    My babies....(first cast bullets loaded)

    This is a great cast bullet. I size the down to .310 and shoot them out of my .308's, my 'o6 and 30-30 contender. Both my sks and AK get them lubed but shot as casted. C.E. Harris designed this one and did a heck of a job. In fact I just got in on a 6 cavity mold by over on Cast...

    Casting from used bullets

    I just got 11 5 gallon buckets of range lead from my gun club. What I do is usually smelt one bucket at a time, cast a couple of bullets out of it, wait 48 hours and test them with a hardness tester, then mark that batch of ingots with a marker for the hardness. This gives me an idea of what...

    Lead Poisoning --Valuable Health Information

    My lead level was 37 recently, so I started the vitamin C and quit shooting in our indoor ( not ventilated so good) range at the club. Started using a respirator when smelting my lead and cleaning my brass. I also have purchased some D-Lead wipes to use at the range and on my reloading bench...

    38 special vs. 44 special

    "which caliber is better in a revolver designed for combat? and for what reason?" This was the orginial question, which is why I picked the .44, it mentioned nothing regarding concealment. "It's easier to pack 5 .38s into a package that can be easily carried and concealed than it is to...

    Ruger ejector rod housing.

    So far mine has held up well to a steady diet of 250 gr Keith bullets under 18.5 of 2400 and 300 gr LBTs under 21.5 gr of H110. But your logic is sound regarding the additional weight, and I have seen it happen a time or two with 44 mag Super Blackhawks. I let you know if I throw the...

    38 special vs. 44 special

    Great White Hunter John “Pondoro” Taylor suggested the Taylor Knockdown formula (TKO), sometimes called “Taylor Index”, which integrates calibre and momentum to generate a relative value that is a guide to the potential of a round to incapacite a target. TKO value = [ Weight (gr) x Terminal...

    Ruger ejector rod housing.

    Yes, I have, fit and finish were both excellent and it added a nice balence to my 45 Colt 4 5/8 " barrel, mine is actually a Ruger made item, that I got from Gun Parts Corp.

    Can I trust Taurus?

    Personally I think its a crap shoot. I have seen some that are so loose and sloppy right out of the box I would be afraid to shoot them, I have had three that were great guns and gave me zero problems after many rounds fired. They were: .44 SPL 2" titanium .22 Model 93 .45 acp 4" tracker...

    Truck gun.

    If you want something inexpensive and know someone who has a C&R look at the CZ82 9mm Makarov you get the gun, full flap holster, 2 mags and cleaning rod for about $200. Ammo is plentiful and not all that expensive or hard to find. More powerful than a .380 not as much as a 9mm. The one I got...

    38 special vs. 44 special

    I love the 44 special and my opinion is in my signature. When it comes to a defense round its hard to beat a Keith Bullet over 7.5 gr of Unique at 900 FPS Twin Smith 696's Smith Model 24

    I have finally met my match. 500 S&W Magnum

    Must be the grip configuration on the gun. My buddy and I regularly shoot his 8" and 2.5" SW 500, and although the recoil is stout and does leave an impression, its not close to what you described with your BMF. He even has a custom bullet mold for a 700 gr hard cast. That one...

    S&W 19 rust, what to do?

    The foam in those hardcases have a bad habit of holding moisture. If your going to keep you gun in it, spray a rag big enough to wrap the gun in liberally with any of the GOOD gun oils out there, stay away from WD 40. Then wrap the gun in it before putting it in the case. This will help some...
