I am going to upgrade the Texas Rigs on my duck decoys this spring/summer. My intent is to use 3/32 cable in place of the monofilament line I have been using. This means I will need to bore out my...
Interesting. I would like to hear more as I was not aware of this. Of which County Attorney or Attorneys do you speak? If you could give me some cases I could inquire about I would be even more...
I use the Dunn Sharpening System on my 8 inch grinder. Every knife in my house is sharp enough to shave with, without even any pull on the hair as they cut. My fillet and skinning knives are as...

The above is the halfway mark of a 7-8 inch stick. I doubt I would get more than 1.5 inches.
This works. It is what I am currently doing. I am looking for something that would turn...

Are you (or anyone) aware of this happening with Jake's Purple? I looked up emulsification, but was unable to determine if this is something that can happen with any lube, or whether it is something...

The hole runs all the way through the center, minus about 1.5 inches towards the base of the stick.
I probably just haven't found the right temperature yet.
Forum: Boolit Lube !
The reason I am pouring my own sticks is because the 1.5 inch sticks I purchased are putting too much air into my luber and it is turning the lube white and puffy as it injects the lube into the...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I have begun trying to pour two inch lube sticks for my luber. The problem I am running into is that a hollow cavity appears in the center of the stick as the lube cools. This happens regardless of...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
Luckily, my luber takes 2x6 sticks. Part of the reason I will probably have to recast all of the lube I have is that the sticks I am working with are 1 5/8. The extra air space is putting too much...

Unfortunately, with my big sizer this would cause a huge mess and a lot of down time. It works great with my Star though, as long as I don't put too much in.

Thanks folks. Since I already have some stuck in a tube, I will go chuck it into the freezer for a few hours and try pushing it out.
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I am remelting some hard lube into sticks to use in my sizer. I used pvc as a mold for the lube, but as the lube has cooled it is sticking to the sides of the pvc to the point where it won't be...

Thanks gents. I will ask a few questions about seating next time I run into one of the guys experiencing difficulties.

I have been hearing that some of my 205 grain 45 boolits have been hanging up after about 40 shots. Neither shooter has seen evidence of leading. One uses identical Two Alpha bullets (lubed with...

Done. Go to the bottom of the results, before participant info.
The responses I have gotten to my queries seem to indicate there is not a correlation between the jump in numbers on the...

OK. I am going to be super busy this week, so I sat down and figured this out tonight. Information can be found at the following link.
If I missed a piece of personally identifying information...

spreadsheet and very initial intro and analysis is done. I have been fighting getting it posted for a good part of the evening. I will not be home tomorrow, but will give it another shot on Monday....

No request of that kind at all. High test value from you all was 35 and low was 10.5. Most testers grouped together. As pointed out by one of you in their notes, it is likely they have different...

In order to head off follow up emails that are beginning to come in, below is a list of cities I am waiting to hear back from. As you can see, I am almost there. I should have had more foresight...

Ok- have been away since Saturday night. I am putting together the info that has shown up since then. I will post a list of what I am missing after I go through everything. I have gotten a few...

I have a ton of molds that came with the caster when I purchased it. I may be able to make part time money casting someday, but right now it is just an expensive hobby that has cost me much more...
