    I must be missing something or getting a crossed line, but when I hit the link a couple of bands on stage come up. I've been at the range all day and it is almost hot enough to melt ingots on the driveway, I'm hot and pooped, maybe not just sharp enough this arvo.

    [QUOTE=44man]The steel clip will help orient the boolit so you can chamber it exactly the same shot to shot.

    CLIP?? I always thought that was the gas check!! Question though?? Is the clip legal in California, kind of looks like the dreaded banana clip!!!

    Now load it full of the fastest powder ya got, preferably powder from G.I. blanks, make up a bunch of em, & call in Janet Reno, the Brady's, the Clintons, the Kennedy's (especially Ted) & don't forget the rest of 'em. Have them each touch one off with a BFA on the end of the barrel. (blank firing attachment for the non-military) Don't forget the pix!!

    I thought that those steel cored (clipped) ones were illegal in the US. What is the BC on that projo anyways?

    Have you sent this picture to Lee yet??

    Not sure where I saw it.

    But sometime ago there was a picture of a guy with a m/L, mallet, ww, rag & patch knife all in the proper sequence.

    Thought that was funny too.

    Knife in his teeth, rag over the muzzle, ww on the muzzle and mallet dropping.
    "drive a chunk in, cut the patch=====!!"

    Humor huh?

    MT Gianni:

    I know what you're thinking. "Modified Speer Hot Core process". The problem is that that wheel weight probably doesn't contain enough antimony to keep it from shrinking when it cools. The then-undersized slug would not seal the bore and subsequently allow enough gas blow-by to coat the bore with lead micro-droplets. The second and subsequent shots would not be adequately spin stabilized, causing embarassment and possibly pecuniary liability for the shooter.

    Having said that, Thanks Harpman, for a truly excellent photo.

    Have to agree with Vegas Vince on this one, more force will cure it. While a long sectionof pipe on the handle might be a good start (say another 5 feet), I would give into a real swaging press before I added 2 feet of pipe.

    Now if I only had that much imagination...........
