    A new rifle requires a new bag

    Very nice. I got a new trade gun a few weeks ago, and setting it up with new acutrements. It's an enjoyable part of the life.

    Double shot snake.

    Both cups are the same size, 1¼ oz. 7s for birds and 4s for rabbits? Not sure, definitely cool tho. I guess I could whittle a plug to throw a lighter charge from one. I don't know how they were used, but It is going back into service.

    In the last pics, I had one of the mig tips break, had to do emergency cooling and get the lead away from the front, that why it looks funny

    Brokennock Ok, just speculating here. I think it would be possible, might have to go to a bit longer ramp. I took many of the slomo vids to try to understand what was happening. I will be attempting 4-5 shot when my bolts get here next week.

    Shot dripper success...mostly

    I just watched a bunch of vids. Learned most from the Russian? Guys. Couldn't understand a word, but I'm a picture guy anyway. So I am figuring this out myself. I started this on Saturday so definitely not the expert I think going smaller would be possible with a smaller bit. The problem is...

    Shortened the ramp, brought the coolant closer to the ramp, made a smaller drip hole. It seemed to solve the flattening issue. Looking at the shot from a Littleton, mine looks just as good.. When she was running hot I did some sampling, it was dropping 23 drops a second! Did my math 3 times...

    LEAD SHOT MAKER SYSTEMS - ANYONE USED ONE?

    Here is mine in action, about 80% is 7to7½. Ran about 30 lbs, built it Saturday morning. You just need a tiny hole #69 drill for these. Some old scrap, a few mig tips and a tap and die set

    The angle of the shelf may play a part too, just stuck it on there and tried it

    Tried that, closer and it tries to form a stream. Started screwed all the way in decreasing the distance, just a flood, kept backing it out a turn at a time till the drip stabilized.

    Shot dripper success...mostly

    As my new ped trade gun sits in the post office 14 miles away until sometime Monday, decided to make up something to feed it. Watched a few videos and whipped this shot dipper up. Took most of the day, but getting there. I think I need to shorten the ramp so The drops only hit once. They are...
