The WGRS is about as low as you can go. I used one on an 1894C with the factory front. Just screw out the aperture for a ghost ring.

Pretty much like I thought. Melting a Dutch oven of WW a couple inches at a time would take much longer than putting a pair of diagonal cutters on every suspect weight.

I often see it suggested that melting WW at temperatures lower than the zinc melting point would avoid the risk of contamination. Just as often I wonder how one controls the temperature on the bottom...
I can see that happening, but we are talking about slingshot “rifles” here.

I feel that giant corporate conglomerates are bad for the consumer in general. I hope that there won’t be any change in quality or service, but look at what happened to Boeing after McDonnell...

2400 straddles the line between slow handgun and fast rifle powder. I use it in .357 mag, .44 mag, .30/30 and .35 REM. One of my favorite powders. Check the Silhouette section of older Alliant...
Regards the broken band concerns… as long as your face is farther from the release mechanism than the relaxed band length, it can’t hit you. You might take a whip to your arm, perhaps some crazy...

Isn’t the C frame just a stack of sheetmetal? Can’t you drill the hole pattern you need for the attach brackets you have?

My C309-150-F engraves rifling too. The lever closes just fine and the boolits don’t pull if I want to unload it without firing.

The Lee 358-150-1R in .38 Long Colt brass. Crimped in the groove it is smooth and fast loading. Because the boolit loads so deep, it is only a few thousandths longer than the typical Short Colt gamer...

Garlic powder and onion powder always have a fresh jar on the top shelf. When I take that jar down, it goes on the shopping list for replacement.
The red dot is claiming their space. Can’t blame the manufacturers for dropping what has become a niche item. It’s all that damned profit motive.

It took me 7-10 years to get the last of my stuff out of the ancestral home. My little brother still had a fair pile of things to drag out when we settled my Father’s estate. My older brother had...

Virgin metal has always been pricey compared to scrap. I’m very thankful I got in on the front end of pewter scrounging before prices on that started to climb. I managed to put up a lifetime supply...

Try it yourself and see. Short round nose bullets are problematic in ARs.
