruger Blackhawk in 357...

I'm working on wheelweights but I don't hold much hope. Supposedly there's a bunch for the asking or very cheap.

I'm going to one of the recycling places for a repair job (I fix scales) and I know...

After spending a good bit of time reading and re-reading the fantastic work by Glen Fryxell and Robert Applegate (From Ingot to Target) I've come to realize how much I didn't know about boolit...

Thanks for the help. I'll get after it next week.

So I'm looking at possibly buying some alloy from Plum Bum Casting Company. I saw the ad on this forum and I like what I see.

My huge new Lyman furnace is hungry and boy does it have a voracious...

I’m grateful for the support. I started at the age of 13, Camels were.50 a pack, remember that?

I was feeling a little guilty for my purchase so I went to the garage and cast 50lbs of boolits,...

Yep, I had a good setup for ventilation where I previously lived, not so now. I'm going to correct that today. I'll swing by and get a switch and a couple of fans. The boss sent me home sick so I...

Thanks for the input, we'll see what anyone says after the holiday.

To shorten a long story as much as possible... I quit smoking for real a while back. I've smoked my whole life, off and on. So on the suggestion of others I have been putting my cigarette money aside...
