Jack you have a pm.

Hey Jack, you are entitled to your opinion...EVEN IF YOU’RE WRONG. Just hackin on ya. It isn’t for everyone and I shoot some calibers without powder coating. It has the advantage of not needing to lube the bullets and if the mold is a little small I can make up a couple thousands for good rifling en...

fordwannabe

Piller good eye. Many use air soft bb’s in the powder to statically cling the powder to the bullets. Smoke over on castboolits offers them in addition to powder. The key to the plastic mixing container is to ensure it has a 5 cast inside the little recycling logo in the plastic.

I drove truck for a little more than a decade. Art and I had many hours together in the cab of that old truck. The somewhere in time stuff is repeats kind nd a f a best of

I also powder coat most of my cast bullets. I use an RCBS pro and an old Lee 20 pound for pure lead. I have 28 molds at the moment with several of them being convertible soo I can get several different bullets depending on which pin I use, from the same mold. What do you guys use for sizing? I have ...

Hey hey hey! I resemble that remark! If you will look a certain disturbing guy in the picture did say
You won page 13 and had the line of the day. Ha!

You got it Gunny

When I went out this morning I stopped at one

f the local gun shops and the first thing that I see is...an 8 pounder of Lil’ gun. I use that in my 458 Socom soooo with 56000 grains added to the 2 pounds I had and using 30 grains per round

fordwannabe

Well I found the thread after thinking we were cancel cultured...AGAIN. I am ok with this thread being in politics but in all honesty it may be enough out of the main forum that I don’t see the other post to add what knowledge I have. I will give it a fair shot.

fordwannabe

Hello all. I enjoy casting bullets. I put all kinds of stuff in my shed. If you cast or used to cast or thought about casting please join in.

Wasn’t the 38-40 smoothbore a custom piece used by trick shooters so they could break objects thrown in the air. IIRC it used a wax and shot “bullet”. I believe Annie Oakley was found to use them and I believe most Wild West show types did.

You obviously don’t live in good old Pennsyltuckey. Gas is over 3.60 here but we are lucky to have the highest gas taxes in the continental us. Yea tardtown USA. And for those of you asking why I don’t just move? Pa is surrounded by blue states and I gotta outlast the stupidity until February 7, 202...

Yeah they didn’t have the best reputation in 2000 when I worked for them either buuut the outfit my ex wife drove for (hauling double to Portland and back every night) didn’t feel the need for her truck to have a floor in it! She was really tired when she came home two days in a row when I went to l...

Piller you have a PM

Bada bing GK wins the page AND has the line of the day. Well done chap!

Glad I have a fast car, a heavy duty truck , lots of guns and ammo, and a buddy with 550 acres.

fordwannabe

If you don’t mind 45/70 headstamped brass I may be able to help you out. As my mentor helped me when I first started with this caliber. Pm me.

fordwannabe

JOG you ever hear of a company out of Bangor called BSP. The company says it stands for Best Service Possible those of us that drove the trucks were SURE it meant Big S*** Pile.

fordwannabe

Home powder coating is easy peasy. I started with a toaster oven from the thrift shop then upgraded to the big money...$40 at Wally World. I get my powder from smoke on castboolits and plastic storage containers from the dollar store. I had the spoon and long hemostats (tweezers and cheap needle nos...

fordwannabe

What caliber ya looking for?

fordwannabe

Great knife and a great gesture. Well done sir

fordwannabe

I have shot several hundred PC lead bullets thorough my 458 Socom AR. No leading no fouling in the gas system but in all honesty not enough of a sample size to say for sure. The general consensus on the internet is that PC lead is good to go in gas systems so it MUST be true.

When I lived in Maine my dispatcher(who lived in Pa) would try to get me to take mulch(didn’t even cover the fuel cost) or Poland spring water (heavy, heavy heavy, cheap cheap cheap) “to get home with”. Uh dude, I am home. I live up here. See ya. Find good freight or I will call you when I am in you...

fordwannabe

The coating keeps the barrels very clean to reduce the fouling. I powder coat most of my cast bullets for center fire these days for the same reason. I size them after powder coat and NO leading ever. Highly recommended if you are using cast bullets through a suppressor. Doc, I have red, white, a co...

Don’t mean to interrupt y’all’s serious conversations but I have news that involves GUNS. Saturday I found THE load for my 1960 tang safety Savage. I was using 150 grain Speer and 4064. Four touching out of a 5 shot group and an average of 2554fps. Yesterday I was shooting a 1952 336 in 32 special a...

Jim those are part of CCI’s “clean” series. Todd is correct that they came in a jug of mixed around the holidays. They also make a blue and a red.

fordwannabe

Do not use WD-40 but get a can or squirt bottle of gun lube and open the action. Spray inside the opening at the top of the receiver and lightly spray around the area where the hammer comes through the tang( metal strip that has screws attaching buttstock), also turn the gun upside down and give a l...

fordwannabe

Anybody remember the 44-40 and 38-40? Both quite capable lever actions.

fordwannabe

Glad you found it but don’t send it. I bought another pair already. Thank you though.

Speaking of Junk! I got a package yesterday from ol Six. I open it expecting my chronograph instructions and a battery pack for my phone(I left them at his place when I went to buy a couple pounds of lead). I open the box and it has gravel, broken sticks, a piece of hose, a garden hose diverted, and...

I have a 4 inch 29 and a 4 inch 19. I had a 4 inch 66 for years but my brother had given it to me as a Christmas present 25 years ago and a couple years ago he was moaning and groaning that he wanted a 66. It had been the first duty gun he had ever been issued, sooo I gave it back to him.! I really ...

If you look on GB for cast bullets there is a guy from Dell Mt can’t think of his business name off the top of my head but he sold me 20 bullets of several different molds for the 375 as a trial pack. He goes by Dan the bullet man really good guy to talk to.

fordwannabe

I have ww, pure lead, and range scrap. I tried the art pencils and just wasn’t consistent enough for MY opinion so I broke down and bought a cabine tree hardness tester. Now I know what the hardness of the alloy is.

fordwannabe

WOW Gunny
You get to have all the fun, I am just smelting a couple buckets of wheel weights and installing some steering components on my perfectly clean 66 mustang racecar.

fordwannabe

Gunny and I have the same experience with LAB HAIR. Mmine tend to shed twice a year also, the six months before July first and the six months after July first. Hey Jack to help you keep a couple of those fine guns away from a certain Buffalo coat wearing maniac... you can store them here. I will kee...

I JUST made my last student loan payment from nursing school. Wahoooo

fordwannabe

I wish he wouldn’t beat around the bush. He should let us know how he really feels.

fordwannabe

I have buckets of range scrap collected over the last few years. Helps the gun club and I have an additional alloy source.

fordwannabe

Seems cool but I think I will just cast and reload 25/20’s or 32/20’s.

fordwannabe

Jack sorry this is late but tell your daughter I am sorry to hear about the pup. He was a goofy little thing and seemed to like me. Again that sucks. When we used to go bear hunting, snowmobiling and deer hunting near Eustis Me. The guide there had a golden retriever he had trained to find moose she...

I really think I was Screwed by the public school system. I consider myself semi-literate and can sound out most words but I must be dumber than I thought. I keep reading that constitution thing and I still don’t see where you have the right to NOT be offended. I guess I just don’t get it. The right...

Jog, I have two 86’s in 33 and it is a bit of a learning curve but very rewarding caliber. Six has the stuff for reforming and he is a good guy(sometimes he hides it). Hawk has the bullets, keep an eye on gun sites and the Hornady bullets do come up occasionally but they ain’t cheap. Best part of a ...

Piller, I admit my information is a month or so old but last I looked at real data.... 5 people world wide were confirmed to have caught it twice. In our Pennsylvania Dept of Health reporting we are seeing quite a few people who have “tested as positive twice.” I question this to a point. Personal O...
