You could check the voltage. An alternator puts out 13.80-- 14.20 volts. If generator you can install a smaller pulley. I install smaller pulleys on 6 volt tractors converted to 12 volt. A small...

Shooting buddy had some of those today and wouldn't fire double action. My Winchester primers worked 100% in his gun. Dent was deeper in the Win. also.

Live and learn. Thanks for the update. Sounds kind of slow. I may get one and hog it out to .434 if the steel is soft enough. I may be better off swapping for a gun with smaller throats.

If you ream it out you will need a larger piston or it will leak lube. They are normally .001 smaller than the die. For some reason all the 44 mag dies I've seen drop .431 or smaller. The sizer needs...

Just roll crimp over the front band. I do 9mm the same way in 38-357. If too short back off on the powder. There is not much information on that mold. Looks like it would work in a leaver gun or a...

Albert's was one of the first to make a coated 45 acp swag boolit. I had some.

I bet someone would swap you a good Lyman 450 heads up--Then you could get parts.

I would like to sell these in ONE lot. Please remove-Thanks for looking
I have a few molds I can alox without sizing. They just don't hold enough boolits. If I size a boolit with one of my 450's I may well lube it at the same time.

I bought a MCGRAW 21 gallon last year but with the oil compressor. No problems an no leaks. I bought a filter at a hardware store.

Looks ok to me. Thick sprue plate. I take a mold like that and heat it up and submerge in the pot a few seconds and the lead smear will be gone. Don't try to scrape it off. Don't worry about smoked...
Bullseye is my favorite 200 lead powder with 45acp. Titegroup groups as good but a tad dirtier. A 1911 is not really that picky with powders. I like VN 320 and VN 340 for being clean. Clays is a fast...

Glad you are fixed. I was going to agree with post #11 shoot it out. An old gunsmith showed me how to do it with three grains of bullseye powder in the 60's.
Guy on<Defensive Forum>sez it's a 100 grain and .885 ol with 2.7 Bullseye or 2.9 of 231. Double check that. It's not in Lyman #48. THERE IS a 95 grain fmj in my book at .900 with 2.8 BE and 2.9 of...

I agree with Froogal 3/4 plywood and a tow strap and comealong. Use you pickup to pull-not your back. I hired a 1 ton winch truck to move mine. <dangled in the air with nylon tow strap.>

Excellent grouping for 100y with a gc lead. Mine will only do 2'' @100y.
