Squishy

Thanks GF.

Placed an order last night at 10PM, shipped this morning at 9:30AM....new site is workin like a champ.

Anyone got an opinion about this?

I have a 1oz mold but I haven't used it yet, most likely will when I run out of 7/8oz slugs. The 7/8oz slugs fit with room to spare so I think the 1oz size shouldn't be a problem. For shooting at paper indoors the lighter slug works fine and when casting hundreds at a time the lead savings add up.

So is my assumption that by reducing the weight of the payload, i.e. substituting a 7/8oz slug for the 1 1/8oz of shot the shell was designed for reduces pressure in the barrel when fired? Also a load of smaller shot will expand creating even more pressure the weight of the load not withstanding?

If you are doing things you shouldn't and think something like this would allow you to not get caught, that would be foolish. I don't like being tracked for marketing purposes i.e. you visit a site and then the site (that site's advertising) follows you around after you leave. Anyone with the desire and the resources can hack you or track you, the only way to guard against that is to stay off the net period.

Thanks for this head up, installed on FF with about 3 1/2 clicks.... For the less savvy (like me) here's the deal in a nutshell; http://donttrack.us/

I was being liberal in my estimate of lead cost. The bar I used to beat on with the kinetic hammer weighs 60lbs and I still have wheel weights and ingots I got off eBay so I'll be set for a while. The hammer is so much better/quicker than any other method I've tried for getting the birdshot out of the shells and there is 0 deformation of the hull something I had before that caused FTFs.

Congrats Jake.

Done and done. 100 Bird Slugs ready to go down range. $25 for the bulk shells, roughly 5.5lbs of lead @ $2 per pound another $11 so roughly $36 plus my time which I have way more of than money these days. Oh, and I've got 7lbs of bird shot left over.

Nah, wouldn't work. It has to do with the trap (they say). Actually 00 buck is larger than 22LR and others so it doesn't make sense but they can't be convinced, I tried. I haven't melted any of the shot....yet. I'm open to trading for slugs. If I were in the country where I ought to be it wouldn't be an issue.

Well I finally got around to putting my own Kineti-Dump®together today. I put the Bird Slugs on the back burner for a while but now that Saiga-12 #2 is finished I want to run it at the range where I work which only allows slugs. Going back to be beginning this was the reason in the first place for making cheap slugs. A lot has happened since this thread started and while slugs are still available the best pricing I've seen is still around $1 each. And I'd have a hard time spending that much for something to shoot at paper with even if I had the money. Went to Home Depot and picked out

This looks like a good resource.

Good job, I guess Lee doesn't care about their pot working with any other molds than their own or they'd have made it with more space underneath.

Centrifugal force can be a bitch.

They've done it. But from what I know it's gotta be paid in one lump sum whereas the higher rate can be broken up into monthly payments.

Go to the website of a board business member that has a link and join. I found at least one then I stopped looking. Join up and support Saiga-12 business members.

Any examples?

Good job on keeping your wits about you. You may have been justified in unloading on them but it would have had price no matter how it turned out with "the law". One habit I've been able to make is locking the door of any space I occupy no matter what time of the day it is or what the circumstance is. I don't even think about it, I just do it. Another SOP is to never allow anyone on the outside to see inside especially at night. I'm really uncomfortable when I visit someone and they have the windows uncovered at night. You done good bud.

We'll make it happen sometime soon.

Quickshot on Sam Rittenburg Blvd.

Well there's the beach, deep sea fishing, resort type stuff. I work at an indoor range which is probably 7 miles from Boeing in the West Ashley area. Best thing there other than the standard stuff is full auto rentals, H&K G-36 is my favorite. I've got some cards for a free FA rental you buy the ammo. A lot of "touristy" stuff in down town Charleston. PM me and we'll swap contact info.

We lost 9 six years ago about 4 miles from where I'm sitting and while thankfully such things are rare it's still sad in a way that's difficult to describe. Prayers to the Huston Fire Fighting community and thanks to all who do this important work.

which is a very fair price Yes it is, I paid more but who knew if they'd ever be available again? No big deal really....
