  1. I do. Love mine though I had to take factory coating off with a angle grinder and wire wheel and reseason it my self
  2. Yeah that's the problem with cast in a AR and semi autos in general. Traditional cast at least. With the powder coat ,a metal gas check and a harder BHN lead (most traditional his only use like a 10-12 15 tops but I'm staring out at 15 and with the water quenching hopefully I can end up around 18-21) I should be able to push them at higher speeds and pressures to get a good cycle.
  3. Really? , Interesting,learn something new everyday. O and I figured I share this guy with you . He does alot of reloading videos and has 70 or so just on .300blk. he listing for a AR but figured there could still be something in his videos that could help you out.
  4. Going to try to shoot them out of my 5.56 AR-15. Hoping they groups a most 2" @100yd would be good plinking ammo but if I can get sub MOA @100 I'll be over the moon lol. As far as my oven is just a cheap little toaster oven. Think I paid like $30 for it. I actually just finished editing the casting and powder coating videos and I'll try to up load them later today, or tomorrow for you ? I'm not sure it's 2:18 a.m. over here ,o the joys of being a YouTuber ??
  5. I thought the same thing ? I might have arthritis but I can drop a load just fine ?
  6. KimE are you planning on buying factory .300blk brass or are you going to try forming your own from.223 ?
  7. Well got my first batch of powder coated bullets done. Think the traffic cone puple color is gonna cause a few laughs at the range but hay all good fun ?
  8. Is about like that here in most states,alot of guys up north can't believe I can still get lead wheel weights. Benefits of living in the butt crack of the south I guess ?? That being said their are some people casting zinc bullets now too.
  9. Clip on wheel weights apparently have a general alloy of Lead 95% Antimony 2.5% Tin .5% Arsenic .1%
  10. Finally got most of the stuff I felt I need to start casting my own bullets. Made my first small run tonight. Didn't even get half way though my 10lbs lead pot and have close to 100 or so .225 dia 55gr bullets. Just gotta do a quick sorting after they dry then they get powder coated ,gas checked and sized. Hopefully I can get good at this because if my calculations are right I can get about 127 55grain bullets per pound of lead,would really be a money saver at least for plinking ammo Anyhow just figured I'd share, I'll let y'all know if they shoot well or if I end up wasting a few pounds
  11. the 5xx series are all old stock,most being produced from the 40's to the late 50's early 60's if remember right alot of them end up being sold for next to nothing when someones grand parents die because they don't know anything about the rifles.
  12. So got out today and tried to do a good amo test. Used my BOG tripod with a deflated sand sock for a front rest and a regular sand sock as a rear. Barely had to move it to get on target. 27.5yards 10rounds targets where traced off if dimes and colored with a red sharpie. Just finished editing the video and should be up in the next few days
  13. 3:16p.m actually about to head to work lol, yeah y'all are like 7hours ahead
  14. Yeah in that case it could have just been local law wanting to run the numbers to makes sure they where actually theirs and not looted
  15. O katrina was such a cluster it's rediclous. Lots and lots of factors went into it. Honestly alot of the problems where people who where looting and stealing stuff they didn't need. TV's jewelry what not. And the government can only do so much hence why so much falls back on the individual. Theirs something called the cajun navy that's a good example. Anytime these big storms hit literal thousands of people come from across the state and country with personal boats, helicopters, airboats jet skies , swamp buggies you name it and they do search and rescue help national guard ,feed people and
  16. Get enough people to become sheep you'd be amazed what can happen. Talked to so aussies and people from california and they said they felt the same and look at them now. you don't cut down a tree in just one hit. Lots of smaller cuts here and there.....
  17. Ummm I live like 3hours from New Orleans and end up getting alot of the after effects of those storms but anyhow the state of Louisiana disarming citizens, yeah I've never heard of that happening nor do I think it would. California yeah but Louisiana, mississippi, texas and other southern states ,unless it's at an extremely local level on a case by case basis it's not gonna happen . That had to have been some local law enforcement knew about and found them unsafe or something. The southern states disarming citizens isn't gonna happen for a few reasons one mainly being people will not com
  18. It's an election year man happens like clock work. Not to mention the biden has said his administration with try to ban all online gun,ammo,and parts sales, band on various rifles and hand gun types,ammo type bans ,yadda yadda yadda, so everyone if loosing their minds buying up any and every thing they can. Lots of crooks will by what ever they think will be in high demand so they can sell it at a mark up at gun shows and such. Then doesn't help the generally ignorant public will buy it at the mark up. Lost o liberals are wanting firearms too and they are completely cluess so people are makin
  19. Don't think you understand I can't really even find regular ammo on the shelves right now lol, much less target grade .22lr. even online it's pretty scarce , gonna probably be October before stuff simmers down to where I can get some target ammo. Till then it's getting fed what I can find lol
  20. Little video of the first shots and some plinking
  21. Got video of a chipmunk getting caught in a cage trap I've been tinkering with ,learning I gotta configure the triggers a bit different for the rats though
  22. You know I've heard this a few times from guys over there. I'm honestly not sure why but seem these old guns shoot just about everything good enough for for hunting within 20-30yd. Actually have a old savage that was scoped and it won't shoot any of the real Gucci ammo worth anything. Tried a few boxes of Elley and some nicer american options ,can't remember what exactly it's been a while but wouldn't shoot them well at all. It will stack $20 for 500 bulk in one hole at 30yd all day though. Idk mabye it's just these two guns. But again most of what I do now days is plinking shot gun shells , s
  23. O I have no real interest in parting it out or anything. Have been looking for a role like this for the collection for a while. Honestly would have preferred if it was kinda beat up so id have an excuse to mess with it a little but since it's in good condition I'm happy with it lol. As far as the other ammo, I reckon it might fair better group wise ,and if I had competitions and what not to shoot it in then yes I would consider getting some of the better stuff but right now I'm m more than happy with what's it's doing with the cheap stuff. $180 for a brick of lapua or $20 for 50rd
