I sent your post to a friend. He replied with this:

So, when a cop shows up at the door wanting to see a particular gun, what obligation does a person have to show it to him?
I wonder if any of those with confiscated guns have bumper stickers that...

Thanks, Buck! I just might have to try this thing out. I hate watching rabbits flop after shooting them with a 22.

Thanks for the link!
How does this gizmo work? I assumed from previous posts that it was a die of some sort that screwed into a reloading press. From the pics on Paco's site though, it seems...

I got one of those Ruger carbines at a gunshow a couple years ago at what seemed to be a real bargain. As has been mentioned, it wouldn't feed. Shot GREAT as a single shot, but wouldn't load the...

44Man, I guess we should all be thankful for your presence. Not only can you tell us what standards we should meet, you also have the final answer on how we should cast, size, lube, and reload. No...

I think us old timers can learn something from the comments by both Chunkum and Cayoot.
Back when we were debating whether to grow the foum or keep its membership small, my comment that a large...

Newtire, I haven't done a lot of experimenting with the alox-moly, so I can't say what the "best" way of trying it would be. I've added a bit of moly powder (maybe 1/8 teaspoon) to about 10 lbs of...

If you were asking me, JR, no. I thin the alox with mineral spirits, roll the boolits in a plastic container to coat them, dump 'em in a big aluminum foil turkey pan about one or two boolits deep,...

6pt, you really might want to consider opening up a Lee sizer yourself. Not to take business away from Buckshot (who does GREAT work), but it only takes a few minutes to "custom size" your own...

"Blasting them with hot dry air from a blow dryer ought to work just fine, dry being the operative word here..."
That's good. You had me worried there for a bit.

Forum: Cast Boolits
SkyC, the solution is as simple as thinning the alox and making sure it's dry before you load the boolits.
Or, you can listen to people who've never tried it but who have opinions they insist you...

"...LA works OK for light loads but the loads would most likely work with no lube too. Smoking the boolits would do as good. WAY over rated and the lazy mans lube!"
Yep, can't argue that. It IS...

That's ok, 44man, you don't need to apologize for not being able to use Liquid Alox. Those of us who like the stuff really don't mind that you can't use it.

"...I was only using the polyurethane for an example."
Yep, I realize that. And I'm just saying that I KNOW that a hair dryer speeds up the dry time for Lee Liquid Alox. Heat and moving air make...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Polyurethane is sorta like epoxy in that it is a two-compound material. Alox doesn't use any sort of chemical reaction to dry, it just dries out.
Having used the hair dryer method, I can say with...
Forum: Cast Boolits
So Versifier, you're saying that in your experience, using a hair dryer SLOWS the drying process? That COOL and dry is faster than WARM and dry to cure Liquid Alox?
Forum: Cast Boolits
Try cutting the Liquid Alox about 1:1 or 1:2 with mineral spirits. Use a hair dryer to speed up the drying process in an open pan. If need be, sprinkle some motor mica on the boolits before...

Thanks, Joe! I googled and came up empty, 'preciate you finding that article.

I haven't done this with brass, but you might try using one of those plastic mesh bags that onions are sold in at the grocery store. It's worked for me in a washing machine with other things. Just...
