+1 for the PT1911....I have had mine for several years now. Picked her up, for just a tish past $500. No complaints, shot every thing I've ran through her. Cast, hollows, SWC, hardball and so on. I...

Yep, Clodhopper turned me on to the single coleman burner for smelting/casting....it works great.

I do small batches at a time and I really enjoy the slower pace...kinda takes the days stress...

What keeps the dish soap from leeching into the powder, after the patched boolits has been loaded into case?

Bag Balm? wonder about that...always keep a can around on the ranch.

Been thinking...

It would seem that we all can come up with stories of simliar and well meaning hearts. I too go along with a couple of post. I can't even count how many vehicles I have given away to help someone...

Thanks pdawg and barra. Bruces boolits does taper towards the metplate some, much likes RD boolits. I think if I run the patch almost half way between the crimp groove and metplate I should be...

AS mentioned in another thread, I am just now inching my way down the 'roll you own' trail. This has be a good thread for me to read also.

For me, I will be shooting bullets cast from Bruce's...

Been wondering about the same question.....I am ever so slowly, inching my way to roll my own. I will be using bullets from Bruce's 462-465 GC mold in my Guide GUN. I know I will need to size her...

I have to admit, if I was going to be buying my first 1911 as an entry level gun, I sure would consider the ruger 1911....about the same price as my PT1911....but made in the USofA. At the time I...

I have the Taurus PT 1911 and for my applications, its just fine. I purposely did not want a "tight' gun. Though my PT 1911 is pretty tight for me, barely any movement on slide/frame at all. I...

Hey there, plus one on th Taurus PT1911. Mine cost right at $500, and I very please with her performance and reliability. I know that Taurus gets a bum rap at times, but my PT1911 has been a solid...

I now have Skinner's Tatatical rear sight on my Guide Gun and I am very satisfied with it. Prior to that one, I had the standard Skinner's peep for the 1895 in brass. Worked well. The design is...

You guys and gals are so GREAT!!!! 8-):-):wink::D

:):-D8-):razz:

I think my boolits have been sneaking snacks on the side....when no one is looking.

Their girth looks a little larger then when I put them to bed.:-?

Gosh....I just want to copy and paste all of you guy's and gal's responses....:grin:

So....am I a redneck caster, if I use bacon fat from breakfast, for my groove lube?
and....could the bear...

OMG....your're responses have been great! Not quite the direction I was heading in. Wasn't really thinking of the paralells to us older casters.

But.....if castboolits are like their...

Thanks Jim, don't mean to ruffle any feathers. I admire you and all on CB that have the talent and abilities to create 'stuff'. Sadly, I am not wired that way. I sure do enjoy tearing things...
