Is the 50-50 the only lube you sell that this affects?

The big doe I took last year with the 45acp was also a high double lung like yours. She also ran about a hundred yards at a dead run with almost no evidence that I even hit her until the last 20...

Great job on a nice deer. The 44 mag is my favorite rifle for deer hunting. Just gets it done and is what I used for my first self-cast boolit deer. Great memories.
Forum: Hunting with CB's
Awesome, congratulations. Someday I'll get one with my gp100. Good eating.
Forum: Hunting with CB's
The deer ran close to 100 yards. The shot hit high between a few ribs back, angled down and exited lower between two ribs. It then hit the lower part of the shoulder blade. I was hoping for a...

Was hunting at my brother's today. I already harvested a buck from his 15 acres with my bow so he wanted me to take one of the many doe around his place. I was sitting in a stand with max range of...

My Lee 452-230-TC has a meplat of about .3. I would have no hesitation using it for hunting and may this season if the NOE shallow hollow point weighting in at 245 doesn't get the draw.

I have both the 30 Herrett and the 35 Herrett. I cut mine to just a hair long after I run it through the expander with a power miter box and finish trimming like any other cartridge. Saves MUCH...

I dropped off some recycling stuff Saturday and asked about some Linotype. He had a partial bucket with larger single letters I think is monotype. He asked how much I wanted and I said all of it. ...
I have one and it feeds in my Springfield Range Officer.

My Rossi 92 357 would not cycle semi wad cutters from the time I got it. It would do jacketed like the xtp's and if I cycled it hard and fast enough, it would cycle the NOE 180 WFN but no swc's. I...

FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not sure what was wrong with it. There weren't shavings or crud under the extractor. There was a slight steel rise from manufacturing that I...
Forum: Leverguns
The ejector is also rough probably putting more force on the casing than necessary. The bolt has a small ridge that the ejector it is hanging up on a little. This is really one of the poorest...
Forum: Leverguns
It's a 357. At first it launched the spents into orbit. That didn't last. Now it slips over the top of most as it is pulling them from the chamber. I cleaned the chamber and was hoping it had...
Forum: Leverguns
Called Rossi for a replacement extractor and the price quoted was $141. They said I needed to order a whole new bolt assembly. Yikes!!!!!! Any alternatives out there?
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Thanks for the replies. I tried a sawzall on a bucket of them and it will be pretty easy to cut through the soft brass. I can melt the bulges separately and safely in a pot. I appreciate the...

I should have tried to put up a picture in my first post. The photo is a good rep of all of the valves. It is a fairly large ball at each connection and needs to come off anyways to get...

So I got about a 1000 lbs of lead pipe from an underground contractor. There were also half a dozen pails of shut off valves with lead on one or both sides. It looks like a bulge where the lead...

Thanks Larry. Time to mess around a little.

Larry, did you ever shoot this load with 31.5 grains and if so, what was the psi? How did it do? Thanks.
Forum: Leverguns
I have the same one with the slower micro-groove barrel. It slugs for .431. I use both .431 or .432 with no difference in accuracy. I shot 240 xtp's when I first got it. It shot consistent 1 1/2"...
Forum: Leverguns
My Winchester Trapper in 44 has the "micro-groove" barrel also with 1 in 38 twist. It is very accurate. Consistently shot 240 xtp's into an 1 1/2" at a hundred. I use cast now and shoot the RCBS...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I would recommend sizing the boolits to .431 before embedding the lapping compound. Still larger than the barrel so will work on the constrictions but not so big as to overly wear the throats and...
