I'd gladly pay 40 bucks for a full 5 gal bucket.

The museum at Gettysburg has an example of two Minnie Balls fused together that was found on the Battlefield.



My son (who is 13) does that with a 32 cal muzzleloader and clay birds. An ax...

I also gave you a five star rating on the youtube videos.

I wouldn't be cought dead with out my primer pocket swager.

Never having used any of them (RCBS, Lyman, Star) I was using the LEE push through. I wanted to try some Lars CR and asked another member here (Dale53) if I could lube some boolits with his star....

sounds like a call to RCBS is in order, could be that they cut it to large.

Yeap, I understand that and I don't mind buying a dedicated die for each bullet design. I have dies for single lube groove bullets, and dies for multi lube groove bullets. Besides, I get to support...

Oh yeah!!! you did good!!

I have eliminated the need to plug holes on my star dies by ordering custom dies from lathesmaith. I get them with holes in the proper location for the particular bullet I’m sizing.

This is my simple bullet catcher untill I make something more permanent.

They are only dropping about 4-5 inches into the container. No different then dropping them from the mold onto a towel or pile of cast boolits. If they do get dings I don’t really notice them, its...

No, they really don't

Watch this video, it shows it all.

I wouldn't restore it. It's worth more and I would keep it as is for its historical value.

The original charge during the Civil war was 65 Grains of black powder. Now, some others here will be able to tell you waht current powder offerings are the closest to 1861 powder.

Dale,

Same thing happened to me down at a fields with primers. Thet had two thousand LR primers for $26.00 per 1000.

The guy twisted my arm to buy both boxes.

And picking the wheel wieghts off of the old trucks while your scrounging for parts.

Thumbs up for the LEE pot and 6 cavity molds. They work great for some one starting out. I prefer using LEE 6 Cavity molds, but before you start casting, get some bull plate lube from the bull shop....

I agree!!

Sounds like you left them in the "cake" to long and the lube fully cured. try again, but don't let the lube cure. push them out while the lube is a little soft.

I bought a new one from magma about 9 months ago and I love IT! Got my dies from lathesmith and I haven't looked back! I can tell you that you will not be disapointed!

Feels good to make your own eh?

I believe it's the 358665. It's marketed towards the Cowboy action shooter. It has a large lube groove that will carry plenty of lube for Black powder. I shoot it's big brother the 452664 and it does...

If you liked the Blue Angle, then I think you will like the C red. It's what I use and stays where put.

I know what you meant, I thought the same thing when I read the sellers description.
