I’ve done testing with clear ballistic gel.
I found that within reason the cavity shape matters more than the alloy. That being 20:1 vs. 50/50 coww and pure vs 50/50 coww and pure with 2% tin...

All kidding aside when I was younger my father would do that to his best friend. If we went to a fair or a mall he would fill out his information of every contact card he could find.

I just use my best friends email for any of the spam stuff.

Yes that’s the name of the company. They don’t make the fanciest high end slingshots but they make some pretty awesome affordable tools. Tons of info on their website too.

Simpleshot is doing a giveaway.
I’ve been playing with their slingshots for a couple of years and they’re pretty awesome. When you tune the bands for the right ammo they are even better.
I’m...
Spot on!
I think an old model might be in my future.
Ok so it sounds like they both might slug on the large side cylinder wise.
Is that a common issue or is not everyone seeing that?
All of the rugers I’ve had were ejector length. Neither of the blackhawks tickled my fancy but the vaquero is close to what I’m looking for aesthetically. I keep getting a step closer each time I buy...
Great info thank you.
I would like to go with 45 Colt. I really like that cartridge and I’m already set up to cast/load for it.
Old model frame on the Uberti or Pre War?
Thank you!!
Yeah I’m not really down with spending 3X the money on a third gen. Especially with the mixed reviews I’m reading on the third gen...
I guess the other option is an old model Uberti. Supposedly thinner front sight blade and rear sight notch which doesn’t lend itself to accurate shooting. I guess the whole fixed sight whether wide...
I’m stuck here.
I want a 4 click Colt clone.
I hear the Cimarron’s Frontier models are made by Pietta and have 4 clicks. Rumors of MIM parts and cast instead of forged frames. Supposedly...

Hmmm. I could wax on poetic about the ways to solve it but I’m sure you tore this thread apart working on that already.

If you’re having an issue with adhesion it’s probably from the alcohol.

Get the AGI video from midway USA. Well worth the money. It used to be on YouTube but someone deleted it. Amazing details.

I love this mould. Cast beautiful bullets. Hollow points if you want them.

What bullet is it pictured with in the last picture? The RCBS version?

I’ll have to ask a buddy to run it through quickoad. Then ask him to run the loads through his rifle first

Bringing this one back from the dead.
Anyone have luck with this?

I like that idea Randy. I would love a set of silhouette targets but I think we need to work on some berms on the range before we can get more steel.
Keep the ideas coming!

I think my club would just buy some steel. They did it for the steel challenge matches.
We usually beg some door prizes from local gun shops and take donations so there’s a chance to have something...

We might keep it shorter too. I need to some scenarios. The other option is to see if the club wants to spring for a line of silhouette steel for cowboy rules and let the PCC guys run it too.
Forum: Cast Boolits
You nailed what I’m looking for. By accuracy I do mean hits like the comment above. I don’t mean bug hole groups. I mean targets far enough way to make the challenging but not impossible.
I would...
