Preacher B. Quick, SASS 59860 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Howdy! Looking for answers/advice on the following: 1. What do you use to lube and size your cast bullets? 2. Where can I order prescription shooting glasses. (I used to know but lost my notes.) 3. I just bought a gas powered golf cart to use at shoots. Where can I get or how do I modify it to carry guns and equipment? Thanks in advance. Preacher B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyo Joe Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Golf cart gun racks are everywhere now that bolt right on for long guns. Reckon you could do a bolt on for ammo box, etc. as well. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Golf-Cart-Gun-Rack-Stand-Up-Gun-Holder-Rifle-Stand-EZGO-/353338356470?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Bullweed Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I use Lee tumble-lube molds: no sizing and the Alox lube from Lee, for .32 Mag, .32-20, .38-40, .44 mag, .45 (Colt, Cowboy Special and ACP) and .300 Blackout. I wear lined bifocals when not shooting. I get sports safety glasses from any eyeglass provider made fo my docs prescription: right(dominany) eye is near vision and left eye is far vision. The intensity of the prescription is backed off 1/4 diopter to help the two eyes work together (my understanding). I don't know a thing about golf carts but have seen some cool onez.

Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 1........Lubrisizing. Many folks now have switched to polymer coating for their bullets - HyTek. But if you are casting and want to stick with lube - Many ways possible. Depends upon how much you want to spend, and how fast you want to go. Just like drag racing. I'll detail a couple of the most common ways. Moderately fast way - get a manual operated Magma (Star) Sizer. The push thru operation allows you to lube maybe 500 an hour. Maybe $350 to get going. But some used ones are out there, too. Only handle a bullet once doing this. Moderately slow way - get a Lyman or RCBS lubrisizer. These push bullet down and pull it back up. So you set the bullet in the die, then pull finished bullet out of die. Maybe $200 to get going. Lots of used one floating around. Lube for cowboy bullets - I make my own with beeswax and lithium grease., equal weights. "Lithibee lube" Here's more alternatives: https://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?85030-Boolit-lube-recipes Some even less costly ways, like tumble lubing. See Lee's offerings for lubing and a sizing die that fits in a loading press. If you don't make your own lube, I'd recommend a cheap commercial lube that is soft. My favorite for that: BAC lube from White Label lube: http://www.lsstuff.com/lube/ They also have a 50-50 lube that is very close to the old NRA formula. good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 went to powder coating (PC) as it was something new to me + it was another hobby to buy stuff for use a $20 wally world toaster oven, that + PC powder is it do use a Lee push through sizer after PCing the bullets still get a smile on my face when they come out of the oven all shiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
