Very nice effort and great result. My kind of project. Any reason you didn't go with the rimless 44 Automag? Brass is pretty easy to form from .308 or 30-06 and should be able to use a standard...

If it's like my Remington Peerless, a socket mounted hex won't fit down the hole. I would suggest cutting off a 6mm hex key and having somene weld it onto a section of 1/4" rod from the hardware...

Any specific reason not to PC? Seams a lot of people are doing it with no negative affect on accuracy. Not dead set against using lube but my understanding has always been that the lube has...

Fair comments Larry. I didn't expect to fall into success, because like you mentioned, if it was easy everyone would be doing it. I am going to give it a try though, even if i have to reduce range...

Thanks, that is definitely one that I was not aware of. Can't seem to find a dimensional print for it on the site, how long is that bullet? I'm concerned with how deep it would be seated to fit in...

Looking for been there done that suggestions for an accurate cast bullet at better than moderate velocities in the AR. I'm hoping to shoot more this season and part of that is reducing cost by...

Buy a micrometer and learn how to use it. Micrometer, not a caliper. Doesn't have a be a $200 one. A decent used 1" one can usually be had for $20-$40. If it has a tenths scale so much the better,...

I just got a 16" 300BO upper assembly from Palmetto State for $230 without the BCG. I already have several lowers so this was the cheapest way for me to get going. Depending on the shops you have...

I've got one from a SA M700 if that would fit your 600. I'm not sure how close the 600 and 700SA were.

I have the one that fits the L46 and L461 dovetails if that is the one you are looking for? There are two styles I'm aware of, one being the older for the L46 and a newer more boxy version. Is the...

Now you’ve got me thinking. I’m using an original H&I sizer that apparently cuts as much as it sizes. There seems to be a shoulder involved. Seller I got it from here said that can be honed out to...

I haven't heard from NOE but it's holiday season. I can give a small quantity of the Sage checks a try. Thanks for the reference.

I put in an email to NOE. I've got three boxes of these checks that all look like they are from the same time frame and have same price tag stickers. I think before I modify the mold, I'd try a...

I've cast my first bullets out of a NOE 287 - 150 FN silhouette four banger that I picked up here several years ago. Didn't look like it has been use much if any. The nose and main diameters look...
