Interesting enough, I just went thru a Hunter Safety Course with my Grandson. On day 2 the CPO came to do his presentation. He covers 5 counties in the Vermillion-Champaign county region. The new law...

I got a chance to shoot the 520's over 40gr of Varget. No. Not accurate at all and it felt worse that the single shot 12 with 3" Copper Solids. Thats with the Limbsaver pad on top of the CVA pad. The...

I loaded up a few of the 520's, 40gr Varget, 2.90 oal. I had a Limbsaver butt pad on my slug gun (Mossberg SS1 12 ga really tamed down the 3" mags) I put this over the factory pad on the Scout. We'll...

I did some trading for some 45-70 brass and with it came some Herters and WW 300 Mag case's that were straight wall. 2.5" long with an internal dia. of .458. I'm thinking they were fire formed but...

I was thinking the 520grs would just be a target type load (only have 50 pcs), I figured around 300gr would be the hunting load. The 520's do seem to be cast out of a harder alloy, might just end up...

I bought a CVA scout rifle in 45-70 for this years deer hunting in Illinois. I did a little trading and came up with 200rds of brass and some 520 gr "Money" bullets. I don't have any molds for a .459...

I water drop everything. I keep a 5gal bucket 3/4 full next to my casting table with a bath towel zip tied to the top. I let 1/2 of the towel hang down in the water to act as a funnel/anti-splash...

The casting had a high center. I tried the rubber gasket but even tightening the mounting bolts to the point of stripping the lube would leak out at the front. Just couldn't get equal compression of...

update, I milled the mounting surface flat. I'm thinking around .060. The seal plug sticks up a good bit so I'm thinking a plate made to the contour of the base, drill & tap 4 holes around the outer...

That's a good idea on the ring groove in the plate, Thanks Dan

I bought a used 450 off of fleabay. Upon examination of it I noticed the rubber O ring on the seal plug was leaking. I ordered a few O-rings and that seemed to fix the lube leaking. I trie using a...

Also when I edit a post I can change the letters but when I click save nothing happens.

That's the problem, when I go to that page there is no square or box to select.

I went to the miscellaneous file and clicked on the attachments button. It took me to a page that has the post's I used the pics in but it doesn't offer a delete button....

How do you delete pics from your "file" after using them?

It was for me.

I cut 4 aluminum plates the size of my oven racks then out marked out a grid pattern of 1"squares. Drilled them and used 3/4" sheet metal screws. They work great for HP spraying and I use the other...

Just got an Ar15 and I'd like to cast for it. At this time I powder coat all my boolits so I figure this would work for the 223/5.56. Is anyone casting the Bator 55gr? It looks like a blunt nose...

If I'm not mistaken, zinc is not magnetic. It is usually marked though.

I smelt my alloy in 100lb batch's, my go to alloy is 50/50 pure and COWW +2lbs of pewter. According to the calculator that should give a Bhn of 10.7. Using Linotype my mix is 86lb pure/14lb Lino +...

Thanks for the info, I have some Unique on the shelf. Might have to give it a go.

Thanks for the response's. I haven't had the chance to shoot these yet but I did load a few up using 4.5gr of TiteGroup. I'm shooting a Springfield XDS and thought the 180gr boolit would help...

I just got this 180gr Devastator mold and the boolits are dropping right at 198grs. My alloy is 50/50, COWW/Pure +2% pewter. Is this common? What could a person do to get them to the 180gr weight?

Looks like a Mexican news cast to me.

That Alox is a bi#*h when put in the pot, sticks to my spoon big time. I use sawdust to flux and it soaks the Alox up.
