Forum: Cast Boolits
Well, I broke out this mold this afternoon to do some casting along with my 2cav 358156. I never thought I’d be running a 20lb pot dry in just a few minutes of casting!
One thing I did notice is...
Yeah, but the grips that come standard on them now are not the same.

Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
If Texas by God can't do one for you, and you can't find someone else to do it, Chaszel makes 18" inserts for the 12ga and 20ga. I used one for my 7.62x25 build, and have been very surprised at how...
Those wood grips are very nice. I like the Lipsey model, but I wanted the full 6". I probably would have taken an 8" had they offered it in one.....

Good looking rifle there, Tex! I'm going to have to find another H&R to convert....
I will, thanks for that. I didn't realize they were interchangeable, of course I've never held a redhawk in my hands.... Excited for this GP100 to come in, this is intended to replace my aging...
Those are nice options for sure!
And I agree with you. Ruger had it right with their OG grips. The only upgrade from those were the inserts for them. That said, a couple of those grips for the...
Just called my buddy who owns a local gun store and had him order me a new GP100 in 6" (Model 1707 if you're wondering). Got a hell of a deal on a new model at wholesale price ($717 to the door). ...

My understanding is this is essentially a clone of the Ranch Dog 380 design. You might try searching the site (use google instead of the built in search function). There should be loads of...
Yup. I hate to say it, as he used to be very active on Cast Boolits, but I've taken my business elsewhere. Not because I dislike him or his products. Just because he never stocks the stuff he...

I have this problem often, and now view mold "weights" as a generality rather than a rule of law... For example, I have a 358477 that drops right at 158gr with 50/50+2%. That mold is a 150gr mold,...

Me, I gas check and size after PCing the boolits. I've seen guys PC after gas checking. I don't think it matters too much, but I haven't tried it the other way around.
You won't be upset with a purchase from MP, but for maybe not buying another mold to match your first one... I own about a dozen MP molds now. They are works of art in their own right.
Yup, MP Molds has what you want, and ships fast. It's not as fast as when they were still offering DHL 2day, but it's still fast.
That is one sexy gun! I am definitely jealous of that one.
Side note, I was looking around today and discovered Taurus has a 2.5" Snubby in 44 Magnum!!! Talk about overkill!!! As for me, I...

Yeah, that sucks man. I've had to put two friends down in the last few years. Never gets easier, that is for sure. Pets deserve to live forever, that's a fact.
Did I miss something? Is there a thread discussing this? I'd like to read through it if so. I've never known Mihec to do anything of the sort, but if you say so I wouldn't mind reading through the...
^^^ Same.
It seems like any time there is a good general purpose mold that sold out Al simply doesn't bother making any more of them. I even contacted them about doing a one-off (something they...

Depends on what you're doing..... But yeah, self contained is always nice if they have it. I have a lot of discreet parts, so sometimes it's just easier for me to use what I have. I used a 555, an...

An Audio Potentiometer is a Logarithmic Pot. But not all Logarithmic Pots are Audio Pots. You'll have to find one suitable for your application, yes an A10K is a logarithmic taper 10k pot. But,...

So a B10K is a linear taper potentiometer. What this means is that the voltage taper curve of adjusting the knob is going to be linear from one end to the other. However, because of the way ohms...
