Sneak

My first MD20 drum required a very little shaving to click in. Not too much, go slow. Mine came with a small instruction sheet I think.

I got 3 from Gilbert's and they're all fine. No fitment issues.

Mine will be here today! That was fast. A little pricey, but I'll have them.

Yes, thanks Toxin - I've been looking for some (so has everyone else I'm sure). Still in stock.

Nevermind - they're back-ordered from tactical-aim despite showing an inventory

anyone use tactical-aim before?

Nice job man. Keep up the good work. You inspire me to want to start this when I get time this winter.

That is why you shot the side of the pot, it wont be hotter than the water. Good point, your post didn't show up while I was typing.

Not sure how accurate you're wanting it. I like TheJoe90's post. Also, boiling water 'should' be close to 212F. But there may be too much turbulence.

Thanks for the info, that's what I was thinking. I passed on them for now. They said they receive a lot of sinkers and pipe. I'll probably stick with those for now. I figure at $.50 / lb, the slugs will cost me about $.03 - $.04 in lead each if there's little waste.

I found a local scrap yard to sell it for $.50 / lb. They only had wheel weights. I'll wait until next week for some sinkers (I wasn't sure on the purity of the weights).

Nevermind - it helps if I read the last few posts about the slug swap. I'm a freakin' noob. Hopefully I can jump into this in a few weeks.

I'd have bought the hell out of it. That's about the same price a scrap yard about 20 miles from here quoted me but I think I'd have had to sort it, dig it up whatever. I might check that out yet. Thanks Squishy - my avatar was my worst nightmare as a kid. I've got 3 scrap yards within 15 mi of me, I just haven't had time outside of work to check. $1 / lb doesn't seem too bad from the ebay prices I've seen. Is anyone having any trouble shooting slugs out of the low brass stuff? It seems like it'd be OK since you're going from 1 1/8 to 7/8 projectile.

Thanks for the thread. Good stuff guys, I'm new to the site. I've been into pistol reloading for 15 years or so, but the shot scene is new to me (just converted my S12!). What did you end up paying for the craigslist Pb per pound? I figured I'd try it out here.
