I have enough range brass that "range P/U" is a label more common than "new" on several bins in several calibers.

Wet tumbling with ss pins handles most tarnish leaving it clean enough to inspect....

Not sure which is worse. Being the guy who has spent a good amount of time finding a load and bullet that worked well only to find their powder of choice is unobtanium. Or being the guy starting...

Lee "wack a mole" Loader around 2012 followed by a Lee 2 cavity tumble lube Lee 38 bullet mold. Moved up to a Lee Classic Cast turret press once I had the endless supply of my own cast bullets :D

Glad to know you are still kicking up dust and fuss. Unfortunately I've found that after the warranty expires everything seems to go wrong doesn't only apply to appliances and electronics.

I can't locate the Hornady (or whomever) that had load data with muzzle velocities for Inline muzzle loaders. I have one and use BP not the "pellets" so I went looking for information, found it, but...

I'm on the mailing list so I get emails from Muzzle-Loaders.com from time to time. I had an email come in that claimed to be from them saying I needed to pay an additional $6.79 in shipping on my...

Rounded bands was why I was using some tin for the 41 mag bullets, they had several lube grooves. I can get decent fill out in the 58 caliber Minnie bullets and they have a broad shallow groove, or...

Hot melt and hot mold. Pour fast. I cast round ball and Minnie balls with plain lead.

For casting sabot rounds since the sabot rides the rifling one can use lead. I use lead plus a couple...

M-Tec that was a very informative post on powders.

On prices last time I looked some had almost doubled from price stickers on some of my previous purchases.

I have seen a drop in primers...

Hot diggity dog! I think this is great. I buy the NOE expander buttons that work like a Lyman M die and use those in my Lee expander die. I have already bought those for several calibers, the...

Hodgdon doesn't make their own powders, they real monopoly is they all buy from Australian manufacturer ADI. Go to ADI website and look at their powder equivalents chart.

Shows that many of...

I haven't done a comparison but I think there might be some difference depending on when you size your projectiles.

Tumble lube you may or may not size your bullet. With Lee TL design not sizing...

Only empty pot if I'm changing alloy and that is easy with my dipper pot for the ladle, just use welding gloves pick it up carefully (very carefully) and dump out the lead after using a ladle to get...

Squirrel cage blower out of an old furnace moves a lot of air and can be found cheap from furnaces that are being replaced due to heat exchanger leaks.

One of the biggest sources of easily...

Another for graphite is your friend as a pin release. I have some powdered graphite that I used to tumble buckshot that I now apply with a Q Tip, I have used a pencil before and both forms of...

Tell me more, tell me more!

What sort of fellow does and intervention and doesn't bring "refreshements" I'll snag a pack of fig newtons to make sure we don't starve.

If you find yourself with a bunch of good looking well...

thanks people, good information and helpful as always.

I'm surprised not to get confirmation that tightening the bands by increasing the bend isn't a good option. I did fail to mention I first noticed the barrel being loose after it fell when on the...

Heck I would say a 92 ain't bad for any age. Although I have from time to time (damn close to daily) been reminded that stuff I would say I excelled at once upon a time I can't do at the same level...

I think it is loose enough that it doesn't tighten up when hot, the few times I've shot it since it became loose I didn't shoot a lot of rounds. Not as much fun when the barrel shifts during firing.

You my friend are getting close to needing an intervention!

My bench has a small loaf pan for culls and pull downs, that pan gets dumped into the smelting pot when I melt down drippings, dross,...

I have a zouave reproduction that has a lot of play in the barrel. I'm not sure how it should be addressed. With the bands in their usual location the barrel has enough play to make accuracy an...

A lot of open source software only requires that one leave the acknowledgement of the original authors having created the original work. Am surprised at how often people ignore that simple request....

older thread but went with the pry and roll off the bottom with some channel locks when lo and behold I got a surprise. This pair of weighted candlesticks were full of sand! I'm very pleased. Got...
