Don, heads up--Forster has the 'factory' curved jaws on sale for $20, plus tax and shipping ($27 total shipped to ATL). They are cosmetic seconds. The set I received had some verysmall blueing...

IMHO, those are little bits of history! Suggest keeping instead of tossing them.

Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery!

This was/is an interesting read and insight into a bit of firearms history. Thanks for posting, everyone!

Great job, IMHO. Not only does the rifle look great, but you probably created a life-long memory for your son. I look forward to hearing how it shoots.
Forum: Our Town
LOL! Too true!! However, I'm as guilty of doing the same thing as anyone else. ;)
Forum: Cast Boolits
Those boolits are too pretty to shoot!
Mosin’s are a lot of fun—good luck!

The Classic Cast Turret press has served me well for a lot of years and many thousands of rifle and pistol rounds. It is very durable and is very versatile. Highly recommended, IMHO.

+1 I've had excellent service from them for a long time.

I've really enjoyed reading about this project and seeing the pics as it came together. Good luck with the test firing! :)

Thanks for the reply & I’m glad to hear all is okay. My SIL lives in San Diego and said they didn’t much impact from the storm either.

Randy,
Sorry to hijack this thread, but I just heard there was a magnitude 5.5 earthquake 2.5 miles from Ojai. I hope all is well with you and everyone in and near Ojai.

Happy Birthday!!! I have the same pot (bought it years ago) and mold and they have given me great service for a long time. I hope you enjoy your BD gifts!

+1 Suggest reading the comments at the end of the article for some thoughtful reasons this cartridge may actually be of some practical use.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Color me curious about this as well. It’s very confusing (to me) which set one needs to measure revolver throats as well as the general knowledge of which type of pins are used in particular...
Forum: Hunting with CB's
IMHO, centershot hit the nail on the head. Weirauch air rifles are very high quality, well made, and will last for generations—well worth the money. Their quality makes them a joy to use.

Many thanks to Bent Ramrod (and everyone else who chimed in) for this very interesting thread.

With respect, in my experience the leverage available with the spline tool as designed is more than sufficient. YMMV, however.

It’s a really nice press, IMHO.

Thanks for resurrecting this old thread. I need to convert some .308 brass to .358 WIN and this info has been helpful.
