  4. Does anyone know where I can purchase some of these bullets for my 45-120?
  5. Thanks to all of those who has supplied information concerning lead blood level. I believe the most common practices to decrease lead levels is to wear latex gloves during any reloading and brass handling (except at the loading table and shooting), wash hands with cold water, don’t handle food, don’t rub your eyes or suck on your thumb after handling bullets. With all of this in mind, I purchased some lead swab kits from Amazon. I have tested my reloading room and all the equipment in it, door handles, shooting cart, pants and shirt after shooting a match, truck seats and steering wheel --- no lead. I swabbed some spent brass – LEAD. So I purchased a wet tumbler and tumbled brass for a hour in hot water and a bit of dawn, drained and tumbled for a hour with only water, rinsed – small traces of lead on each cartridge. Put them in my dry tumbler with kitty litter for 1 hour and still a slight amount of lead. Any time I handle brass or bullets, I have latex gloves. Any activity with dry tumbling mask, gloves and glasses. Based upon this, I would conclude that with good handling practices as has been mentioned above, a very large part of my lead exposure is occurring at the firing line. Not sure how to decrease that risk much other than stay out of building when others are shooting, stay upwind, and stay back from shooter when they are shooting (but then you look like a slacker). Any other suggestions?

  7. I know that blood lead levels have been discussed on the Wire over the past several years. We have all discussed and provided good suggestions concerning “things” that we do in our reloading operations from wet brass cleaning, coated bullets, washing hands, not eating or drinking while reloading or shooting, using various products to clean any lead residue from our hands, guns, reloading room, etc. My question is where does the major lead contaminants come from – absorption thru our skin via the things listed above or thru airborne particles after rounds have been shot downrange? Being a spotter, RO or just watching potentially puts those at risk of breathing in lead particles. What steps to shooters take to mitigate these airborne particles? Thanks for all opinions and suggestions
  8. Cypress Sun I know the information has been posted before about how to limit your personal information but would you be able to post again as a good reminder to everyone? Thanks
  9. Folks Another scammer on the classified. As you can see on the Classified, I have a Lab radar for sale. I had an offer from Nickel City Dude but declined. This is the following message the scammer sent to Nickel City Dude and it WAS NOT FROM ME. Thank goodness Nickel City Dude communicated (via PM) with me and asked if I had changed my mind before sending any funds. Lab Radar Todd German <toddallengerman@gmail.com> To: t.sxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.com Hello Nickel City Dude.

  10. For my education only What does the spring wrapped around the powder measure and while plastic piece accomplish? I have a 550 and it does not have the spring. Thanks for the education.

  12. Folks I have been working up loads of my 45-120 sharps with a 1-20 twist 34" Douglas barrel with mixed results. I have been using ole Eenlsford 1 1/2 F powder between 100 -110 grains with 535 postell bullets. At 200 yards best I can do is a 12" pie plate grouping. Suggestions would certainly be welcomed.
  13. Thanks a lot to everyone for your comments and past experiences. Tennessee Snuffy
  14. Folks I need some advice as to which way to go since I am going to be buying some equipment. I am casting 535 g with a single cavity mold. Over the course of a year, I probably will shoot 200 to 300 rounds. What are the advantages and disadvantage of each casing method? Thanks Tennessee Snuffy
  15. Folks I have a 45 caliper 535 g postell bullet mold and would like to cast some 500 g postell using the same mold. Is that possible? Can I add some Tin to lighten the weight but then that will also make the bullet harder. Am I correct? Suggestions are certainly appreciated. Thanks a lot Tennessee Snuffy
