I've been handloading for Win. 308 for about 38 years, and my two favorite powders are H-335 and IMR 4064.
I don't see that it would be a problem. The dies are the same size as reloading dies. The ejector could actually be removed during the upstoke of the ram, then inserted after the handle is lowered if...
That might work, but it would have to be drilled very small, and would extrude through the shell holder and into the primer ejection slot in the press ram. Since I use pure lead cores, it might also...
It's a 35 year old Rockchucker. It has all the power needed, and my new Lee Classic Turret does as well.
Not to take business from Bullshop or Imperial, but I've used a very good substitute for years. It's "Smiling Mink" boot waterproofing. I've used it to size brass to smaller calibers, swage bullets,...
They haven't shown any inaccuracy at 3600 fps!
And.....because of the hollowpoint, they are explosive.
While I'm not recommending that you alter your Lee mould, the handles can be removed. Use a Dremel tool and carefully cut away the peening around the bottom that secures the pins. Tap the top of the...
Welcome Marcello!
Back 35 years ago when I started casting my own boolits, I used a lube recipe of 1/3 Beeswax, 1/3 parafin wax. and 1/3 mineral oil. It worked (and still works) just fine.
I...
Wow!!
Looks like a cross of Ruger Security Six grips, SRH frame, with some Colt Police Positive mixed in, then steroids sprinkled over the top. Wish I could read German (or Polish, or something)....
I've used H-4831 in my two Ruger .338 magnums using 250 to 275 gr. bullets. I used 71 grains as a good starting point with the 250 gr., 68 grains with the 275 grain and magnum primers in either case....
When I first started casting, gas checks were about 1/2 a cent a piece. Now, they are more like 3 cents each.
I still use them for a lot of my boolits, but 95% of the shooting the average person...
Yeah, I know it is crude and wobbly looking, but is actually designed to pivot as it swings over the top of the ejection pin. The other advantage is that it takes about 10 seconds to install and...
My lot of WC 820 is nearly identical to AAC #9 according to all my chronograph results in .454 Casull and .44 magnum. I don't own or load for an M1 carbine, but I've read that the slow burner (H-110...
I should have added to my post: I very clearly mark any containers other than original. I buy a lot of milsurp powders, so in addition to marking them, I add a note as to relative quickness. For...
If my French was better, I could explain it for you.
I use those plastic containers the wife empties for laundry soap and fabric softener. They are colored so light can't get through, they have a built in pour spout that is large in diameter, and they...
No, there is no bleed hole. Any excess lead simply pushes upwards around the core seating punch as "sprue". It's a real PITA when that happens, since it has to be removed before forming the point....
I really enjoy making these homemade bullets, but I have to tell you that no one should get into this expecting to save money or shoot more. It's extremely time consuming and I figure an about 2...
My wife and I took several motorcycle tours of Canada. I had more trouble understanding those Canucks than I did when we visited New Orleans. Of course we here in Montana "think" we have no accent,...
Wow!!! The entire kit for doing this is now $599. I paid a lot less.
Hey! common ground......a scab is the same thing to us.
Some of the others are totally foreign to me. The interesting thing is that slang in American English changes constantly. As my now adult...
I was so surprised at his reaction, I asked one of the others (there were about 6 Aussies in the group) what I had done to insult him[smilie=l: [smilie=l:
I later talked to him and explained my...
Maybe this will make sense to you, d-o-k
I play music in a band, and there was a couple at one of our dances from Australia. During my break, we struck up a conversation, and I made a remark to...
OK crew, I'm doing my part to keep new posts on this great board. I thought some of you may like to see pictures of some of the .224 caliber bullets I make using a set of Corbin dies. You may have...
d-o-k.....please tanslate for us Yanks!
"flat out like a lizard drinking".
Does that mean broke....like out of money, or exhausted?
We don't see a lot of lizards where I live
