Thank you for all the helpful responses everyone!

I tried to line the barrel liner up with how it sits in the shroud. The liner itself isn't ported, it's shorter than the shroud so the crown is before the ports from the bullet's perspective. In...

I have this Dan Wesson Ported 357 Magnum barrel and was always curious if it's factory or modified. Any thoughts? Does anyone know what it might be worth either way? Thank you!

I think the jacket would heat up pretty quickly in a mold or you could use the standard practice for heating your mold once the jackets are in it - might slow it down a little.

Blackthorn - are...

I was picturing being able to drop jackets into a mold and cast lead into them or something along those lines. Hoping someone may have some inexpensive tricks or techniques for us!

Has anyone cast their own Hot-Cor jacketed or bonded jacket bullets? It sounds possible and interesting to me. I'm sure there are many reasons to just use cast boolits instead of adding steps and...

If you specifically want one in 454 casull $900 isn't bad. I would pay that for sure if I saw one locally because everyone wants to produce higher demand rifles and prices are going up. Could be a...

As others have stated, they're simulation rounds. They usually shoot out "paintballs" not really spherical though.

This is exactly what I was going to respond. I used a 30-06 die that was set up like this when I got it and kept getting cases stuck, ripping the rim or neck off, or stretching the neck longer. I...

I've had a few of that generation full sized XD 9 and 45 with no issues at all. Used one for 3 gun for a while too. Upgraded sights could be desired if it doesn't come with night sights but as far as...

Onshape is a newer free 3d program that in the 2d sketch and 3d modeling environments are a lot like Autodesk Inventor or SolidWorks. Very very powerful free program. It might take some tutorials to...

Wow, I ended up with a 45-70 collar button mold last year but sold it thinking there's no way it would be accurate. Now I wish I kept it. I still have 50 or so cast that came with it that will now...

I have made magnets by trimming the case so the inside is the same depth as the magnet thickness. The magnets are just smaller than the i.d. of the case and hot glue them in.
I've also made belt...

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure he was glad to have so many great years to spend with you making new memories.

Very nice conversion. Any chance you have any left over barrels? The auctions I was watching on eBay went higher than I thought they would. If I don't end up finding a donor barrel I'll build out a...

This is awesome. I really want to make one of these this summer now!! I'd love to see it in action. The other post about rolling a tire got me thinking of putting the target in the center of the tire...

I carry a Ruger Alaskan 454 Casull with 325gr jacketed buffalo bore whenever I go near my bear spot and it's rarely the only gun I go out with after seeing how fast and far black bears bolt after...

You were able to use the bolt from one and barrel from the other? That sounds promising to me. I would think the 740 would be similar to the 760 because they were developed closer in time.

I have a Remington 760 that I was considering making a second barrel for. Does anyone know if a Remington 740 uses the same barrel extension as the 760? Looking at pictures they look the same, have...

Congrats on pulling the trigger on the Max9. I got hooked on the P365s and didn't have a chance to check out the max. Looks like a great gun, the 12rd mags should be comfortable and reliable with the...

I've taken many a courses in drafting and 3D modeling in the current 3D modeling programs like SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor and use them on a daily basis for work. They are very easy achieve high...

Congrats on ordering the new gun. I've heard great things about them from a couple people I know that own them. Really like the idea of 500 s&w or 454 casull from a lever gun. I hope to add one to my...

I got some bullets from a newer local company called Slippery Bullets and they weren't quite glitter but speckled with what I assumed was mixed powder. Maybe high contrast colors would work. Or...

Thanks for the reply, I felt like that might be the case for the non serialized ones. Someone once told me that my S&W Pre-17 should have had magna grips so I wasn't sure how much detail the books...

I have several boxes of s&w factory takeoff grips from older revolvers. I'm wondering if the S&W books provide info that I may need to identify them in order to sell them. I have the basics down like...
