i think, after tests involving steel cans filled with water, that a 55 or 60 grain vmax or blitzking would be ideal for home defense. because it explodes on impact, a hit anywhere on the body would be devastating...plus, the bullet will not pass through the target and into your neighbors home...

thank you all so much for the info. feel better now as i have something to work with instead of a think-a-thon. next issue is getting a .40 bolt. found out only one company makes these...when they want.

different lots of cases will yield different measurements. for example: had my trimmer set to 1.745 and trimmed my last bunch of lake city cases. i opened a new bag of once fired sized cases and found the new cases were a mile off. a real pain. would be nice if all cases were exactly the same...

had this happen too. found out the cast bullets i was using were not sized to .451 like they should have been. think its a bullet issue? even if you slightly flare the case mouth when filling with powder to accept the bullet, the seating die should taper crimp this back to normal. however, if...

dillon lube to me is gets sticky or gummy and i tossed my last bottle. hornady one shot seems ok but is too expensive. one lube that is very simple and super cheap yet extremely effective is one you can make yourself and never gets sticky. note: this is my own creation brought forth from...

thinking of building a 16" .40 caliber carbine but wanted to look at best powder/bullet combinations. not real sure where to start. reason for the .40 choice is a middle of the road caliber between 9mm and .45acp. however, if i cannot construct a decent load, i'll have to rethink this. any...

make sure your address is in the correct format;meaning the new 911 addresses. if you have an address that reads "RR4 BOX 321" for instance, your mail will be delayed because the usps system is no longer designed for that and they don't know where to send it to. usps doesnt suck. they move an...

genius!

how about taking us all along on the trip so we can provide security while you and your son enjoy fishing?

for all my .357 and .45acp target loads, i use the moly plated lead. same technique as with jacketed using the neco system(hardened steel shot mixed with their moly) works great. www.neconos.com do not get much leading if any using moly plated bullets. however....for lead removal in the...

would it be easier to moly plate your lead bullets instead using the neco plating process?

amen for wash and wax! it's awful as used as directed on a car with black plastic parts but very fine on brass casings

why not scrap the dry media and go wet with stainless media? water, vinegar, calgon and dawn gets brass super clean in two hours.

an update for the coconut oil homebrew: i discovered that one needs 1 semi heaping tablespoon or a 2 heaping teaspoons and a tad more of melted coconut oil, 1 tablespoon polysorbate 20 and 12 ounces alcohol. preferably 91%. have not experimented with denatured alcohol for a carrier yet but will...

hmm, never thought about ATF. the bolt and carrier were kinda nasty as you know. it's lucas deep clean fuel system cleaner. it says on the bottle that it removes carbon. used to use kroil overnight and it worked ok. used shooters choice and it worked ok too. tired of buying new chemicals but...

curious if anyone has tried using lucas injector cleaner on their firearms to remove carbon. my bolt/carrier group is sitting in it right now. it seemed to do very well on the caked on carbon that forms on the bolt but wondered if anyone else tried this.??

5' legs work great along with a 1.5' chain. found the height is more adjustable this way. im lacking a back stop but i have no neighbors...not a good idea regardless, but it makes me use all the discipline i have to never miss

thank you for the input guys. a good friend steered me to CLE and i was a bit curious about them as the name rarely comes up. i have a match upper coming and found it was cheaper yet high quality to get from them than it would be to get parts. im sure i'll be thrilled when it gets here. thanks...

Polysorbate 20 mixed with the coconut oil and alcohol did well. So even though the mixture is cloudy due to the oil being cold, the oil and alcohol is now in an emulsion so there is no need to heat it. Just now made another lube with alcohol and hex boron nitride. This one is cool because it...

how could we turn the kiwi mink oil polish into a spray? it would separate in liquid so you would have to add a bit of polysorbate 20 to turn it in to an emulsion. i think that would do it. should add a bit of that to what i have now and see what happens haha! a winter chemistry experiment
