If you want to see a liberal stand totally dumbfounded, mouth agape and at a loss for words, just ask him/her to define explicitly and exactly the difference between a liberal and a socialist. I've...

I do understand that antimony does effect the growth (increase in diameter) of boolits but I just haven't seen it occur to this extent in the past. Do those shooters who compete in Cast Bullet...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I'm not sure if your answer is intended to imply that my melt may well have had copper in it or if you're simply stating a fact - that adding copper will result in an increase in boolit diameter. If...

I've been casting boolits for nearly 30 years but this is the first time I've encountered the phenomenon of boolits increasing their diameter after a couple of years of storage. To be specific, a...

After trying several different combinations of scope and Ruger rings, standard and offset, I stumbled on the Bushnell Banner 3-9 with 6" eye relief and it solved all the problems related to limited...

I have exactly the same Ruger #1 in 45/70 as presented in that auction and I have to say that the factory stocks on mine are at least equal to, if not even more finely figured as the rifle in the...

I repeatedly had the same leakage problem and went through the process of removing and replacing the O-ring three or more times before finally deciding to seek a more permanent solution. Realizing...

I've shot cast boolits exclusively in my G22 since purchasing it in the early 1990's and I have to agree with your assessment. I cast almost all my handgun boolits with my own alloy mix which is...

I've had my Howa 1500 Heavy Barrel Varmint Model in 22-250 for around 20 years and it's a true tack driver if I do my part. It's one of my favorites.

I should have known that!! But I'll bet if I asked a Libtard that same question I'd get the standard answer - 'Bush Did It!!'

I've been using 6.5gr of AA#5 for my 175gr cast boolits for quite some time, years in fact. Just picked up the latest Lyman Reloading Manual #50 at a weekend gun show and in that tome it shows 6.1gr...

Finished lubing, sizing and gas checking 250+ each of RCBS 45-350-FN and RCBS 45-405-FN that I cast the previous week. That, along with the 150 rounds of 45-70 I loaded last month (NOE and RCBS...

I'll be turning 78 in just a few short months so I remember many of the things that others have already mentioned. However, as a retired anesthesiologist, I have a few memories that are likely to be...

As has been noted, Bill Ferguson was a first rate metallurgist who was more than willing to share his knowledge. He bought out a portion of LETS (Leading Edge Tool Service) from Tom Novak quite a...
Just for reference, I generally cast with my own version of Taracorp Magnum (Hardball) alloy, approximately 92% Pb, 6% Sb and 2% Sn or as close as I can get to these proportions. With this alloy, I...
I have only one NEI mould, an aluminum 4cav .314 165gr with a DD (Dimensional Detail) band on the nose. Fortunately, I got this mould while Walt was still alive and making the moulds himself and...
Although I did not read the article on NOE moulds to which you refer, I did read the article in the August 15, 2015 issue of Handloader Magazine on the NOE 453 210 RF mould. In addition to reading...
An alternate approach to this problem is to pick up a Lyman die lock nut wrench, like the one that comes with the Lyman 450 and 4500 lube/sizers, and use a Dremel tool and a small file to enlarge...
