I had the same problem using 54R Norma but chucked the sizing die up in my tool room lathe. It fit in a 5C collet. I used a carbide cutter to remove .012" off the face of the die. Worked great! ...

Two Gatlings in 45-70 and an M1A1 Thompson shooting cast boolits. My Master Caster machine gets a work out. It keeps saying: Feed Me, Feed Me! Thanks Bud for the count calculations. How many...

Lead seems to be around .40~.50 cents per pound at current scrap prices. 5-7-2024 Ran into a fellow selling his house. He apparently had a boat that listed to starboard. 150 lbs of lead ingots...

Kevin: Welcome to this Boolit site! You will find a wealth of information here!! If you look up Track of the Wolf they have a lot of card wads, filler wads and nitro over powder wads. Dixie Gun...

Probably an American 180. Load 177 rounds in the drum on top of the gun and let er rip! At 1000 rounds per minute it was a little buzz saw! Shot a scrub 3" tree off with one burst!!!

Abert: Send your address and I will send you some .382" cast boolits you can size to .002 over your groove diameter. My old 1893 Marlin 38-55 slugs .380". My .382" boolits shoot ragety 5shot holes...

Your article on old powder is interesting. I save old pull down powder these days as modern sporting powder is way overpriced. I used to just throw the old nitro cellulose out in the lawn or...

Being a gunsmith is very rewarding. There is always a need for a gunsmith. You may not get wealthy but will always have beer money. But consider this. I have been a gunsmith for over 50 years. ...

Was in a small pawn shop a couple of years ago and besides all the AR black guns and Glocks there was an old single barrel shotgun and an 1853 Enfield three bander hanging up on the wall. The clerk...

Hey Brimstone: I must have gotten lucky as my 86 Pedersoli action is as smooth as my original 86's. My only problem was the crappy plastic stock finish. It was peeling like wax paper on the wood. ...

I bought a Pedersoli 1886 in 45-70. The gun overall looked great and shot very well with my cast Gatling Gun loads. The gun was used and the butt stock looked like it was carried in the rain on a...

I really like my little Franklin Arsenal rotary pin tumbler. Even bought a second tumbler. The seal and mating surfaces have to be wiped clean each time the drum is emptied and check and see if a pin...

I use Winchester Sub-sonic in my suppressed Marlin 22 . The 40 gr boolit is traveling around 1050fps. Great for varmints! This load should be close to the 111ft-lbs you require.

Boss lady corrected me on the sewing machine wear. She said it took her 50 years to wear em out. Pfaff instructs users to only oil at certain points. A quart of 20 weight oil will last her a long...

You said it! Some pawn shops you can find great deals. Other pawn shops seem to have a large inventory but have everything way overpriced. But every one in awhile you stumble into a treasure...

Never ceases to amaze me how metallurgy affects our everyday life. My wife loves to sew. She makes the most beautiful things. She has worn out two fine sewing machines. A German Pfaff machine is...

I've hit feral hogs with a 45-70. The Marlin 1895 is very accurate. Have never had a hog get up and go anywhere. Guess if you don't own a rifle, a shotgun with slugs will work. We hunt around...

Ringing the steel targets with my M1A1 Thompson Submachine Gun. A 30 round magazine doesn't last very long. My hard cast 45 boolits made from range lead and wheel weights work great! There is...

Well, you don't need a rifled slug to kill a ferial pig but you will surely anchor em down so the dogs don't have to go into the thick to find them. Iguanas here in the Florida Keys are everywhere...

Good idea! My Dillon chokes when a small pistol primer case gets through the case feeder and goes into the reprime stage. I pin tumble clean my brass and inspect each case before they go into the...

How do I make room for uploading new photos? Can I delete the old ones? I am full up and cannot upload any new photos. Thanks

That gun will easily handle 1 1/8 oz for hunting, 1 oz loads for target shooting clay birds. 3 Drams of 2F or 1F (a Dram is 27.5 grs) 82 grs and 1 1/8oz of shot will work great! Drive the 1 oz...

You have a nice ole' front stuffer. Track of the Wolf has all the odd gauge wads. I was able to get 22ga wads for my double flint gun and wads for my 13 ga Greener and 14 ga wads for a Williams and...

Nice old muzzleloading 14 ga shotgun. I have collected and hunted with front stuffers for many years. Don't waste your time trying to punch out wads. Track of the Wolf has the overpowder, fillers,...

That's a cool video. Bangin wood boring bumble bees with a derringer!
