Wouldn't a thief steal the game camera to protect their identity? The camera needs to be at eye level and be able to send the photos to a remote location like your cell phone. It needs to be...

I have a size 32 grinder that is used for moose and pork. As was mentioned by poster #6 above, the plates and knives eventually get dull. Mine were getting a bit dull as some stringy stuff was...
I was looking for velocities of smokeless loads in 16 gauge Magtech brass. You did not include a smokeless load in your Magtech brass to make a comparison, but thank you for your data.
Thank you for reviving this thread, gondwana. I also can not follow the "no substitutions" rule as there is scant data to follow. However, I do like to be safe. I use a Crony on my Brass 16 gauge...

Have a friend with a lathe or shop make a steel die to form the A-base. It is simply a 1 Inch diameter steel rod about 3/4 inch long. With a lathe or a couple flat faced drills form a cup on the...

Yes, but it wasn't used until they had my money. You are right that when people use their religion to gain one's confidence in their "business" it should alert you to be extra careful.

I got burned by NEI. Joel took my money but did not send the mould. In spite of his "Glory to God" logo that he used to represent himself, he was untruthful and kept stringing me along.

I put your title "11.15x58R Werndl" into the advanced search and came up with many pages of fine reading on making brass for your gun. A fun project.

I'm with Wayne Smith on expanding the neck of a 30/06 to 9.3x62. I use mil brass because it doesn't say 30/06 on the head stamp. I anneal the neck and then fill the case with powder that I have...

Great idea. Now you need to convert your PID controller to modulate the gas or flow or Coleman fuel. Sarcasm! No, don't ruin your Lee pot. Go to the thrift store and buy a stainless pot to do the...

If you want authentic old west gear you probably want verdigris on your cases, no?
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Has anyone tried coating the leather that comes in contact with the bullet to prevent or slow the verdigris formation on unplated brass? That may be a doable project. Something like clear silicone...

I am waiting for over 2 years for a mould for my .32 Colt. A Joel at NEI aknowledged receiving my money order over the phone but recently they won't answer my emails. I know of another person that...
Yes, I really want to know how to load smokeless into 16 gauge Magtec brass shells but the two Handloader magazines do not deal with 16 gauge brass shells at all. The magazines list a number of 12...

Oliver, don't use a cleaning rod or wooden dowel to pound out the casting. They are too weak. Use a steel rod a bit smaller than the bore. Tape the rod every few inches so it stays centered in the...

You are not a real welcoming gentleman. Why spew dross at a new member who wants to have a conversation about our hobby?

OK Hold it right here. The muriatic acid in the above web site was suggested as a way of checking a mix of wheel weights to see if any zinc ones are present. Yes zinc would react as opposed to lead...

Nice. Nothing wrong with that set-up. It's simple and it works. Thanks for the pictures.
You could try digging some of the lead out of the back stop from your range just to see if the effort of...
So you sold it as an unused tool when in post # 25 you admitted using it. wow.
Oh, yes, he is now going to take time away from his mould making to answer questions after you publicly denounced him. I have read all of the posts above and most think very highly of his work. He...

We used mainly short 2x4 pieces of wood. My buddy and a couple other guys were enclosing the back side of our range shooting shed using recycled windows and 2x4 lumber from our local dumps...

If I were to build another one I would put the valve on the side opposite the door so that the pipe doesn't hinder loading in the wood. Also, the wood door could be located a bit higher and be...

Hello Tazza, Here are some pictures of our set up. The door to the smelter has a wire on it that will hold it open when we feed it wood. The valve has been modified to reduce splashing. Also we...

Tazza, That is how we smelted about 6000 lbs of range lead from an indoor range. Two improvements would be to use about a 12 foot chimney to get the nasty smoke away from your work area while the...
