I did a little browsing and found the LNL AP at Midsouth for $384.99. Does anyone know of a better price? Amazon - $419.94 Midway - $415.99 Cabellas - $399.99 Natchez - $389.99 Midsouth - $384.99 I have done business with Midsouth many, many times and they have always treated me right. Since...

I just bought my first Ruger revolver. It is the .357/9mm convertible. As many owners and others know Ruger is well known as a fine firearm, possibly one of the best. I have shot the pistol in all three configurations and I must say it is indeed a fine weapon. Now for the question. I was a...

I have never taken a gun to a gunsmith except many years ago to have a recoil pad put on. Many, many years ago. I have a question. I need the barrel on a Ruger BlackHawk (45 Colt) cut off. It's 7.5" long now and I want it cut off to 6.5". Where would a good gunsmith be found close to...

I'm looking for some 38 S&W brass. Used or new, doesn't matter. Anyone know of a source? I only need about 100. Any more than that would be a waste. Starline has it but the minimum order is way over what I need.

Stopped into a plumbing supply house in Huntsville, Coburns. They sell 5 lb lead ignots for $4.25 each. Thats .85 cents a pound. Pretty cheep huh and no shipping. This is pure lead. You would still need tin and antimony, depending on what you're casting.

Ruger Blackhawk? I'm looking at getting a new ruger Blackhawk. Probably a 45/45Colt Convertable. I'm in no hurry and will spend a lot of time shopping for the best value. I'm looking at Stainless vs Black finish. I like them both but have never had a stainless steel gun. What are the...

Here is my cast .40. Actually .401, I cast this the other day in a LEE 2 cavity mold #401-175-TC. They are cast from Lyman#2 (I mix it myself) and fall at about 170 grains. This is the best looking bullet I have ever cast. I had to take a moment to brag :D. I have several oter LEE molds...

New at this, but I had a pretty good day. I'm finally getting the hang of it. I was casting bullets between unpacking boxes from our recent move.

One word. WOW!!!! OK a few more words. This thing is Great! Very easy to set up and use. I have heard a light shines down on you and you hear the choir singing. Now I believe it.

I bought a Lone Wolf replacement barrel for my Glock 23 (.40 S&W). Its supposed to be an exact replica. However my .40 reloads will not chamber in the LW barrel? They get stuck about half way down and will not seat properly. I tested this by attempting to drop a reload into the LW barrel...

The new RCBS Tube Pistol Bullet Feeder (New for 2012). See: RCBS Tube Pistol Bullet Feeder I've been looking for a place to buy one and keep striking out. Where in the world do you get it? Will it work with cast bullets? Remember cast bullets are usually a shade bigger.

Im looking at the RCBS Pro 2000 press. Questions? Primer strips? Whats up with that? Do you buy them or do you load empty strips? Auto Index? Does the press auto index? If you have to buy something what does it cost and what is it called? Seems pricey, maybe a LNL AP would be a better buy?

I have a LEE .358 X 125 grain 6 cavity mold, aluminum. I cast Lyman #2 alloy at 700 to 750 degrees F. I get a lot of wrinkled looking bullets (improper filling). Most of the time this indicates the need for tin. However the Lyman #2 is 5% tin, so I assume tin isn't the problem. I do preheat...

Anybody know the max suggested speed for .357 bullets cast from lyman #2 (BHN 15 +/-) alloy? No gas checks. 1000 fps 1100 fps 1200 fps ? I'll be shooting them from a rifle.

My cast .358" bullets have two groves. One wide one close to the base and a narrow one closer to the tip. Are both channels grease groves? Or is the bottom one a grease grove and the top one a cannelure?

I bought a Lyman 4 cavity .358" bullet mold. The mold is supposed to cast 150 grain bullets. I just cast 17 and all are over the 150 grains. The average is 162.66 gr. The lead was supposedly plumbers lead. I wanted to cast a few just to get the hang of it (new toy syndrome :rolleyes:). I...

I stopped at several tire shops looking for wheel weights. No dice. They turn them back in to the company they buy the weights from and get credit. Good for the recycler. Good for the environment. Bad for the bullet caster. No one will give me the weights, they won't even sell them to me...

I live in Texas. I do not have any type of firearm permit or licence. My friend lives in Nevada, as far as I know he does not have any sort of firearms permit or license either. I have his 12 gauge shotgun and would like to return it to him. Is it legal for me to package it up and send it to...
