I do like the idea of the Star, the finance minister has other ideas regarding that solution at this time. I'll go with the 1/8" rubber. Thanks for the advice its worth far more than I paid.

My Lyman 450 is starting to ooze lube out the bottom. Are there any good fixes for this?

I just put them into 3# coffee cans with a taped on label and a label inside stating which bullet it is and if it's water dropped or not. When it comes time to load ammo I'll lube what I need for my...

Old freezers can be found for as little as free. When one considers the price of a gunsafe, the difference works out to a 650 or a new whatever you need. They are also air tight so humidity control...

I dump a couple hundred .223 cases into a gallon zip-lock, hit 'em with about 15 seconds of One-Shot, shake the bag for a minute or two and they're good to go.

Drop back to about THREE grains of Red Dot Ideally the bullet will fly out the end of the barrel and fall to the ground about ten feet out.

Cousin gave me a .45/.45ACP Blackhawk for my B'day. Bought a box of cartridges and went into almost fatal sticker shock. It's been a steep downhill slide on a slick road ever since. Heck I've been...

wont the gaz check go hard again by the quenching process.....
Copper unlike steel, work hardens, but when quenched after being heated softens.

Thanks,
I have some good ideas to go on that will work with some of the powder I have on hand. I have the one mold in .358 so lighter bullets are not a consideration at present since all of my...

A friend wants me to teach her how to shoot. She is about 70 owns a 38 revolver. my thoughts are to start her with one of my Ruger Mk2s and then step up to a lightly loaded 38spl round. I have a...

It seems flimsy, I've had it bind up one time with ball. The price was right and after 12 years it's still accurate, come to think of it it leaks with ball powder but not bad enough to make me want...

Using BruceB's method I can keep my boolits within 1% weight variation, I can't shoot better than the boolits I make so I don't worry about them. That said I do try to cast as perfect a boolit as I...
