I think it’s a counter weight that goes in the bottom of an alien flying saucer. It keeps it centered while the spaceship spins.

Got a Herters 7x57 dies set that is missing the decapping pin assembly. It appears unused in the box and is in very good condition. Includes seating dies and sizing die. No decapping rod assembly....

Love your project, although I’m not a fan of thumb hole stocks, I think you’ve got a nice looking rifle there.

Egg sinkers are good for me too. They come in a variety of sizes.
I sent Doug a Ruger NMBH 45 Colt cylinder that would group 5 shots and throw 1 shot a few inches out. After his magic it now consistently groups all 6 shots!
Thank you Doug…

Glad to see you are still pursuing your Carcano challenge. I’ve gone through a number of 6.5 Carcano’s with varying degrees of success. My latest is a Finnish stamped M38 in 7.35x51. I bought it as a...

I got new PPU brass from another user on another forum. Just got through casting a few bullets the other day and haven’t worked a load up yet. I’m using data for a 300 Savage as my starting load....

Adam, I’m shooting cast bullets with a mould I got from Accurate Moulds. It’s a 140 grain plain base. Still working up loads now.

Finally finish my 7.35 Carcano project. Please note, no changes were done to the original metal on this rifle. The stock was hacked up when I got it.

If you are a non-Star user, i.e. Lyman Lubrisizer, then custom H&I dies can be had from ammohead.

That what I did a few years ago. Ordered it thru Ace Harware. I did find a can of the liquid JPW recently. Don’t know if I’ll ever use it though. Might consider offering it up on the Classified...

Got a new Boolit for my 7.35 Carcano. It’s an Accurate Mould plain base 140 grain Boolit. BTW, I sold the stock on my Carcano. It drew so much attention I was offered way more than I paid for it. ...
Well, I had some time this afternoon and tried my two new Accurate moulds, one for the 7.35 Carcano, which I heat cycled 4 times earlier this week and the other was for my 9.3x57. Both are PB and...
I recently picked up another Ruger NMBH in 45 Colt. This one was very used, but it was the 4 5/8” barrel with only one cylinder. I sent it back to Ruger due to the .012+ gap. They replaced my...

Well I learned something that I completely over looked. Redneck Gold ingots are actually made to fit the SFRB priority mail boxes. I thought they were just another ingot and didn’t pay much attention...

My boolit casting days have slowed down considerably as time goes by. I’m 76 now and don’t shoot quite as much as I used to in my younger days. My concern is the quantity of lead that I have...
