I just bought an electronic powder scale measure from them a few days ago. Not here yet but I think it had already made it out of the state.

My Lee Perfect Powder measure ......isn't. I had it...

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...

I have all four of the Lee 9mm molds that come in 6 cavity versions, in fact I even have three that make the bullet in question - a 2 and two 6's. Same issue with all of them, and I got them from...

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.

Paypal Friends & Family is for friends you personally know - and family. It was never meant for regular business.

Put Corn Starch in the oven for awhile and it makes Destrin. Detailed instructions are elsewhere here and also on youtube. But you only need Dextrin or SGRS with Screened black powder. None of...

I now have a formula that appears to be the functional equivalent of Unique smokeless. Also one that appears to be the equivalent of Pyrodex. When I run out of all the other components I got to do...

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.

Its kind of aggravating that the most...

Potato guns are also a thing. Problem in that case is that they are often made of PVC and then overpressurized and ...fail

Bowling ball cannons deliver something like 28,000 Ft-Lb

I have two of these - one with a red dot and the other with open sights. This one is a single flat band mine use four round bands. I typically fire .36 round ball made with contaminated lead.

As...

I have two of these - one with a red dot and the other with open sights. Next time I am at the range I will be chronographing stuff and I'll bring these along to see what they actually do. This one...

Rim Rock Bullets owes you some kind of referral credit. Just bought a bunch of stuff from them and would have never found them if not for you

I think once you get past the point where the Sulfur "Plasticizes" which I think is 3500 PSI, that its rapidly diminishing returns after that.

However I HAVE found a significant gain by using my...

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.

For muzzle loaders,...

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

I started casting last year at 67.

You can get just the shoulder pad part of a shooting jacket off Amazon. Straps on like a shoulder holster. I have a CVA Scout in 45-70 and it does not weigh much. Firing it with full power black...

I got some 473AA From Shady Grady. Its $15 a pound and comparable to WSF. It probably off a bit so drop the load a grain and work back up - but its available and cheap.

EDIT: Its on the hot...

Its possible in my case it was not dry enough to begin with. Sealed containers keep the moisture IN as well....

I left the most recent batch of starch powder in the dehydrator a whole extra day...

I found a place that makes re-usable silica gel packs. News to me that this even existed, apparently you pop them in a microwave on defrost for about 10 minutes and it steams all the collected...
