  1. JB weld in the back of the tab has worked on my .44wcf 1866 for 17 years so far.
  2. Here is a photo from our match with the theme "El Dorado" I made up wooden Dressmaker and Notions signs to re-enact Mississippi aka Alan Bourdillion Trehearne shooting said sign. I loaded up some 12 ga brass cases with black powder and buckshot for the shooters to blast the sign. Not quite as impressive as the movie! CP
  3. Dungannon Gunner you have done a great service to folks looking for clubs. If you could please update the NAZty Bunch location to Camp Savage. This link shows the location. http://flagstaffactionshooters.org/location Thanks pard, we can always use more shooters at our matches. Coconino Pistolero

  6. 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
  7. I learned Saturday that oversize balls are worse. First time in years of casting RB. My Uberti and Pietta prefer .454.
  8. 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.
  9. Good luck on the surgery Dawg. Next time ask if anyone has a gently used on the Wire!
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Just in time for Winter Range Prepare yer wallets http://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/product/productId/73152?utm_source=email&utm_campaign=122216&cmp=1&utm_medium=HTMLEmail
  14. You do have to pay $5 for adult signature though.
