I'll grind down the top of the mold, so the sprues are shorter. If I screw it up, I'll get a lee mold.

The spurs were taller when I had the hinge screw tightened. Not sure what to do. Maybe it's just the Lyman mold?

Okay I tried again today, using the advice I received. I made a few changes: I loosened the hinge screw on the sprue cutter. I think keeping the screw tight kept the cutter elevated off the mold. With a loose sprue cutter and a downward strike, the sprues are shorter. I ran everything A LOT...

I noticed that I was getting shiny balls at the start, when I had the lead pot set at 10 (for the initial melting) and the mold wasn't as hot. But I was also getting 100% defective balls. Casting is definitely an art form.

I bought a Lee mold for my .36 cal RBs but I haven't used it yet.

The spurs seem too large, bit the spur cutting bolt is cranked down all the way. Can't cut them any shorter. Am I running the lead too hot?

Do my balls look okay? I bought a Lyman double mold and started casting my own balls. I'm using an electric lead pot with a bottom pour spout. I followed the mold instructions and have read everything I can about casting balls. It's definitely an art. About half of my balls have defects, and I...

Thanks LD! I went last year, but I didn't know what I wanted or needed, or what I was looking at.

I lived in California 1960-1983, and LOVED living there. Every day I would wake up to a clear blue sky and thank god that I lived in California. I left the state in 1983 for boot camp, and never moved back. But I continued to play and ski in California until the mid-1990s, until I moved out...

So... Is there anything in particular that I should look for or buy while I'm at Fort Frederick?

Probably will pop in Friday for a bit

What wondering said. Sight in your rifle using the method you normally use to shoot. I always shoot offhand, so I sight in my rifles offhand. I start at 15 yards and work my way back to 100 yards. Bench and offhand shooting both introduce their own peculiar set of errors. Doesn't make sense...

My 95 year old grampa told me that he didn't need Viagra. "You know why?" he asked. "Because I got me a younger woman. She's only 85." True story.

Working with 11/0 beads looked daunting

It looks good from 10 feet. Up close, not so much.

I gotta try that!

I thought I'd try my hand at making a beaded strike-a-light pouch. I started about 5 times and ripped out all the stitching before I finally got the hang of it. My first beading project, no laughing allowed :). It's quite an involved process. There's a lot of strategy in choosing where to start...

I placed an order with GG about two months ago for about $300. I did not get a reply to any of my e-mails. Finally I called. He answered the phone right away. He said my order was backlogged many months, so I cancelled the order. Then I called my cc company and filed a dispute just in case my...

I get 10-inch groupings at 100 feet with 00 buckshot and my 12-gauge shotgun

What is your sleeve length (point of shoulder to wrist)? This make fit me
