IMO, at best, you'd de-temper the #2 back to it's original 15 BHN. At worst, you'd melt the #2.

Greg, I just saw your request for a picture, sorry this is so late! In the first pic the wedge is held captive in it slot by the pin under the escutcheon. The 2nd pic shows the location of the pin,...

A LOT of buffalo were killed with 45-70's shooting bullets at around 12-1300 fps. Go plain base.

Blue Dot! It will do anything 2400 will do in a .357 Magnum and will save you 2-3 grains per charge.

Bullet RPM = MV X 720/Twist Rate (in inches)
2600 x 720 /10 = 187,200 RPM
If you're really getting 2600 fps out of that 10" twist barrel, you're doing REALLY GOOD! Most...
Randy posted that story a couple years ago, you might find it if you search, but it might take a while to find the right thread. As I recall it didn't take too much hoop-jumping and voodoo magic,...

Because I would be limited to a velocity of 1300-1400 fps in order to stay under the RPM threshold, 120,000-140,000 RPM. At 1400 fps you're upwards of 120,000 RPM, bullets tend to become unstable...
OK, I was informed by a member of a different forum that the ban on lead ammo did NOT pass in the state senate! I can scarcely believe that, but it's true! My source on this matter was (thankfully)...

I have the American standard model, but have been wanting a Ranch Rifle for a while now. I load 62 gr. Speer Gold Dots with BLC-2, great combo. The 1-8 twist prevents me from trying any type of cast...

Greg,
Bending the wedge will put more tension on it and keep it snug but it's not a positively sure thing that you won't lose that wedge at some point in the future. The ONLY way to insure you never...

If you want to remove paint, get a can of lacquer thinner, a pair of old socks and some aluminum foil. Do this OUTDOORS, away from any source of ignition, LT is flammable!

Hi Mike, it's good to hear from you! Thanks for that information and my best wishes to you & yours down in Arequipa!
Thanks for your replies gents! My load for the .662 RB uses 19.0 gr of Red Dot, yields 1300 fps. Do you guys think I'll have problems using a fast powder like that with the lighter zinc ball? I have...
Well, it had to happen, the geniuses in the state capitol have proposed legislation to ban the use of toxic (lead) ammunition while hunting in New York State. I'm so.......well, I don't think I'm...

As Nobade said, the Kibler kits are excellent quality and will require more skill than some of the others. If you choose a kit like this, be patient and ask questions before you act, save some time...

nagantino,
IF you mixed the 45-45-10 properly, and IF you didn't let it sit on the shelf for six months before you used it, and your bullets are now sticky, then you used too much lube! When...

Yup! Altering your alloy to try to get another .003" will be frustrating, at best. Beagle it!
