my BFR destroyed a burris. It wears a Leupold now.
its all too bad. The eye relief even on the EER scopes is poor when the mag is high. It's a really tough design to make, I guess. Definitely...

Are arsenal molds as good as noe and accurate? Looks like thats where the ranchdog ended up?

I’m stretching the legs on my .32 SS Bisley. Shooting 117gr dowels:

GREAT bullet. But opens up past 50 yards, shoots as good at 50...
Actually I do that ALL the time. With round objects > 1/4". And the jig is always oak with rosin.
but I figured the oak couldn't grip such a small shaft? And you say Aluminum, wouldn't that be a...
Thank you! Any alternative to a leather wrapper plier? That always gives me heebie-jeebies the few times ive used that method.
Cylinder of my LCR is too tight, cylinder can’t rotate freely. Penetrating oil isn’t doing the job, so I figured to pull the cylinder and clean and grease the surfaces.
Well, crane comes out but...

You don’t have to be good. Thats the beauty of angle ingot molds. Just weld up the outside and the inside just works. Have the angles cut to the same length and its a slam dunk. Have at least 3+...

Cast 100 lb at a time. Turkey fryer and 12” dutch oven. Ladle into molds. 100 lb batch keeps the uniformity decent.
I shoot TC’s too. My neurotic bullet rejection is limited to those without a smooth transition from meplat to full diameter. SWC doesn’t have it, but lfn, wfn, tc, even some hammerheads do. For me,...

When you cook charcoal you make airspace a minimum right?
I have a 5 gallon metal barrel I got with a clamp on lid that seems maybe fit for purpose except it is actually king of huge for my needs!...
Damn. I understand the response in concept, but they call that LIGHT chatter? It was cut with pinking shears!
Maybe cast with it to prove the bullets come out poor in quality (or not come out at...

Ok. Just like youtube. A can in a can.
For YOUR setup, do you pile the burn wood up the sides of the charcoal can or just below the grid?
Or do you start it under the grid and add more on the...

Do you guys cook charcoal in a doublewall setup like the youtubers? Or is there a simpler way for us?
I voted 5, but I bought and shot an FN for the 20 round reason. really like that gun.
FOR ME...
I really do not like bullets with a "shoulder"(?) for revolvers. Maybe its mental voodoo on my part, but I always prefer a smooth transition down the nose from meplat to full diameter. I...
Too big for my goals Froggie! but it is VERY tempting to have such a generous cylinder!
I bought a single six based on the great advice from this thread:

So the Ferminator bullet looks pretty awesome, but it does have that super long nose. Anything shorter? like down to even 0.2" long for the nose? (Really short nose)
Yeah, I just found a flat top SS on the bowen site. He suggests welding was involved. Done with that idea! I love customizing Rugers but my skill does not extend to tig-ing more material onto...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
If I’m going to visualize a reloading problem that is guaranteed to happen, I’d rather shave lead than have charging issues go unnoticed, the prevention of which is what is gained by combining seat...
This is actually a major halting point for me. I really dislike adjustable sights. I like to file off the front sight of my fixed-sight rugers, add a dovetail, then shape my own from a blank. I’m a...
I’d like to take a closer look. The ferminaror is exactly the design I said in post #1. So that, or similar if the nose is too long.
I think you’re supposed to crimp into the BOTTOM crimp groove so that you have virtually the entire case available to fill with H110.
You guys sorted me out good on the last 327, so I want your guys opinions again!
I want another revolver. I kinda want one in 327 again (single seven is calling to me), but I also realize I would...

I used to get heavy lead shavings. But then I discovered (from this site!) Lyman M dies, and that put a stop to that right quick.
A well adjusted case bell via M-die with a well adjusted seat die...
