yes I have seen it happen.

Bill

some of the eddystones were made with a very hard action. the barrels were ok.
I knew a shooyer who had one rechambered to 308 norma magnum, when shooting at a deer the
gun came apart, taking his...

about 1965 I had a rem. 760 in 35 rem, converted to 358 win. it was fairly easy job. rechamber the
barrel to 358 win. change the bolt head, used 308 mag, which worked well with only three rounds....

blue dot in the 9mm, with a 124 gr. cast boolit works very well for me

Bill

I have used a lot of red dot, for practice. worked well, clean burning.
now I am trying trail boss, appears to work as well as red dot,
also trail boss is great in my ruger lcr 38 spcl.

In the old days, We sometimes used mercury, this was before We found out
just how toxic that stuff is. But it worked.
Lately I have had pretty good luck using a product called Kroil, and 4000...

The plant that I was employed at, produced Neoprene. We could buy some clothing, I still wear the wool pants for deer hunting. As far as I know powder was not available. Gun powder back then was...

No discounts of any kind, well We could buy steel toe shoes rewal cheap.
When I was employed by DuPont, they had a big interest in Remington, no luck there either.
Those comments about pressure was...

The Dacron fiber I mentioed was sold by Sears for pillow stuffing. It was in the eary 60s, the NRA did some eary testing using fillers, and alox. Dacron was mentioned I belive at that time. I started...

More reasons to like the 30-30, 45-70, the cast shooting with rimless has been confined to the 30-06. With moderate to heavy loads there has been no problems.
I agree that lubing the inside of the...

My guage (Wilson) has a little flat groove milled across the end of the case, works just like an over size chamber. The sized and loaded case is a loose fit in the guage, unlike the fit in a chamber....

The 45 acp does headspace on the mouth of the case, You may use the boolit if it has a sharp shoulder such as a wad cutter. What works very well for Me is to use the barrel, unless a guage is...

I havebeen using dacron as a filler for over 40 years. The daron I use is very wiry. Sears sold it for pillow stuffing. I pull off a small tuff, Appr. 1Gr. roll it betweeen My hands to make a round...

I use a homemade propane burner, something similar to the commercial "turkey cookers" only mine puts out more heat. For a pot I use an old deep cast iron skillet, holds almost 40 pounds. After...

My Lee 20 Lb. oot seemed to run on the cold side, so I did a quick bending job on the electrical contacts so they stayed closed longer. Works.
Prior to that I put some ventilation holes in the...

I use dacron as a filler. The dacron I use was purchased over thirty years ago, soon after the NRA published the report on cast alloys in a rifle. If I remember correctly the test was mostly with the...

I have the article in one of My old manuals, well worth reading, I should mention that the NRA test used Dacron fiber for the best results.

Have been using the old NRA mix, using alox and beeswax, works the best for Me,eapecially when pushing the velosity. For low velosity, I use Lee liquid alox. Works good. I still have a little alox...

I have been using red dot, with a 200 gr. cast bullet. Works good for Me, seems to be fairly clean. One of the reasons for the use of red dot, is the fact that I have quite a bit and do not load for...

I use a fairly soft mix, and they are quite accurate. I mix 10 Lbs. soft lead with one half Lb. 50/50 solder. I sometimes think the tin only serves to make a nice looking casting. If the pressure in...

I use them quite a bit, My .62 smooth bore really likes them, and as far as I

can tell they are very effective on deer size game.

I think the double cavitys are bigger, I have some of each, but I am to lazy to walk out to the shop and look for sure.
I have used Lee double cavitys in other sizes and have had little if any...

I have not had a problem with a buildup of alox in the seating die.
I use the lube very sparingly, and let it dry for a couple of days, and leading is
non existant, this is with mild to moderate...

For the past 3 years I have not sized any of My cast boolits, I use Lee liquid alox, and shoot as cast. Let the barrel size them, saves time. But on a more serious note, My molds and alloy mix have...

One thing acetone does very well, is the ability to act as a drying agent.
acetone removes water very well, also it is a pretty good drgreaser, evaporates quickly. Acetone is dangerous, not good...
