Mine has "RC 11", which means RC2?

Jim

Any idea what years Star Machine Co. first made those little lubers? I bought one at the local gun-show for $20 today.

Jim

Yup, I also grind the spout down a little to fit the sprue-plate hole better. Maybe even file a small slot in the side of the hole on top of the plate ... might let any air out of the mold better.

Hummmm, think I'll stay with the flame!

Jim

Buffalo Arms has an array of cast bullets that are sized and lubed. Look them over and see if there's any you like and order a box to try in your rifle.

Jim

I'm in the NE cor, quite some distance from you, but WELCOME anyway!

Jim

If loading GG bullets, I always wipe the bullet base on a paper towel first. That makes sure there nothing on there the wad may stick to.

Kurt,

I remember that dusty Sunday morning in your post. We still had the Bucket and the Buffalo that day. Sight-setting for the Buffalo was 35 min. lt., plus 3 buffalos !

No matter the...

My neighbor has had the "lock guy" there twice since he got a push-button (IIRC) Kodiak safe. He reprogrammed the buttons both times to new numbers, still throws fits. I noticed he has a safe for...

Pretty good Ben. Hope you're good.
Missed a big Missouri buck last week, can't get them all :shock:.

Get thru that pile of magazines yet? I used a $5 bill for a page marker and I've lost it, so...

A link to guns & game?

I've used the 535 Postel in the 45/90 @ the Quigley to get an "8" pin on the 800 yd. buffalo, twice :bigsmyl2:

BACO still offers a couple of these sights. Don't know about spare parts though.

I use certified alloys and on a good day my bullets are in a spread of 3/10 for a hundred cast during the same time period, without adding any alloy to the pot. Molds used are either BACO or Brooks....

I have an SLM decapping tool, very handy and compact. Distant Thunder Mfg. also makes a small compact tool. Either one costs around $50 +-. They fit easily into your range-box for use at the range...

Clean the bore of your BPCR properly and timely and you'll not see any erosion in there in your lifetime.

St. Louis Benchrest Club, Wright City, MO has regular Silhouette matches, near Columbia, MO. They have a web-site. Great place to shoot.

I'd want to have my chiropractor friend on auto-dial, just in case, ya know :shock: !

This has me looking into all my straight-walled Starline case, new and fired a few times. None of them showed creases or stretched marks inside or outside. I will keep an eye on them though. Thanks...

Postel and Creedmore type bullets , for the most part, seam to fly ok @ 30:1 or less. Those long, skiny-nose'd money style bullets almost always need to be harder, 20:1, down to 16:1. As has been...

see one at the Thursday-nite gun auction a couple of times a year. Last one went for $350, was pretty clean older rifle.

Jim

Someone on here was Looking for grips for a Beretta 21A?

Gunbroker has them for $13.


Jim

does your OAL engage the bullet into the leade or does it allow for some movement before engaging?

Jim

some things are best left as they are originally intended.

I have a Frankfort wet tumbler and use Mauer's (SP) ceramic beads and liquid soap. An hour on the timer and the worst neglected cases are as new inside and out.
