hey Rhino that burlap idea is great. It should resist bounce back and let the brass fall into the catcher. Cool idea, like to see what other have come up with too. Dip net sounds pretty creative.

Thanks Rhino,
Its a great brass saver when sitting but I am working on another that will save my brass when Im shooting off-hand and portable. I found an old minnow seigning net at the flea market...

Could have been another 6" deep they bounce occasionally but all in all it catches 99%. I slit some carpet to buffer the brass and it generally falls straight down.

The seat is in need of...

When I shoot my .454 CasulL and my other revolvers off a rest and find nothing under my hands gets me the most repeatability. Also damage to elbow and shoulders goes along with the big bore handguns...

Squaw Candy is just really ripe salmon, smoked, a bear can smell it 10 - 59 miles away, not to be taken with you hunting. We would trade with the natives our fresh caught for some candy on the way...

I recall a big lake at Illliama and boy does that picture bring back some memories. I grew up outside Anchorage and left during the Viet Nam era never to return (some regret).

My neighbor came up with an idea whether his or someone else's don't know doesn't matter but it works. He uses a 5 gallon plastic pail and packs it full of rubber mulch and reattaches the lid. The...

while casting some WW's I experienced about 5 gr.'s of variation in bullet weight. Can someone give me some insight to what I can do to get to closer to 2 or so grains.

Rockford Rams Products made the Model 30 Rockwell hardness testor. They were located in Rockford Illinois. Ain't that a mouth full!

I have a 30-R with no manual. Working on that currently without much success but anyway, I have a number of questions.

Can anyone tell me if the HRB scale is reflecting Brinell hardness?

thanks guys,

The new mold I was looking at was a 6 cavity and the hanging burrs were very evident. Not a big deal I suppose for the cost an hour of prep is tolerable. It was just machining...

I read the Lee-Menting thread its really well done.

Question:The 2 surfaces or cavities halves, the faces that contact when the mould is closed there is nothing that should be applied to those...

I would like to pour some 9mm and can someone point me to mold preparation instruction? I will use a Lee mold that I do not have yet. 115gr swc

What is the Plunk Test?

Very interesting the OP made reference to wadcutter Im thinking possibly he meant SWC? I have thought about trying some 148gr .358 WC's but from what I read they would not chamber. Can you shed some...

Dumb question how do you apply the 50/50 lube?

Sounds like something I can try for sure. I'll do it and lets see if it helps. Thanks

I think the .357 may be to big. Leading right away. I started with 4.3 grains of Unique shot five and and lead traces were obvious. I cleaned it loaded up with 4.7gr and shot a string of 10 and there...

Thanks guys.

Question. In my 47th edition of my Lyman reloading manual looking at load data for 9mm lead bullets the nearest to the lead I want to load (124gr RN and 126SWC) is 121gr RN bullet which is under and...

I found a place called Dardas Csst Bullets that will provide a SWC or TC at .001 over the slugged dia. Good prices. Thanks for the feedback that was fast. Ill try 100 at .357 and see where I end up....
