    Item Gone: FS/FT Ruger Wrangler bronze

    A smidge too far for me. GLWS.

  2. Ammo Sightings - Post All Ammo Sightings Here

    CCIs keeping things on their website pretty well these days and I got a shipment today. Couldn’t get any quiets for the kiddos but SV is fine and I figured I’d snag some mini-mags for all the plinking I’ve done over the holidays with them. Price is in the .10-.12 per round depending on what it...

    FS Smith model 34-1

    Too far… but a great gun. GLWS.

  4. Federal LPPs in stock at Brownells…

    …and now the SPPs are in stock.

  5. Federal LPPs in stock at Brownells…

    …and gone. Not bad. Was in stock a couple days.

  6. Federal LPPs in stock at Brownells…

    If you want them… good luck that they’re still there. https://www.brownells.com/reloading/primers/pistol-primers/pistol-primers-prod35322.aspx

  7. What is your “go too” powder for pistol caliber rounds…and why?

    Bullseye. It’s what my dad taught me on… it works for all my plinking loads. The smell of it reminds me of my childhood and good times with my old man.

  8. Best piece of advise for a new reloader?

    Limit your variables. It’s fun to do a bunch of different things to experiment across a reloading session. When you’re starting out though, focus on making one good batch to see what you’re doing is consistent. Do a small batch. Shoot it. See how it goes. If it’s good... repeat or tweak a...

  9. Reloading 22lr ammo

    I watched/read a pile on the subject, between using matches... roll caps... making your own priming material or buying a kit. The process. Getting a mold to cast those bullets. I like reloading and casting a bit but for the volume I’d want to shoot and the labor you’d put into it... it seems...

    I did just get some blue Eastwood powder coat that was recommended on here earlier this week but hadn’t tried it yet. I don’t know that I need it for shooting out of an air gun... but I’m definitely going to trying it out for other things. Eventually I’d kind of like to do some .308 stuff, but...

    I got that RN mold to try and load some 9mm that’d feed easy and be relatively fool(me)-proof. I just figured since they were dropping at .357 they were worth a try. Might still be... but, my first take on them is kind of mediocre. Then again, I shot so few of them it might of been on me. Those...

    Well... last night I threw on a cheap scope I had in my “cheap scope bin” (I need to get a decent scope) and did rough sight in about a half dozen shots and managed this at 20 yards (my initial sight in) Backed out to 50 yards. Couldn’t ever get all 3 to touch in a 3 shot group but shot a...

    So today I intentionally tried to make some softer bullets by tossing some SOWW I’d been segregating from my wheel weight acquisitions and a few ingots of some old sheet lead I made a couple years ago. I’m casting these in order to try and use them in a .357 Benjamin Bulldog pellet gun that’s in...

    Yeah... I Aloxed them and will check them again tomorrow. I’ve shot a few batches that were Mississippi bullets that were supposed to be 18. So long as they don’t go way over that as they rest, I think I should be fine. I thought about casting some tonight but it started raining and carrying on...

    Well, the oven was a success. I can’t scratch the not-reheated water quenched bullet with my hardest pencil... a 4H. After heating the majority of them and checking them back out, I scratch with a HB and don’t scratch with a B. That puts me right around the 13 BHN range and should suit my needs...

    Thanks for the input, guys. I put in a order for a pound of the Eastwood Ford light blue. I imagine it’ll last me either forever or until I want to accessorize my bullets like Barbie dolls and get a different color! Since I have no sense of style... I’ll probably just die of old age with the blue.

    This one does have a little fan in it but I’ll definitely stick a thermometer in it to make sure it any doing anything wacky.

    Thanks for the advice! I checked my local Harbor Freight as I’d heard their house brand red was a decent PC to try but all they had on the shelf was white and black and didn’t know if the color made any difference to it’s performance. Heard good stuff about Eastman (? East-something). Figure I’d...

  19. bullet casters

    Well, I snagged one of these earlier this week. I’ll eventually use it to try out powder coating. In the meantime, I’m going to see if I can undo the water quench hardness and get the small batch of 158 gr 358 RFs down in the upper teens/low 20s. On all my reading I’ve seen WC hardness ranging...

    Possibly. I’d though the same thing and I was reading up a lot last night thinking the same thing. There was nothing else “floating” that made me think there was zinc in the mix and I have a thermometer to back me up to keep my pot cool enough to not melt zinc... plus I hand sort before I make...
