A little more chisel practice for the 3/8th ramrod. Ground a sharp edge on the long 3/8th drill to use as a scraper. Works really well. Will use the same drill to drill into the belly of the stock. After I make a drill extension for it.

And if you don't have a set of dial calipers, you don't know what you're missing. These were 10 bucks at Horor Freight 15 years ago. Now they're 24 bucks. Inflation. It $uck$.

.038 inches left to go.

Nice! I have several sets of those HF calipers I used for reloading and general measuring task. My only qualm with them is if I leave them in my damp garage they don't last long. They go haywire. My set for reloading stays in my reloading room and still works great.

my good digital calipers go blank if i leave them in the cold garage. so i bring them in and they sit by my recliner next to the wood stove.
bad part is i go out in the shop to work and forget to take them with me. so i come back in and forget why. then i find them and remember! then the work gang boss spies me trying to sneak back out.
then by the time she has worked me into the ground i have forgotten what i was doing to begin with.
amyone have a cure for dish pan hands?

Gunny, i thought i had found a cure, or at least a method to avoid it.
before when she shanghaied me i had made some patches and lubed them with bear grease. my batch of bear grease stinks. had it all over my hands. thought i was immune. forgot wife still can't smell or taste from covid.
but my hands didn't wrinkle.

First time casting round balls today.
.380’s for my Uberti 1851 Navy.
Went well!
I’ve casted thousands of boolits for my other guns.
I’ll take her out tomorrow and see how they do.
I’m waiting on a .36 Colt Cartridge Works Eras Gone Bullet Mold to try my hand at paper cartridges.

Paper cartridges work just fine with round balls

Ain't that the worst. PETA Trash and Antis use this tactic a lot.

They'll fire those noisy things up before dawn and near sunset. Another tactic is banging on trash can lids. Driving up and down roads honking horns. Walking through public land making a racket.

PETA Trash and Antis are the lowest form of scum on the planet.

Wonder who pays them? Bet funds come from both inside and outside US.
 
You folks must hang out in strange places. never seen any of that weird stuff here in VT the land of liberals who trip on mushrooms, grow weed and organic vegetables and hunt their own food.

Expecting PETA to hunt their own food is like asking an arsonist to give up gasoline.
