Thanks for the reply. I was hoping for an easy fix I guess, but I'll just keep double coating the difficult colors.

Hopefully this is the correct thread for this question. I figured my problem was too common for its own thread. I'm having problems with some colors. White, orange, and yellow. The powder sticks,...

If you can find some the 357 Max case would be exactly what you're looking for.

That makes ordinary starters look crude by comparison. Well done.

I had an epiphany too. I loved watching them and marveled at how the other birds flew off when I showed up but they buzz around fearlessly. Then I figured out that they have no reason to fear any...

I don't see a problem with being paid for your time, but if it bothers you then just offer to do it for free. It would generate some good will, maybe get you an opportunity to mine the back stop for...

Vascomax is very strong and would fail at maybe twice that pressure. But that's not an operating pressure, it's failure. But you're right, the case would be the weak link, and brass wouldn't take...

Thanks for taking care of one of God's creatures. Has your granddaughter seen the live Mittens?

That's not a bullet, that's a lead nut. That's why the squirrel went for it. If you plant it and water it for a few years, a bullet tree will grow. The first year it makes 22 cal nuts, then 25s,...

I've got his book and he mentions it in there, but not the articles. I think the articles have data, so no help. Sorry.

I just stumbled on this thread and had to chuckle at the idea that we could outsmart the ballistic trail. I know the folks here are probably among those least likely to ever kill someone, but we're...

Awesome work Mtnman. The Anderson Cartridge Company is a nice touch.

What's the top one look like inside the hole? I can't tell if that set screw is for a stop or maybe to secure a shaft inside? Maybe some kind of thread cleaning tool? Just a wild guess.

Thanks for the data. That's quite a variety of bullet possibilities.
Forum: Special Projects
I would like to see data. The idea of a flexible round in the 22/22mag power level is attractive.

I'm not a Jet shooter, but wouldn't you just end up with a shorter neck?

Check the faces for rust or crud, and check the zero as mentioned. If you want a little more checking, measure some feeler gages as a sanity check. You'll find that feel really matters. You want...

Good observations. I've also noticed that any time there is an ongoing incident that the first reports should not be trusted because they come from people who are eager to talk to somebody before...

I've wondered the same thing. You can buy a factory shotgun that has a rifled barrel to shoot slugs. So to me the effective rule (I am NOT a lawyer, just saying what I see) is a shotgun is a gun...

So sorry to hear that. It sure hurts when you lose a good one. I had a mouser like that. When he was hunting, I don't think there was a creature on this earth that was more focused. A wonder to...
