    Ned Kelly

    Well it has certainly been raked over. The thing about the Kelly story is that it encapsulates so much of that time- from the flint-hard poverty, the persecution of the Irish,the corruption of the constabulary, the lack of justice and compassion of the judiciary ( Redmond Barry being a...

    Knurling bullets

    Thats interesting info Coyote Joe. Have some soft cast98gr hollow based bullets which are longer than the BNWC's, might knurl them up the front half of their length to hold lube ( and stay tight in the barrel till fired)Hopefully the hollow base will bump up more easily than the flat base of the...

    Knurling bullets

    great information gents :) Zonie I was thinking that gas might blow through the knurling thats why I thought maybe a dash of cream of wheat on top of the charge may help prevent that,what do you think? will definately give the proper paper patching a try--cheers zodd

    Anybody else "play guns"?

    Steel vs Aluminum Molds for large calibers

    My experience is the same as Hanshi excepting that i havent used steel molds ( so i cant comment on them) but I have Lee RB moulds in .32 .45 .50 ( as well as others for cartridges) and have had no problems at all. Once up to heat and get into a proper rhythm (and I cast on the gas ring of my...
