I keep a screwdriver handy and just give the shaft a little twist (mine has a screw slot in the top) and it stops dripping, I did have it stick open once when heating it up when full and cold and it...

I wish I could find a few things like that to sell on Ebay "I'm not sure what it's purpose was" but someone wants it bad
I am more likely to try and sell the things that dont sell at a $.10 min bid

the laser thermometer you mentioned in post #14 has a range of 4* to 518* F

I like your site it is informative
if you dont mind the sugestion you might stress the adding DRY wheel weights when smelting or mentioning what happens if you get water in the lead, I...

I think a single burner (like a turkey roaster) with a wind shield would be the best because it will have a higher btu burner on it

also if you use a single burner, if it is not getting enough heat to the pot of if there is a wind blowing you can put a shield around it to help the heat concentrate on the pan (just dont block too...

I was thinking about using one of the propane burners from a turkey roaster and a 5qt cast iron duch oven and a large ladle, it probably would not do 2000 lbs a day but it would do more than my...

your 180gr hornady cowboy over 8 gr unique should be giving you about 1119 fps asuming you have about an 18" barrol and your pressures should be down around 5731 psi
if you get a chance to...

the only problem with shortening your cases is you are decreasing the space of powder and in doing so you are increasing the pressures so you will need to keep an eye on things,
as a comparison I...

if that is a 6 cavity it could spend its time out in my garage to see if I can get it to cast right, actually if you want to sell it I might be enterested

the 10 gr Bullseye should give you about 1350fps and is just under max pressure at 32745psi (36000psi being max) pressure will verry depending on seat depth on your bullet, and that is without any...

also alchol will clean the stuff up so having a few of the little wipes (like they use when giving you a shot ) is very handy for clean up, the only thing I did not like about it was the nose of the...

I have run mine through a rcbs sizer and they worked fine, the only time they might give you problems is if you are trying to get high volicity out of them, they will probably start leading the...

the Lee manual does not list unique for that bullet but for the 250 gr lead bullet they list 7.6 min and 8.0 gr max at 850 fps and 11800 cup

in the lee manual it says 3.8 gr to 4.3 gr unique, with 4.3 gr you get 920fps and 16000psi
in the second edition it lists a +p at 4.3 to 4.5 with 950 fps and 17100psi

are you trying to feed it in a 92 or a 94?
oops I just read your post again and yes I think the ruger is actually a little shorter than the winchester 92

well I am having to guess at the seat depth, but at a depth of .358 8.2 gr is sitting right at max pressure it is 15743psi (max is 15954 psi) and it should give you about 958 fps

if you are using...

also depending on how hard you want your boolits you can drop them in a bucket of water which will harden them but it will also keep them from bending

depending on barrel length and seat depth the 4gr load should give you about 745 fps and a chanber pressure of about 12621psi (max pressure being about 21756 for the 38)
as a comparison the 5.1 gr...

another method that works is to have 2 molds going, fill the first one set it aside, fill the second,set aside open the first refill and set aside and open the second....
I find the lee molds cast...

have you tried using the computer program "quick load" for figuring your pressures, it has an option that you can tell it what seating depths to use, I dont have anyway to check their pressuers for...

also Lee recomends that you use a match or lighter and smoke the inside of the mold to help it dorp the bullets (hold the match or lighter cloce enough to the inside of the mold to blacken the bullet...

it should in a winchester 94 but I think the nose is too long for a winchester 92 as is the Lee 300 gr

I have the same mold in 2 cavity and 6 cavity, it seams to be a great plinker, I have a lyman lubsizer but I have also used the lee tumble lube and their sizer and they seamed to work good, the only...
