Thanks! I was looking at those Track of the Wolf cards. Been making mime cutting them out with a sharpened 9mm case on a drill...

Thanks! DO you recall What powder and wads you were using?

How many grains of #9 shot can you stuff into a converted 357 Maximum case?

Spent pistol primers work really good in place of SS pins. The anvils fall out of the cups and clean the primer pockets out. They also don't get as jammed up in bottleneck cases as the SS pins do....

I've been playing with a capsule printed on a resin printer with Inland ABS-Like resin. Not brittle and all, probably more flexible than real ABS. I'm unable to break them with my fingers. It...

I prefer 10 rounds groups at 25 yards when evaluating loads for my autopistols. This gives me a repeatable group size. I work them in 0.2 gr. increments. With a new bullet, and various powders, it...

While many of us can shoot a few groups that are just as good or better than the Ransom, most of us can't do it over hundreds of rounds, any time and any day. People might claim to be able to, but I...

I can see that with things like contenders and large revolvers. However, with smaller revolvers and autos... Well, there is a reason the AMU and Bianchi Cup shooters test their ammo with a Ransom.

Does anyone know of any plans out there for a machine rest for a pistol? Something similar to the Ransom Rest?

I found this:...

Root killer solution, a copper electrode and a power supply. It's fairly easy to do. There are some youtube vids of people doing it in a really crude way. To do it accurately, you need the correct...

I love my Co-Ax for precision reloading and started making dies for it initially, but quickly found that it was not up to the task. So I ended up fabricating the press that ANeat designed.

If you...

Look into making a jacket trimmer, it's way quicker.

You could probably just make a tapered punch that could be used with the core seating die if it has a sharp...

There are different categories: Pistol, Revolver and handgun caliber carbine. Actually, there is also teh same for .22LR, but they sit the pins and the rear edge of the table, so you just need to...

It's to knock 5 or 6 bowling pins off of a table as quickly as possible. A lot of people use regular cast bullets and it you don't hit the pin straight on, it just deflects and knocks the pin over,...

That would make a wicked pin shooting bullet!

Thanks!

No, I haven't made any yet for it. I had just started toying with a few things on the Co-ax before I came across these plans. I made a simple de-rimming die for it:
...

Done!

The meplat is the tip of the bullet, it's where the ogive comes to a point.

Nearly done! I've threaded the top plate and created the adapter plug since taking this pic. Just need to bend the handle and finish machining the ram.

Yes, large rifle primers (0.210" diameter)... I was thinking about using them to cap air rifle pellets, but then I saw this thread. Small rifle might work for a 0.177 bullet., the are 0.175"...

Being able to re-use parts that would normally go to the garbage bin is very cool indeed!

Now, how about .204s from LR primers? :mrgreen:

In then end it doesn't matter which drag model you use as long as you've calibrated it to the ballistics computer and equipment you're using. As much as I like testing bullets for BC, I don't...

And how drastic was the change in BC value when the guy repeated his test a second time at the same velocity? He did run each test more than once at each velocity to ensure that the results were...

Where does he say it doesn't change at all with speed? Provide a reference... a specific page in his book.

Bryan Litz does an excellent job of quantifying BC and his method is explained very well in his books. The issue is that a good number of those people couldn't run a scientific test if their life...
