I have not used my setup much due to health issues.
I fired up every thing to blend a new alloy.
I set the PID to 750 F. When the pot hit 750 and I got a flashing light to set temp.
I then started...
I have seen this one piece mounted with the mount flush with the barrel and frame or with the mount forward but the rear of the scope is mostly unsupported.
Which is the more correct position?...

I tried out my MP 359-147 gr mold. I was having trouble getting all the cavities to fill out. With the sprue handle in place, it gives very little room to hold the mold handles. I try to hold them...

I have the early octogon, 10" bull and Super 14s and I have to say I prefer the 10" Bull in any caliber. I use Pachmayer grips.

Another bonehead move by the bean counters. If they sell well, why stop making them?

I pick this up on a whim. I can move the turret manually but there appears to be a 1/4 inch hole on the turret. How hard to fashion a handle for this device?

I ordered a mold from his web page and it was shipped 8/6/18. This time the Germans did not keep it for customs. I got the mold 8/15/18. Not bad for coming a half way around the world.

I got out of this mold (2Cav) and made a bunch of bullets. I picked up an Ideal mold of the same boolit (4Cav). I still have a lot of 358 Lyman gas checks but prefer Horandy. I want to use up some of...

Williams Gunsight is in my neighborhood, about fifty miles one way. It is a shame I never took the time to get to know anybody up there. They are well stocked.
