Sorry to hear that Earl. That's a lot of wasted effort. And stinky when you re-melt 'em. Did you measure the diameters? I would think that with that much antimony in the mix it would not come up to the size you need. Did you check for leading? I would also guess it wouldn't lead as they may be too s...

Catshooter

Definitely the Trump Effect.

Actually, I don't think the caliber has been announced yet, has it? In their Request for Proposal they specifically said they wanted more power than a 9.

Yes, ten years and who knows how much money to select a pistol? Our government "hard" at work.

Doc,

I think an attorney is your best bet. Laws really vary, as you know.

After your done melting all the lead, just rinse out the pot and donate it to the local Mosque so they can cook their bacon in.] ! Oh Mr. Ingot, you are so bad. Bad! Somebody needs to beat you like a rented mule. You certainly should know that no one at a Mosque is cooking any bacon. You have to co...

Catshooter

Of course. There are (I suppose) places that are safe and I don't need to carry. But coming and going happens, plans change, people change their minds, stuff happens. So of course.

Six,

I can well believe it 6pt. I've never seen, either in person or online an adjustable. That's a cute little .32 bullet Six. And behind it is quite the collection of sights. Yikes! I wish I had been paying attention to those little beauties years ago. I can't hardly afford 'em now. Lyman and Redfield ...

Catshooter

Thought you'd like it Six.

I've got two of those 37583 Ideals in single cavity. If you know someone who is dying for one I'd part with one.

I thought y'all that cast might like to peek at. http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo235/Catshooter45/Misc/IMG_6680_zpsy8ntax6r.jpg Bullet weighs right at 130 grains, .430 for the various 44 calibers out there. Six's post about that fine looking old Ruger ten inch made me think of it. Pretty old mo...

Very nice. Thanks for the help Six. I'll have to look into one of these dudes.

Those idiots hate America so they want to put it last. Our country isn't perfect, and has a checkered past. But it is the only shinning light of freedom and is the best country in the world. I wish people would stop telling the libs what they're doing wrong. I don't want 'em fixed. You know, watchin...

So you've got a round tub and a square. Got a preference?

Cat

Catshooter

That's fascinating Six, thanks. There's an appliance store in my town. The brothers that own it still have a bunch of the old Maytags. Quite a few wth the gas engines still attached. They value them as antiques. I'll have to talk to them about one, see what they say. What you say about maintenance m...

Catshooter

That looks like an interesting pic you showed us.

Would you tell us more? Why two? How do you actually use 'em? Do the rollers break buttons? Inquiring minds you know.

Give us another pic while you're at it, would ya? You know how we are about pics.

Thanks.

Cat

Oooo. Power Pistol. Or Long Shot! Long Shot! Yea, Long Sh . . . that .25-35 got a strong action, doesn't it?

The Special Snowflake Crowd has barely started. Just wait until the President actually starts doind things!

Good and interesting stuff Six.

But I think you should use a compressed load of 2400. Now that would be . . . uh, cool.

Cat

Catshooter

Incredible, isn't it? I was sure in my heart that we would end up with that despicable Hitlery. All I can think is that God smiled on America. What a wonderful, moving address. He did make some tall promises, but like Six says if he only gets 30% it'll be a great thing for us all. I agree, Handirifl...

......then they sit in bins until needed and each one needs to be sized and lubricated. ----6 And ain't that just a grand feeling! I love having just as many bullets cast up as I want. They last forever that way. Size 'em when you're ready and it don't matter at all what those idiots in DC are doin...

Catshooter

That's a pretty Colt Six. I admit to have everything I need to load for the mighty .25 also. I've even got moulds. Never have done it though. M M Wright, I've heard that same (or similar) story but with both the 9mm and the .45 ACP. I believe 'em, too. Skulls are tough and round. Hit it at an angle ...

Catshooter

Nice pic. Don't see a Colt knife all that often, how old is it?

Cat

Catshooter

The little it costs is well, well worth it.

You're welcome and thank you for all your work to keep it going.

Cat

Barrels vary. If you want to know what the diameter of any barrel is, you have to measure it. Three fifty sevens are supposed to be .357, right? I've had them run from just barely .355 to almost .360, all either S&W or Ruger. If you're not technically inclined, or just not inclined to do the lea...

Catshooter

Oh man, I can grrrr right with ya. You know, maybe the trouble with those two moulds is the sprue hole. When the factory ran their cutter in and beveled out the hole, sometimes they didn't run it down all the way. Or if the edge of the hole has chipped it'll make it tough to cut that strong alloy. I...

Catshooter

Glock says no to lead bullets. Of course they also say (along with every other manufacturer) no to handloads. You have to pay attention when you're developing your load. They can lead very quickly and if ignored can lead to high pressures. I shoot cast in all of my Glock factory barrels. Fit, as alw...

One of the advantages that Linotype has is that it expands as it cools. Alloys with a lot less of the other goodies and more lead shrink as they cool, depending of course. Naturally Lino is considerably harder than most other lead alloys. Dropping the bullets out of the mould and into water can fix ...

Catshooter

Blaine, Do you cast? If you do a Lyman 311008 or 311016 work very well. First one is plain base, second is gas checked. Both about 120 grains. If you don't a 100 grain jacketed works well also. Five grains of Red Dot under the 311008 runs right about 1,400 fps from my guns and shoots into 5/8ths at ...

Catshooter

Handirifle,

I've heard of, but not tried, a drop of Super Glue on the check to make loose ones hand on.

Earl's idea is more permanent of course.

Cat

Catshooter

Good tip Earl, thanks.

I've gone to a different brand of checks sometimes.

Cat

Done. I'm late, but I'm done.

Thank you for putting up with all the stuff that an admin has to. And thanks for doing it for so long.

Catshooter

You're right of course, at least one hopes that as one progresses down life's lane one learns a thing or two. I've got ex's though who argue with me having learned a thing . . . A proper pre-heat sure does make a difference. Especially with Lyman's all steel moulds. Most of the time nowadways the fi...

I have gone through the era of factory parts/mags only too. Some of those mags were incredible in their lousy construction, weren't they? But, for many products now, those day are gone. I've used the ETS mags extensively and they are as good or better than Glock. Far, far cheaper too. MagPul, the sa...

Catshooter

Six, That looks to me like a zero to half inch mic. If so, they're tiny! I can see why you want to upgrade. I've bought all of my precision tools from Ebay. If you shop hard, you can get them way cheaper than new and in great shape. Do you have a one inch measuring standard? They can be helpful too....

Catshooter

That'll buff right out . . .

Cat

Catshooter

Doc,

If your furnace is new enough to have a chip or two then the problem could be either it or the 'stat.

Sorry.

Cat

Catshooter

Man Six, the angels were really watching out for you this time. Not only a very cool mould, but you set it down (!) and walked away!?! You must be living right, that's all I can say. Of course, now you need another rifle to properly utilize the 405 cavity. Maybe a Highwall? Rolling block? Oh, the ch...

Rosin paper! Just what I wanted, and thank you for that gunny mack!

I went to Amazon and bought some two inch black dots. I think this'll work well for me.

I found that just after I retired I was sleeping ten hours a day or so too. This went on for I don't know, six months? A while anyway.

I guess I was a bit short of sleep?

This fine book has been mentioned here a couple of time lately. Just for giggles I searched for it on Amazon and lo and behold they have some. And for only $100 or so. I paid $180 for mine, so I consider this a pretty good deal. It's a great book, well worth reading for someone who loves levers. I h...

I did dig out Paco's book to re-read, again. I had forgotten, but just inside the front cover it says it #186 of 200 copies. So, no, not many printed! It really should be run again, his info is timeless.

Lessons like that one have taught me to read my paperwork very carefully. Especially government paperwork.

In his Leverguns book Paco tells a story of when he cleaned five feral dogs out of a neighbor's chicken coop with five shots from a Smith & Wesson .22 mag. He likes 'em too.

That's the gospel Sixgun. I've fallen from the height of 'knowing it all!' more than a few times. :) The first few rounds out of my 38-55 I couldn't believe there wasn't any leading. Everything I knew (up to that point) told me it was gonna. I'd opened up the mould just as far as I could and just ga...

Lovely pic Nath, thank you for sharing.

How much difference in report with your suppressor? And how far out will you use the WMR on critters?
