I was at my FFL doing the DROS on a .44 mag CVA Scout and a guy came in with a S&W 629 and an ammo can with about 300 factory .44 mag rounds. I offered him $800 for it all and now its mine. This...

After reading all these I am now wondering just how thick my powder coat actually is. I may make up a batch and tumble lube them and see how that goes.

This design must predate powder coating. It probably works fine with conventional lube but I don't shoot plain lead in 9mm and I suppose few people do these days.
Once you powder coat it, it will...

Just last night I had coffee while reloading - knocked over the cup all over the table and into a tray full of unprimed brass. So...no irreversible damage, just a big mess.

My 40mm die has an area of 1.98 square inches, effectively 2.
A 2" die, which as far as I know nobody makes, would be 3.14 square inches.
A 3" die, which is the size of the Woodys die, is 7 square...

CVA Scout in 44 Magnum. Still in transit to me.
Because my CVA Scout in 45-70 has been pounding me too hard, even with black powder loads. It just doesn't weigh all that much.

The 40mm "DabPress" die that I use works out to 2 Sq In. My 6 ton press is barely enough.
The Woody's die is 3"". A 12 ton press is barely not enough.

Took me awhile to realize it - but powder coating is just tumble lubing that you bake on instead of air dry.
Which I now use for my 356-125-2R because once powder coated it doesn't work in...

I powdercoat everything for cartridge guns. No mess, no lube - and no exposure to lead. I wear gloves and a respirator when casting - still wear gloves when powder coating. Once that is done its...

6 cavity molds cast so fast, and powder coating (or tumble lubing) is so easy, I see no reason to ever stop. I can make them fast enough that the cost savings is significant.

I got a real shock the other day - average lifespan of an American male is now 92. Last I looked it was 78.
Where did the 80's go? I miss the 80's
