Alright, time to make a new plan. The boolits I cast mike exactly .459". My question is, would a sizer die in .460" size do anything to a .459" boolit? Or do I beagle the mold and then run through the .460 sizer die? Or just look for a .460" mold? I will slug my barrel this weeke...

Tycer, one question about beagling; do you place the silver tape on both halves of the mold?

One good thing about casting is if the bullets aren't acceptable...back in the pot they go!

This is why I love this forum so much. I learn something new all the time. I've been shooting for 42 years, reloading my own ammo for thirty years and casting my own boolits for 1 month...and now I get to slug my first bore!

The rifle in question is a Marlim 1895SS, serial # 12XXXX. It has microgroove rifling. I've been loading the old remington 405 jacketed flat point bullet over H335. I want to work up a reduced load using cast bullets for general plinking and informal target shooting. What should I use to slug the bo...

I'm embarrassed to say, I don't know. I will look when I get home. I do know it is an older model with smooth wood and it has the cross-bolt safety.

I loaded ten rounds of 45/70 using the LEE 405gr cast with wheelweight alloy and 15grains of Unique. I fired five rounds from my Marlin 1895 and my nephew fired five rounds in his Handi-Rifle. At 50 yards, all five of my rounds hit the 18" x 18" paper target. All were key holing. My nephew...

Not trying to kill this thread....but...if an extraterrestrial recon unit was landed on earth, would their camo be shiny tin-foil or a hairry lookin ghillie suit type of a thang? I need to drink a couple more malt flavored beverages and contemplate on this matter.

I just got started casting my own boolits for the 45/70. The mold I have is the LEE 457-405-F. I want to work up a load in the 1200 to 1300 fps range. I've looked around on the 'net and haven't quite found what I'm looking for. I was wondering if someone here had a pet load they would share. The rif...

After years of hoarding used wheel weights and scrap lead, I'm fixing to start casting my own boolits.

Ive caught a couple of episodes. I watched the one with the pink 1911 with morbid fascination. Come on now, a pink 1911 with white grips! Now my wife wants one!

Oh, and I bet Pitchy could build a much better hand cannon than their little 50 caliber one.

That is a purty pistol. Try some buck'n'ball loads too.

I read somewhere that the USS Arizona was still leaking fuel oil. Legend has it that it will continue to leak oil until the last survivor passes away. Today, a section of US Highway in my county is being named in honor a Pearl Harbor survivor. When I was in elementary school, our custodian was a sur...

I currently reload for 20 different center-fire chamberings from 22 Hornet to 500 S&W Mag. lately, I've been loading a lot of 12 gauge buckshot too. I love the process and of course, shooting plenty o'rounds.

Without a doubt, venison pot roast is a delectable feast. However, the ultimate has to be chicken-fried backstrap steaks served with my lovely bride's famous jalapeno mustard sauce and a big plate of turnip or collard greens and a pone of cracklin corn bread....Now, I gotta go find some vittles. :lol:

Could it have been a C-17 Globemaster?

This may seem like an odd request, but I would like to find a source for an authentic peasant's sombrero. All I can find on the interweb is the costume kind...like a marache (sp) band would wear.

Probably a M686 Plus. A friend of mine bought one about 4 or 5 years ago when they first came out and has never fired it. I think Taurus make a 7 shot 357 as well. http://www.smith-wesson.com/wcsstore/SmWesson2/upload/images/firearms/detail_md/164194_01_md.jpg http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/...

I have a Taurus M94B4. I got it mainly to shoot shorts, cb caps and subsonic rounds. The double-action trigger pull is very heavy and after firing a few cylinders, the chambers need to be cleaned or the empties will stick. It is a very accurate little revolver though. For the money, it's OK.

My Uncle carried a Thompson in the Korean War. He was a paratrooper and also served in the occupation of Germany. He was busted from sargeant to private for beating a German with a dog chain after the German spit on him. He told me the proper way to fire the tommygun was to lay it over on its side a...

We watched True Grit 2010 over the weekend. I must admit I was somewhat disappointed in the new version. If I had never seen the original True Grit with "The Duke", then the new version might seem to be OK movie. The original had many humorous moments that were missing in the 2010 remake. ...
