    Ultrasonic Question

    I was wonder if anyone Uses WD-40 after cleaning a gun? Just to displace the water. My idea is to clean the gun. Then WD-40 the gun in the ultrasonic cleaner. Let dry then lube with normal type gun oil as usual.

    Why .300 blackout?

    I built a 7.62x39 upper and have used it quite a bit over the years. I finally got through the cheap steel cased ammo and ordered die, brass and bullets. This is a solid performing round in an AR-15 platform. So to the question. Why even go with a 300 blkout? What can it do that you cannot...

    Lead shot maker.

    So I tried to make my own. It is making shot but not perfectly round I'm guessing it is the ramp angle or length. Brake fluid as coolant. About 1/2" from end of ramp. The shot ends up kinda flat looking. It's doing this down the ramp from what I can tell. Any suggestions?
