I'm still using a 20lb pot on a camp stove. It works and it's cheap. You just need a good ladle.

If you only shooting muzzleloaders you are home free first try - well done!

This is yet another silly attempt to make "something different" that not one person in 10,000 has any use for. A huge revolver only suitable for hunting, and offering little to no advantages over...

I think obviously we are not privy to any of the testing data, but 277 fury packs more velocity and ft lbs than 308 does. I'll assume a penetrator, steel core round would go farther with the extra ft...

This is exactly right. A d shaped clutch will not work. Even the hex can strip out. That is why I use hex-pin these days.

No you can not. Not after the last law changes months ago. Heck airguns are considered firearms if you use them to hunt in NYS. Sorry. In the good old days of last year it was ok. They could not own...

That makes sense. I suppose the round clutch is just made for a motor with a pin driven through the shaft. Otherwise it would have the same or even worse problem of constantly slipping and wearing...

What does the top of the blocks look like?
Your upper alignment pin and hole looks unusually close to the top edge of the blocks. I’ve seen this situation before in moulds that have had some of...

I don't think it would work well. Not very much surface area on the shaft to keep it from stripping out easily. It may work for a short time but it will spin out. Giver a go.

I shot WW lead, water dropped from mold and powder coated and water dropped for 30-06 and 30-30 and all was fine. Now using 6.8 SPC in the AR I am getting a slight spread at 100 yards. I am hoping to...

Wearing gloves never hurts, but as long as you don’t lick your hands dry you’ll be fine. These lead compounds don’t readily absorb through your skin. Someone may have been thinking about the...

I see that you are looking at the data provided in the Lee 308 Win Die set. It does state that the maximum RL-15 load, for a minimum COAL of 2.700”, is 49.0 grains. Note that it does not specify...

Indeed, they are mentioned in the manual. But I thought there would just be a clutch that is D-shaped so no adapter is needed.
