    For a really good bang, just heat it up with a torch until it flows into the brass

    You boys got it wrong. Probably work better if he had a Dillon 1050 press with the automatic bullet feeder. That Lee Press single stage is to slow.

    Looks to me your mould might need replacing. Casting a little out of spec are we? That is pretty good.

    Took me awhile to figure out, I live North of the Border, but what he is really doing here is swaging his own bullets out fo wheelweights using the case as a jacket. Am I close?

    Funny you should you mention that Bob, I spoke with a friend of mine today who works at a race car shop about giving me old lead weights they use in transfering the center of gravity in round track cars . He told me they make their own from lead they get from the local pistol range, melted down and molded into weights and I can have their old ones. Talking about recycling, from weights to bullets back to weights then to bullets who knows how many times.

    Nice Wildcat!

    Uh, you may want to do the following in order:

    Slug your bore

    Slug your cylinder throats

    Slug yourself

    if that dosen't work, disassemble your sizing die and clean and polish all surfaces thoroughly.

    Have you considered neck sizing?

    I'm woncering if anyone has seen a "go" gage to match.

    Please use a magnum primer!

    I can't stop I'm laughing too hard to eat my leftover bird sandwich.

    Best post I've seen in a while!

    I thought that was a boomerang bullet. Shoot it and it returns back to you to be recycled.
