Congrats!
I bought one, it was a train wreck, had to put a new barrel on it. Hope you have better luck than I did!

Are we about to have the teflon tape discussion, again?
I agree with 2TM101, cast some bullets.
That’s a big reduction in case capacity, pressure will be much higher in the shorter loads unless you reduced the powder charge.
You need to work up a new load.

People buy expensive equipment to show off, but also to buy confidence. That’s fine unless they don’t practice, or don’t practice effectively, and then they lose confidence and interest. You’re...

Me too, about not knowing, this was just something that I learned long ago about mixing greases and later found that it applies to oils.

The hydrogen peroxide mixed with vinegar will dissolve both lead and barrel steel, but it won’t affect plastic.

Most of the above is about mixing a lubricant with a solvent. If you’re really going to mix oils, pick oils with the same base. Mixing a lube based on mineral oil with one based on synthetic oil can...

Powder is nearly impossible to ship legally, so indicating your location might help.

Me too, all good here.
Unless it was a trap.
I stocked more primers than I’ll ever shoot, distributed across numerous locations, powder too.
Of course only for metalic cartridges and now I’m thinking about starting shotgun for which I have no...

I like the recipe from Molly Baz, it’s online.

Wearing gloves never hurts, but as long as you don’t lick your hands dry you’ll be fine. These lead compounds don’t readily absorb through your skin. Someone may have been thinking about the...
Many, many discussions on this. Use them, but as usual work up loads esp if you shoot near the top of the suggested powder charge.
