Found my new best friend who had a tire shop for years.
Sold me 300 pounds of WW ingots poured from a cup cake tin for $1.00 per pound!!!

I had the same feeling last year. Didn’t know I was going to like the 45-70 so much when I started.
The painful lesson you are going to experience is the costs of brass. I cast and have scrounged...

I look at these strange times a little differently. I try to be sure my personal stash is abundant in anything I need. But if I cross paths with a good item and it’s priced right, I simply buy it. I...

My comment doesn’t help for your platform much, but I’ll second the Trail Boss powder use for atleast your problem.

If that had a threaded barrel, I’d be all over that model like stink on a monkey!
Congrats on a super looking child there.
I’ll have to settle for the ugly X model.
Not sure if this logic applies but here goes.
44 magnum pressures and 45-70 chamber pressures can be very similar. I can’t see putting up my LPP supply and not run any 45-70’s anymore if I’m out of...

Don’t forget that the RCBS and Lyman lubesizers can also gas check for you too with the little seating tool they make.

Yup, we sure did get some of that…. Power stayed on. Had plenty of firewood to burn. Had our bread and milk. We were ready for it.
Huh, who would have thunk this would turn out to be a real mystery!
I’m very inspired to fire up a pot and pour me some now! I’ll post pics of what this baby drops.

It took some calling, asking, and digging in my area (very rural) but I located a beekeepers group. Within that small group I was pointed to the largest producer who happened to be the president. All...
I’ve seated to an OAL of 2.78” and it feeds from the Ruger magazine nicely. I’m sure that long stick is well below the neck. But I sure can not argue with how it prints holes.

I have several thousand 308 steel case 147gr fmj Berdan primed surplus ammo sitting around from years ago. Not a fan of it unless I was just making dirt fly, which I don’t do anymore with the cost...

Called today in my location, 1.00 # for WW. They claim it is true lead WW. I’ll have to go there next week and put some eyes on it to be sure. It seems high now, but like everything these days, I’ll...

I use to cast 9mm and 45acp in the early 90’s just for economic purposes. 10 cent a pound scrap yard lead, 10-11.00 per pound powders, .03 per case brass, and 12.00 per 1k primers……yeah, those days...

Thanks fellas, lots of great intel here. Now that the southern weather has broken a bit, I can try some of these techniques out and get my beloved stash rendered in nice yellow bricks!

I was lucky enough to snag about 25#’s of semi filtered bees wax. It’s in various shaped slabs and chucks with the bottom layer of the pieces more concentrated with darker debris. I’d like to filter...

Will or can the decamping pin move the anvil of the primer possibly dislodging the primer compound?

Now I need to chase up a mold for my Cz 527 in the triple deuce. I stayed away from .22 cal molds as I mainly saw poor results, I can work with your results!

I’m not aware of a Henry with a threaded barrel in the 750.00 price range. Unless I’m looking in the wrong places, the Levtac is the cheapest deal for threaded tactical “exercise rifles”.
