Eons ago, Smith & Wesson used zinc in their 'SIGMA' series of pistols. Did not gain a following due to durability, IIRC. Could this stuff be the same? Stuff is not known for strength.

I don't think the ultrasonic action would hurt it. but I would be wary of any chemicals. Start with water, MMO or mabe wd40 or straight kerosene?

But that's my .02 without any real world...

Lyman did make the 457122 as a solid because I have one. It is a pretty standard one cavity with a flat point. It must be fairly rare cuz when you google it all you get is page after page of hollow...

No new software yet. I may be upgrading very shortly.

Back in very early April I and my wife were visiting friends out in East Texas, and I got the itch for a custom-made hat from people who know how to do it. Long story short, I ended up ordering a...

Loaded some 7.62x54R with WC872 over a Lee 312185 coated and checked. Loaded 10 each at 50, 52, and 54 grains. I'll have to see how they do.

Local shop had Win244 for $30/lb after tax. I'm bringing three pounds home :wink:

For your application ... give the Lyman #358156 a try ... 155 grain SWC with GC .
If you want velocity and accuracy in a 357 Magnum load ... a Gas Check design is your friend .

Look at the...

My first center fire rifle, right after the Winchester 94 , was a 788 in .222 . I’ve killed many a crow and coyote with that rifle . Still have it today, I recently re-stocked it. One of my favorites.

That trigger guard usually cracks just behind the middle screw..I have cracked 2 before I quit cinching down on that screw. Now I just run it until it barely touches the guard metal with a dab of...

I have never done any of this but find the discussions fascinating.

I think just about everyone here knows about Hi Tek, I have never used it, but do know about it.
I use powder coat, but it has some limitations, it doesn't agree with bore riding boolits.

I remove the inner cardboard and then just compress and stuff three rolls into my retort. I have been using the heavy weight TP rolls such as Walmart Great Value Ultra Strength, which seem to have...

The mold was meant for civilian sales, never military. Possibly some Confederate ''irregulars'' cast their own and loaded from a flask, then they carried multiple revolvers... Military issued...

So is Nord VPN acceptable? I don't use it at home, but if I travel I do not trust hotel and airport Wi-Fi.

New Cookie being created. Everyone will have to login again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I think it's safe to say that there will be no H 4198 for 2025. After what happened last week, maybe none for the next 4 years.

Keeping the tugs and barges moving commerce on US waterways is an important job.Lot of material moved by barge every day. Most of our fuel here comes in by barge.

My favorite.... .303 Enfield Mk4 No.1 / a fine battle rifle

I have 2 old style and 1 new style RCBS. Nothing is permanently mounted on my bench. I have holes drilled through the bench for each type of tool, press, etc. I use bolts with wing nuts to mount...
