100%. I’ve asked them about stuff I bought 2nd hand and they sent me brand new replacement parts- no questions. Best customer service out there.

Wolfdog, I’ve read enough of your posts- you won’t have a problem. Yes each caliber can have picky things to work through, but you’ll be fine.
I would vote you start with the 357. Revolvers are a...

In general, reactions happen faster as the temperature increases.
Also- metals mix or “alloy” better as the temperature increases.
So in theory, the higher temps are probably offer better or...

The Lead Silver eutectic point is 2.6% Silver. That mix or alloy melts at 577.4 F. That is a very “reachable” temperature for us home casters.
Silver acts as a toughener much like Tin, but it...

Ron I’m sorry to hear about your experience and the resulting pain.
My dad has had multiple back surgeries and has been on narcotics for 20 years. I think the surgeon that did this to him should...

I’m of the opinion that clutter makes your life difficult. If you needed one in the future, or just wanted one, I suspect you will be able to get one. I vote de-clutter and move on.

I am a fan of Ed’s Red. But I recently tried Frog Lube bore solvent.
I think the Frog Lube is faster and better!!!!

I did look at the target this weekend more closely. There is a small amount of surface rust on the exposed surfaces. I had painted over it, but that makes the most sense so far. Will have to try...
Ok I like this theory. I did paint it, but it may have had rust spots on the surface. Interesting.
It was cloudy and getting dark. So I don’t think so.
I didn’t take the time to inspect the steel itself. I’ll inspect and report back.
The steel is not grounded. It is bolted on to a 2x4 that is slid into a wood stand.
I took some out of town folks shooting yesterday evening. We shot until close to dark. The last rifle we shot was a 458 SOCOM. I noticed a small spark when the bullets made impact with the AR500...

I suspect some of the younger crowd have no idea what a “short” is. I’ve had a lot of fun with them in the past. Maybe they are saving money by not engraving that on the cylinder?

Everything about this screams scam. And “ghost guns” are only going to get you in trouble.

Yesterday I cast 1000+ 150 grain bullets for a 9mm. Today I powder coated most of those and then I assembled about 200 pieces of 0.38spl.
