It is difficult to do. I tried it on a couple bullets just to see if it improved expansion. (it did) I put the bullet in a small lathe to get the hole centered. It is still tough to keep the depth consistent and lead is very "grabby" to drill. I didn't do enough of them to check the effects...

Here is a clip of a guy making 45 bullets with a 40 cal case as the jacket. http://www.youtube.com/user/Iraqveteran8888#p/u/54/vxSzi88WrGk I have to admit I can't understand the economics of using something as expensive as cases for a bullet.

With your additional explanation I can see he appeared to be careless instead of a new shooter. So I'll say I'm sorry for the negative tone in my previous post.

Do you mean he fired a few mags? I'm just trying to understand if he ever got to the point where he shot. At any rate, new guys are worth watching from a safety perspective, and worth helping from a friendly perspective. We need more shooters, not a closed club.

An old/new combo: and a less than serious photo:

I'll go with: Titegroup, about the cheapest per shot for most rounds. Power Pistol, seems to give the best performance in many rounds. Lil Gun, for rompin' stompin' heavy bullet magnums.

If I remember correctly, those cases are very thick and were made for a specfic heeled bullet. Assuming that is true, you have collectors items, not really usable cases. Sorry.

I like mine. I got one about 7 or 8 years ago and also like the primer strips better than the idea of stacking the caps in a tube. If I understand correctly, they now have auto indexing.

It's not a woman thing, it's a people thing. As evidence I will point out that a hunter wearing a neon orange coat and hat might demand a camo stock for his shiny stainless gun not to blend in to the trees, but as a fashion statement. And need I mention "tactical" black?

I throw it in the tumbler the same as, in fact usually with, the regular brass. I have noticed the nickled cases seem to clean up quicker than the brass, but I still prefer brass over nickle.

It does appear that you have managed to use cast bullet starting loads with jacketed bullets, and then pieced together some unrelated sentence fragments to show that Lee endorses the practice. That's your call and you seem to have already answered your own question. But what all this makes...

I did almost the same thing and saw the digit's correctly. I looked at the tag on a nice used double and it was only something like $300. I was thinking "that's VERY nice for 300" when I looked again. I had missed the last zero.

Speaking of tarps, I used to shoot a lot at an informal range with a fair amount of trees around. A couple small trees just to the right of the firing position served to hold a sheet of plastic stretched between them like a shower curtain. It worked out well as the brass all collected at one...

I can understand the desire to move, but how is clearing out the house in 12 hours even possible? I'm assuming the Police will have control of the scene for many hours. Combine that with the blood clean up, general confusion surrounding the busy events, and the difficulting of arranging things...

I've got a 6X223 and just try to be careful about keeping the cases in one batch. If I shot it a lot I might try something like only using one brand of case for the 6 and everything else for 223. Out of curiosity, how was the Nosler brass disappointing? I've never used it but was under the...

Once you got to that point I already knew you had done a good job. People (gun owners, "anti's", everybody) give lots of consideration to someone who comes across as reasonable and informed. If you are perceived as a fringe element your opinion will be dismissed. Keep up the good work, Griz

I seem to remember them being a new design around 15 years ago or maybe a little before. They are new enough that $8 was a great price no matter when they were made. Unless they were stored in really bad conditions I would say you have some good ammo. By the way, not positive but I believe...

I own a couple and none has ever fired itself. I suspect the problem is people who think they can give the trigger a "small nudge" and not have it go off.

I like AA#5 too. Also 231 is just a little faster but works well in the calibers you listed and meters great. It might not be ideal for the 41 and 357 but it will come close to matching Unique.

Chiming in a little late here, but another thanks for the info. I've done similar testing with phone books back when they were more common, and was also pleased with the results. The wet pack tends to be a little friendlier to bullets than real critters are, but every attempt to toughen up the...
