Casting bullets; advice for a first timer
Sedalia Dave replied to Horace Patootie, SASS #35798's topic in SASS Wire
Absolute best flux is ordinary saw dust. I take a plastic grocery bag to the local lumber yard and get all I want for free. Most if not all of the commercial fluxes will remove tin from the mix if you get the alloy too hot. Tin is what makes it easy for the alloy to properly fill out the mould. It's also expensive to replace. Sawdust will not do this. -

Shooting Black Power in the 2026 Black Gold Wild Bunch side match. No cleaning or other maintenance for all 4 stages. 1 1/8 of shot over 65 grains of ffg. 44 WCF loaded with a heavily compressed load of fffg under a 200 grain bullet. 45 ACP filled with Triple 7 to the base of a 200 grain powder coated bullet. 1911 was still going strong after 80 rounds. Chamber of my 87 started sticking after 20 or 21 rounds. First time that has happened.

While not as common you can get those diseases through transmission channels that have nothing to do with sexual activity. Ask any farmer, rancher or vet. -

Always thought that the Merchant Mariners of WWII didn’t get the recognition they deserved. They went into harm’s way every time they pulled out of port and without them the war in Europe would have been lost.

Careful with this one. The 9-11 terrorists used ordinary box cutters to hijack 4 airliners.

12 ga Paper hulls use standard 12 gauge components. 11 ga components will not work. You need the thicker over powder cards. They are thicker to help keep contain combustion gasses.

Don't buy anything till you read the below books. From Ingot to Target: A Cast Bullet Guide for Handgunners NRA cast bullet manual Buy a copy of Paul Mathews book Casting Premium Bullets for the BPCR. Read both manuals cover to cover and then read them again. Sign up and become a member of the following forums, the Art and Science of Bullet Casting Cast Bullet assoc. Be sure to read through their older posts. It'll take a while but the knowledge you'll acquire is priceless. At a minimum you need a good DIGITAL thermometer. Analog thermometers are inaccurate to say the least and a total waste of money. -
Opinions On a Lever Action 1873 45 Colt (Update)
Sedalia Dave replied to joachim slim's topic in SASS Wire
How many rounds have been through it? You can wear one out. Saw one today that had to have the frame machined so that a bronze bushing could be installed in the frame because the firing pin extension wore the hole to the point it was out of round. -

Should have split the difference. That way they tick off the most people -
This is why we tell people to go to a match and ask questions before they spend money on firearms that are unsuitable for CAS. It's obvious that you bought a shotgun without understanding what it would cost to make it work. Now you are mad at us because we can't give you the answers that you want to hear. It's not our fault that there is not a ten dollar solution to your problem.

Fixed it for you. SHB pg 14. In the case of a suspected squib, the TO will instruct the shooter to make the firearm safe and continue with the next firearm. If the barrel is later determined to be clear, the shooter will receive a reshoot.
