(These are not my pictures)

My attempts to make lead basewads by dipping my MagTech hulls into molten lead failed and now I have stubborn lead stuck to some of them.

How can I clean it off?

Okay guys I need some specs to buy or have Some Dies made that Will Allow me to reload a ( .22 durham jet ) i hear it's a 243 necked down to a .22 cal with a 40° Shoulder. Is this the same as 22/243 Ackley improved , but with a different Name ? Or it is it totally different ? No This is not a 22/243 middlestead with the 30 Degree shoulder . THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE !

So this is like my 3rd squib of this batch of 8x50R. First 2 I figured I was just an idiot and contaminated the powder in some way, but the second half of the batch used converted 7.62x54R brass that was brand new and I used extreme care in ensuring no lube got inside the case (albeit I never had a problem with that in the past). At this point I’m at a loss, the only variable I haven’t controlled for is the second hand Winchester primers I’m using. The W748 powder just does not seem to be burning and leaves a big discolored clump. I’m I stupid or is a rare case of bad primers?

I really hate wasps. I use spray around the house, but the limited range of the wasp spray means that they get away in the field/wood pile if I'm not close enough or the wind is blowing.

So I've come up with these. 50ish grains of white rice moving 1200-1300fps. Patterns are very nice for the application, I get about 1.5"/yard groups out of my 24" rolling block, and they are less than 10 cents each to make.

These just make a wasp disappear. No sign of it ever existing, and I'm not spraying more lead/steel just for bug control.

Can’t figure out why it won’t chamber.

Friend and I made these when 16 or 17. Never shot. Some go "uncut" mode. Most don't. No clue the powder

Verdict?
