I have been doing this for a while. I cut a small strip of zinc sheet metal (available from Amazon) and attach it to the steel part of the gun. It is the sacrificial anode. An electrochemical...

Now that's different game all together. Most likely you will have to strip the original finish and refinish because of that. It is good thing to do as non-polymerizing oil (gun oil etc) weakens...

That's +p load already? I have load with same weight cast bullet going 975fps with a little bit of titegroup. It shoots well and I thought it was a light load. Perhaps I should dial it back a...

Let the chemicals do the work. Plug the barrel with solvent and leave it overnight. Repeat till it comes to senses.

Let the electricity do the work. Electrolysis works great and fast, but you...

I assume you do want to remove the original finish. 2 methods I have used with good result.

Orange peel oil. It is pretty good and mild solvent. But it is pricey.

Denatured alcohol. It is...

Hang an aluminum tag to the steel part of the action as a sacrificial anode. It is a electrochemical trick.

I'm no expert, and haven't used Wipeout.

Looks like all 3 patches have brown in the mix. I'm afraid it is rust. The blue in the left patch is copper. The black in center patch is carbon.

Assuming a new tip is what it is needed, re-tipping is an one-hour job, even easier if you have a lathe. I did a few for customers and I only had a drill press to work with. It is certainly more...

Well, it is a bit more than that. It involves some machining / drilling, soldering, and fitting. I have done a few as replacement parts were either unavailable or too expensive. A last resort, or...

Check eBay.

If the old pin has a broken tip, re-tipping a firing pin is usually quite doable.

Or you can ream out the inside of the brass, if you can find a reamer with proper diameter. In desperation I even used neck turner to turn the brass wall thinner.

Let the chemicals and time do the work. Or let electricity do it. Electrolysis had been my killer cleaning method before I realized there were solvents much better than hoppe #9. Electrolysis...

The bulge is fine unless it is uneven around the brass (bullet seated crooked) or it impedes chambering (bullet diameter + brass thickness too big).

Looks like we have a latter case here. 2...

Not really. I don't have a pressing need to try it. But just curious to see one or two bad reviews years ago, and then nobody said anything, good or bad.

Thanks.

That is the test and review I was referring to. It happened 5 years ago when the product first came out. I wonder whether other people have tried it since. Perhaps the product has been improved.

My apology if I am in the wrong forum, and please move this post accordingly.

Friend suggested me try out a product called pb blocker. I looked it up and found a few a few very unfavorable...

Good point. I actually know him. But didn't think of that for some reason. Thanks.

I am also loading for a turked gew88. The bore was slugged to be a bit over 0.324", so I decided to use 0.326" gas checked cast bullets.

I can't cast, so I got the 190gr bullets from the bull...

I tried my hands on handloading with cast bullets for 06. Not for hunting, but for target shooting.

I learned that the twist rate is a very important factor to consider. Here are the formulae I...

Well, they are gone. The site closed down.

Is big Sarge, www.powdercoatbullets.com, reopen for business yet? The website still shows the year-old notice saying they will reopen after 8/15/2015. The date has come and gone. Hope everything is...

Thanks, guys, for information and offer. Looks like gad has the bullets for reasonable price. Will call them to order some to try.

As for the brass, I am going with fire forming 0.38 spl. It is...

Unfortunately 1: I can't cast for different reasons.

Unfortunately 2: western bullet is out of stock on 41 long colt bullets.

Thanks. Read that before already. But it doesn't mention any bullet supplier.

Got ready to reload for my colt new army DA, just to realize western bullet was fresh out of stock anything in that caliber. Doesn't seem anybody online is doing that caliber. Your suggestions and...
