I rechecked my data on HS6 from this Summer. I was using 11 to 13 grains and getting up to 1100fps with HS6

Much hotter than I wanted or remembered. I do have several pounds of Unique I was saving...

Mainly because I have a lot more SPL brass than Magnum, but thanks. I will consider this.

Thanks, no I'm not trying to hotrod. I want to get @900 fps

I dropped a few hundred Keith type Boolits sized to .430 from wheel weights. They are 265-270 grains. I wanted to load .44SPL for my S&W 4 inch 629. The only load data I could find was using...

Wish I knew that before I trashed the pot. But my Lee dipper pot NIB from a member here at 50% off eased the pain. I'm glad if someone in the future finds this thread useful. Thanks all.

I just wet my pants. :holysheep

Gorgeous gun!

Sharp eye. Many years ago I signed up on a motorcycle forum and had to pick a screen name. rubber side down was taken. However, over the years my nickname became SPU, which was not exactly intended,...

My experience as well, Jim_p. They sent my replacement screwdriver and a bench block free and said send a check for the block after you get it. Best customer service I have received in many years

Just out of curiosity and to be sure: I want to clean out the remaining red loctite from the screw holes. What is the easiest way?

I'm honestly glad that works for you Bill. But with smaller screws, my experience has been Blue Loctite works flawlessly with fewer hassles removing hardware later (e.g. when selling a gun but...

The man at Grace said years ago they charged 50 cents to replace or regrind their products, then upped it to $1, but a few years ago the owner said it was not worth it, and free replacement made...

I got a new lever gun from Rossi. Yep, cheap, serviceable and you get what you pay for. First order of business was getting rid of the scope mount (A scope on a '92 with saddle ring?) to put the...

Basically I had to do the same thing. Poor quality control is my guess.

But, but, it's a Lyman! It must be good.

To be fair I own many Lyman products and quality is generally as good or sometimes better than other brands. But this pot is going to the dump. It is cheap...

Well, I did exactly what you should not do. **WARNING -- DO THIS AND ANY BAD OUTCOMES ARE YOUR OWN FAULT, NOT MINE**

I opened up the top plate (except the one stripped screw they installed at the...

I bought a Lyman Big Dipper as a dedicated pot for pure lead ball casting. But even after hours, it barely melts the smallest hunk of pure lead, and forget my 5 lb. ingots. Any ideas why it won't get...

I have everything gathered but a hotplate which is bought online and coming to my local big box for $16.90, but the one thing I can't seem to find is Johnson Paste Wax. Is there another brand/item...

Most excellent! I love my blued GP100. I have light maple inserts similar to that for day wear, and black walnut for evening wear. :grin:

My best shooter as well.

Barrel is permanently attached. I'm having a devil of a time measuring the lands for some reason. The micrometer slips a lot -- maybe my hands are a bit shaky, but the lands seem small to my eye....

I hope his granddaughters post again. My mother spoke of the Hurricane of '38 with awe. It remains one of the deadliest storms in US history. The stories behind the mold are fascinating. I love to...

Thanks Nobade. My micrometer measures the rifled bore at .402 from groove to groove. I'm thinking either a .395 ball with patch or a slightly oversized ball and using a ball starter to get it in for...

I am new to casting and about to finally (after getting materials and equipment together) going to start casting. I had heard all of this in different places, but never so succinctly and easy to...

On a whim I went into a pawn shop and picked up an Armsport Italian-made New Orleans Derringer replica in .41 caliber. This was an impulse buy. The bore has a slight frost near the muzzle that should...

I have a Saeco sizer. I'm new to this but wondering if someone could clarify for me: will Cramer sizing dies fit in a Saeco?
