The Coconino Pistolero, SASS # 72432

Or store your props in southern Arizona for a year. Out in the sun is best. Add a dust storm and cloudburst or two and you got authentic, period correct, distressed wood. In 2-3 years it will be so hard you can bend nails trying to pound one in.

Thank you for passing that link along. I did not know Power Pistol was nitroglycerin based. That explains the low light flash.

Amen, pard well said

Tighten the cartridge retaining plate bolt more. There should be very little wobble of the cases.

RIP Tom. Ya always made me smile.

There was a biggun! Not sure how since I look at them to see if there were defects like a large sprue ring when the mould is not closed right. I took out the cylinder from the 1860 Army and pounded the ball in with a plastic punch so the cylinder would rotate. Took off the nipple and filled in the powder gap. Went bang and really could not tell the difference. Another day in capgun paradise! Not a Ninja but a sooty cowboy

I learned Saturday that oversize balls are worse. First time in years of casting RB. My Uberti and Pietta prefer .454.

One-shot has its uses. It is all I need to resize .44 WCF. I started using One Shot when I discovered a downside to pin cleaning brass. If it gets like-new clean I noticed drag on the Dillon belling die and little streaks of brass being deposited on it. Especially with .45 acp and .45 Colt. I dump the brass in a tub and give a quick spray to get some inside the case mouth of some of the cases. It is enough to stop the drag. It turns out the residue inside the case mouth acts as a lubricant in the belling operation. One Shot does not work sizing larger rifle cases well. I learned that with .308 Win. If the case was WET with the One Shot it sort of worked some time. I picked up some lanolin grease at the local hippy grocery and it works like a champ. Just a little smear around the case below the neck and sizing is SMOOTH. I will have to get the liquid stuff and make some spray.

Good luck on the surgery Dawg. Next time ask if anyone has a gently used on the Wire!

I got 2 sometimes 3 using either AA or Federal top gun without fiddling with the press. They get singed with real BP but as long as the crimp closes they are fine and shuck easy. I got a bushel of the Federal at our local range last summer so I am tossing them after one toasting now.

I use 20:1 lead to tin but that was along with cheap lead and 50/50 bar solder on ebay for low bids . May have to start diluting WW next batch.

My RCBS was from 1986. For the cost of shipping there they got it working fine again several times. I only use it for tumbling off case lube now. Have a heavy duty tumbler for pins and ceramic.

Yes, they is.
