I have the carbine in 45acp, love it. Heavy and a terrible trigger, but never fails to go bang and is acceptably accurate. For what it is, it's an exceptional value.
Really wish they'd do a...

As long as your at Harbor Freight, look at the actual motors they have. A half horse AC motor should run your tumbler just fine. Another alternative would be to source one from Ebay. Just watch the...

I have one of each, 32-20 and 25-20. Both are the earlier models with the cheese grater magazines, I have four of those and they all work for either gun. Brass is not a problem, Starline has 32-20...

Great guns! I have the original 25 cal with the Green mountain barrel. Converted to a Cothran valve and Hill guage block. Makes 75lbft with a 53 grain pellet! One hole groups at 30 feet and quiet!...
Both my Savage 23 and a custom 16" barrelled Contender carbine like either the 457240 or a Noe 260-63-FN-AR4 sized to .260" after coating. My favorite powder is 1680, 12 grains. Can't remember the...

I have a set of 380acp and a set of 9mm Lee dies. Both are carbide and in good shape. I would like $40 each or $75 for both plus whatever it costs to ship them to you.

I use a 315 grain PC'd slug in mine. Works a charm under 27 grains of Lil'gun.

As the title says, I'm looking for some pure lead, 25 to 50 pounds. Let me know what you have and want for it.

TJ's is still around and doing well. I received a 457 barrel from them a month ago and have purchased two others the last year.

I have both a 458 SOCOM upper and 7.62X39 upper. Both run fine. FWIW

I have one in 45acp, never really put it on paper. But with a red dot sight, I can fast shoot 6" gongs at 50 yards all day long. It will eat any ammo I feed it. My favorite load is a 230 grain cast...

"I assume you cast these of pure or very soft?"
Yup, use only your most pure lead...dead soft.

I have had a T/C Seneca in 36 cal for a long time, bought it new. I found early on that any slug you may cast for your 38/357 etc., will also fit in the Seneca. I like a 148 grain wadcutter in mine....

I have the Ballistic Recreations kit. It works OK, but I never knew if I had things hot enough. You don't get that nice glow in the brass. And the molten salt is crazy dangerous. Looks like water...

Would like to find a nice used Redding T-7 press. Let me know if you have one you'd like to unload.

Get yourself a big bottle of "Ballistol". The one with the spray bottle head. Also a towel and bore snake. Open and lock the gun and put it on a towel, one your wife doesn't care about. Hose the...
