Thanks for the info guys, I’ll look into those grip makers and yes it was the base pin, it had slid back just a bit and was fouling everything up.

I am looking for somewhere that I can find some grips for a old model 44 magnum Super Blackhawk. I would like to find a little bigger than standard set as my hands are pretty good sized, on the new...

I have the 22 mag version but with the one ten round mag I have it works good. Also hands down the most accurate mag I have shot by far.
I have tried this a few different times and seem to get some lead blowing out around the cylinder gap. I am wondering if anyone else has this trouble? I think I am going to go back to hs6 it seems to...

I'm not sure this is where this belongs but here goes, I have tried the heat treat method for wheel weight bullets by water dropping from the mold, which worked good. I sized and lubed after that and...

Got some made tonight it looks like a nice lube seems soft and tacky both which is what I was wanting. I believe I used stearic acid rather than soap, and I put a little carnuaba car wax in there for...

Looks like I'll be trying some castor oil,thanks for the help.

I was thinking about trying to make some of the Felix lube or a close version of it, and I am wondering if the olive oil would be an ok replacement for the castor oil. I haven't found any of it yet...

I've got a 4-16 center point scope that I picked up and was thinking maybe it would work for an air gun scope? The gun is a rws 34 in 22 cal and I put a vortek kit in it that seems to work pretty...

I'm trying to put together a tumbler for these ss pins, they sure look like they do a good job. The thing I'm wondering is how many pounds of pins to get, haven't made the tube yet but it should be...

I have been doing some reading on casting and saw that somebody did an accuracy test with bullet hardness as the variable. Has anyone checked the consistency of the hardness of the bullets after...
Anybody tried 300s in the 41 mag before? Saw a mold would like to try it in a 4 5/8 Blackhawk but I had trouble with a 300 wfn in 44 mag 4 in redhawk with tumbling.

If there are lights on the front then I would be wrong, can't tell if that's what that is.

Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong but the way I read the PID it can run off 120 or 240 volt power as it says 90-260 v ac/dc. So I'm of the opinion that taking the 120 off the 1-2 terminals and...

Anybody use a roller handle from inline fabrication for the Dillon 550? Are they longer than the original?
You mean I'm not the only one with a hole in his pantleg??? I thought it was a good idea to rest my 454 off my leg while trying to figure out how to shoot 'creedmoor' style. All I learned was Levis...

So what's a reasonable price on this?? I thought 250 was pretty good but no bites on it?
I also learned from this. That reading through pages like this there is always something to be learned. I have tried some of the best sounding ideas only to have them not work FOR ME and some of the...

Just put it on swapping and selling if anybody interested. I should be able to send that direct since that's a muzzleloader correct?

Anybody have any luck with these? I have a fifty and had big ideas for this, but am now thinking of sending it down the road. I have the stock hogged out for a glassed job just haven't got a good one...
I also own a 500 jrh in a bfr and when I had a scope on it and I had a good day I could shoot tomatoes at a 100. You put a better shot behind the wheel and I can believe the bfr claims that's for...

I've never cast hp or soft noses before but reading up on this makes me wonder, could you put a piece of soft lead wire in place of the pins for the hp mold and cast around that? Like I said never...

This load bullet combo has worked in the past. Maybe just pushed this lube too hard, didn't get a chance to try it in a less demanding application.
