For what it is worth...

This, from the ROTO Metals website:

"Ingots are approximately 8-3/4" x 1" x 2" and weigh 5 pounds (+/- .25). This alloy is 16 parts of lead and one part of tin (94%...

Say more about the 1 degree compound pass. I am not sure what part of the thread you are cutting or cleaning up with that.
Also, I would enjoy seeing pictures of your set-up of the lap-in of the...

The First Saturday of each month. This Saturday, 3 days from now is the next one. If you can't get loaded for a full match by then, just bring what ammo you have and I will let you shoot some pigs or...

Come shoot the Watkins silhouette shoot east of Denver with the rest of us once a month. It's just for fun!!!

I refill mine with water so it is ready for the next batch. It is always full.
I never dry or clean it because it is always clean.

At the end of the brass cleaning cycle, I stop the tumbler....

I will let you answer that. I don't have the data to know. Just repeating. The point being, it might be something that could be manufactured without too much trouble other than shape. I think we all...

This can go into your U-IQ (useless information quotient )
Last century sometime I read that SR-4759 was chemically 4831 but without the deterrent and extruded into the short perforated stick that...

Thank you all for the many good options and info!!!
I did not know, but it makes sense that a pined Blackhawk front blade sight and a pinned ROA would interchange. I will give Ruger a try first....

Sorry to hear that. I hope you get beyond your current challenges.

So, ... you are responding to this old thread you started. (That's good!!!) Are you shooting this revolver and how did it turn out? What did you find out?

I picked up a stainless ROA in a trade and the former owner somehow replaced the issue blade with a tall hunk of SS and though crude, it works with the LEE 220 grain bullets he shot. The replacement...

This is a powder coat bullet and I assume that is how you intend to use it.
As far as advising you on design and weight, your goals for its use are not clear. As said above, for just making holes in...

A Brass mold is fine. A six cavity may be a bit of a challenge as a newer caster.

A gas check bullet without the check can be used with fast type pistol powders. There is no shortage of data...

Yes, cast. This is the only info available from IMR. It is a starting point.

Your story makes me smile! And, you are getting new people in the game.

The old IMR reloading data (LGS) counter hand out I have shows either the 150 grn or the 180 grn bullet, it doesn't say jacketed but I am sure it is assumed, 46 grns is compressed load. Again either...

If it should end up that you buy a .500 - .508" replacement barrel, there are enough correct molds around to choose from. Start by looking at Buffalo Arms to see what they have and a number of the...

I don't even think Elvis would have gone for it.

I agree with Bent Ramrod in that the alignment pins, both upper and lower look to be crazy close to the outer edges. Maybe just the photo.
I really enjoy some of these old ideal molds and their...

???????????????

Your assumption is wrong.
Why would I make expanders smaller than the RCBS carbide sizer sizes the case to????
That would void the test as you claim.

My carbide sizer die...

Good read. There is a lot in there to chew on.

All my heavy SWC molds cast heaver than stated. I have three versions of the RCBS bullet. The KT, the K and one called the SWC and a Hoch. All SWC...

I think or hope the Signature Series was the last offering and was Italian.

Apologize? Right, no need.

The responses are given in the spirit to provide help and give options.

Yes, I think you will be disappointed.
I have some longer 25 cal cast bullet molds and the accuracy isn't there in my Winchester 1892's. For years I have had plans to build a fast twist Win low...

Do you have a fast twist rifle of some kind?
