45 Colt can be loaded to some pretty stout levels, but 357 is so versatile. I have both and shoot my 357 much more. Get more bullets from a given pound of lead, got several different molds, anywhere...

What about a heavy bullet mold for .223, then ream out the lube grooves? Could that get close to the 55gr that is standard for an AR? That way you could cast and load rounds that could duplicate...

I used the broken handle of a hammer upside down. Wrapped the end with friction tape for a grip and the other end wrapped with a thick rubber tape, then several layers of aluminum tape and then...
I picked up one of those a few weeks ago. Has become my every day carry, it just fits my hand so well, points naturally for me, I can hit what I aim at with it. Got me some of the nasty 158gr GCHP +P...
My best mold purchases were at a small gunshow at a local NG Armory last year. Got a 4 cavity H&G #50 and 4 cavity #68 for $75.00. I thought he wanted $75 each and I was going to buy one, then he...

We have an assortment of those in our hangar, 100lbs down to 25lbs. Steel shell outside and there is a hole on the side where you can see the lead inside. Ours are soft enough to scratch the exposed...

Frankly I am getting sick and tired of the people with no jobs staking out the stores and buying up all the 22lr then reselling it for double. At least I bought a box or two a month for a while years...

My dad always wanted to get an extra cylinder for his .30 Carbine Blackhawk and make a bottleneck cartridge out of a 44 Magnum chambering. I dont know if it has ever been done before, he never did go...

I asked too soon, got it today and it looks great! Hopefully I will get a chance to try it out this weekend.

A takedown BLR in 308 with a barrel mounted "scout" style scope setup is on my short list of firearms to still purchase. I have pretty much what I need, now am in the cool to have or fun to shoot...

I thought there was some new source of scrap lead for us to be scrounging.
Last year, I was at a small local gunshow and stumbled across a couple of H&G four gang molds. #50 wadcutter for my 38 spl plinking and #68 for a 45 ACP. He told me $75, and I thought that was a fair...

Forgive my ignorance, but what are screwbolts?

Somebody has been reading Unintended Consequences I see. :)
Great book!
Grab em!
I found the exact same deal last year at a small local gunshow. Two perfect conditions 4C H&G moulds with handles for $75. One was the good old 38 spl wadcutter and the other was the 45...
Does anyone have a photo or diagram of how the trigger, cyl hand, transfer bar and stupid little wire spring go together?
I picked up an old Iver Johnson top break hammerless 38 S&W a while ago. The nickle plating was coming off and looked terrible but actually shot okay. I have come up with an oversized mold and have a...

Sounds like they screwed it up but it is exactly what I am looking for! I have an old Iver Johnson 38 S&W that needs .362-.363 diameter boolits. If you want to sell it, I would be happy to take it...

I wonder how many sailboats will be scrapped out after hurricane Sandy? If I lived closer to the east coast, I might be exploring some boat yards.
You don't want to know what I paid for two H&G San Diego 4C molds, a 50 and 130 a few weeks ago then... Lets just say I paid less for both than one would be worth by itself.
Those are some great...
