I'd sit somewhere to look at, just for the novelty of them.
For the melting, a chopped off propane tank is hard to beat.

I was reading somewhere they have the longest stinger of all the wasps, and maybe hornets.
That way, the venom gets way on in there where it'll hurt the most.

Good job.
I retired 5 years ago and have learned that projects that were so important, I had to stay up all night,
and work all weekend to complete---- heck. Now I can stretch those out for...

Hmmm. I first heard it was lions.
But further research has led to it being recommended for almost any animal that can hurt you.

Thanks everybody.
Your support means, and really does help a lot.

Oh yeah, one of my favorite jobs was as a cook in High School.
I've pretty much always done most of the more fancy cooking around here,
and have been experimenting with different bread recipes...

Interesting. Thanks for that.
I never researched it, and only got 'B's at best in High School Chemistry.

They're not really ants.
They're a ground dwelling wasp that when it stings ya-- you think you've been shot.

I have a 'Post Office proof' method for loose, heavy stuff.
I put all the loose stuff in a cloth bag and sew it shut. Then put it in the Post Office's box.

They are a sight to see.
While on active duty, I was asked by my Commanding Officer to put in for them when they put out the word they
needed a new Parachute Rigger on their maintenance crew.

Have them get on youtube and watch some of the park ranger and camping story recounts on Donovan Dread's channel.
Then they'll be more than content to stay home and play video games.
Problem solved.

Forum: Boolit Lube !
I get a little lube on the bottom of boolits even using a sizer.
I just lay a piece of blue jean cloth on my leg, and give them a quick wipe before I seat them.

I've done a couple. It'd be easier with two people, but one person can do a 10' one fairly safely.
Think it through, watch some youtube videos on it.
It's not that big a deal, but 'read & heed'...

That's pretty normal.
Over the years there's been several articles addressing this effect.
Something I've found that helps to have a larger percentage of a batch in the sweet spot is to stir the...

That 32 might be an inspector's mark,
or just how they are sure to keep matching halves together during manufacturing.

Try your best, but it sounds like they have problems you can't fix.
I'd try 'em.
Next time around, I'd also measure the first few off the press rather than the last few.:bigsmyl2:

Stirring aggressively with molten Lead in it is all you need to do.
As soon as the crud gets loose off the side & bottom, it'll float up.

I think part of their problem is from making that long jump into the rifling when the chamber is really made for LRs.

Back when I was still hunting, I'd shoot the primary deer rifle about 100 times a year.
Then go hunting with it and kill 2-3 deer per season.

I've had a few of them.
The ones I had could be scratched easily, and I just tossed 'em the pot like they were pure Lead.
