I had the same idea and built some just for kicks. I used the dusty slag from smelting wheel weights and melted wax from a candle into...

The sad part is that there really are cup holders and I-phone mounts for guns. The I-phone mount is somewhat understandable because you can get ballistics programs for it. The cupholder is another...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
Yes, I should have been more clear. In theory you could pan lube (with your preferred lube) and then tumble lube. When I lubed the Lee 310 I tumble lubed and then hand lubed each bullet because I had...
I loaded a few shells with a Lee 7/8 ounce slug with three .311 roundballs sitting on top of it a while back. There is NO load data that I can find, so I started low and worked up with the powder....
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I've been panlubing with Billy Darr modified and have had great results, but was wondering if LLA plus regular lube would ever have a use. I used both on some Lee 430-310 without a gas check in front...

I bought my H001 .22 early on when the front sight and barrel band were plastic. I called them about replacing them with metal ones and they shipped them to me for free. Everyone I talked to was...

I shoot the Lee 240 gr RN out of my 629 with an 8 inch barrel. I pan lube with modified Billy Darr lube, don't size, and load Unique up to 8 grains. No signs of leading with the 8 grain load.

No advice on using steel shot in the Model 12's, but I do know that a few conservation dove hunting areas here in Missouri went to steel shot only. It might be a good idea to check your conservation...

What dies are you using? Lee provides reloading data with their die instructions. They list data for a 125 gr. lead boolit. Lee die instructions don't give you a ton of data for each bullet weight,...

I'll break down my Golden Boy and make sure that piece of brass isn't anywhere it isn't supposed to be. I had never heard of .22 rimfires reaching brass splitting psi, but I guess it's possible when...
I've experimented with a load almost exactly like Winchester's load. I used a Lee 7/8 slug and 3 .311 roundballs. Groups were pretty good. The slug went to point of aim like usual and the buckshot...

I was shooting some Remington .22 Target bullets last night and had some issues. The first round sounded similar to a dud, so after I made sure the barrel was clear I shot another round. This one...

Geargnasher, I've found possums can be hard to kill. I once let my neice shoot a possum caught in one of my traps with my .22 pistol using shorts. After checking the rest of my traps we came back to...

Thanks guys. Any tips on finding local used Russian brass that isn't Berdan primed? I'm going to have to order a lot of stuff over the internet (dies, brass, auto-prime holder, etc), which isn't a...

Thanks Hang Fire. I guess I'll just wait until I bite the bullet and order everything I need for 7.62x54R, and then I won't be limited to a single shot with with the insert.

You might also try www.armslist.com. It's the craigslist of guns, since craigslist doesn't allow firearms to be sold on their website. I don't know about Texas, but I've seen a lot of Mossberg 500's...
Typecaster's story brings to light another issue I have with rock salt loads. Forgive me for ranting, preaching, or getting on a soap box, but I was always taught that you're not supposed to point...
Lizard, if you've had the dogs come after you while shooting at them with a BB gun, then I would say that you're in the clear to use lethal force. If the dogs have already been bothering your...

I finally got a day to where I can sit down and troubleshoot at my bench. The brass has no problem at all fitting correctly. I continued to seat the boolit little by little and my dummy round will...

Yes, the Lee 125 gr. mold. I'll try seating a dummy round to 1.065 later as well. I'm trying to remember what the minimum OAL the Lee recipe I was using called for, but I don't have it with me at...

I thought of seating the boolit deeper and did so when I discovered the problem. The problem was that it didn't help at all. I seated the boolit in a dummy round further and further down to see if it...

I decided to start casting for my Kel-Tec PF-9 so I could afford to practice with it. I cast around one hundred Lee 125 grain boolits that turned out nicely. I went to load my first rounds and...
