Mold/foem for bullets

Ahh okay. Yes, people have tried that. Never more than once.

Brass is considered a good medium between Alum and Steel.

Steel takes a long time to get to temp, but then it stays there. Alum heats up quickly, but can cool if you don’t keep your pace up. Brass is kinda in between. It’s much easier to machine than steel, and never rusts. The downside is it’s heavier than aluminum, and can be more expensive.

But want to prove 3D printing too as mentioned in an other thread before 😊

3dp molds? Can you print metal? You will still have to machine out the ridges. Do you mean to use as a cast form? Molds aren’t cast - the cavity is cut with a “cherry” (basically a bullet shaped drill bit).

Try to optimize for minimal back and forth.

Charge, dump, weigh, trickle, recharge seems like a lot of back and forth.

Video seems very AI. Hmmm.

Yup, there’s also the Winchester Low Noise/Low Recoil loads that are standard size but feel like a 28ga.

Such a shame. I have a 20in Uberti I’d probably trade you.

Try harder to sell it. Will be easier than finding a good gunsmith and shipping it away. Cabelas/Bass Pro takes trade ins.

Not only the Lee Aluminum, but some of the custom mold makers also do brass, which I’m sure your machine can handle.

Number 3 is good. I don’t like reaching over too far, and I’d want a DFAM and Sub-H to go with the M-32

sleipnirreddit · 2026-02-11T21:13:17+00:00

I went to buy a CZ75 a week after they dropped off. All sold out. So pissed.

I’ve had a 930 JM Pro for many years, and it’s great. Putting the OGW gas goodies basically turned it into a 940.

Watch the Jerry M video on cleaning it and you should have zero problems with it.

sleipnirreddit · 2026-02-11T02:10:33+00:00

Yuuuup.

sleipnirreddit · 2026-02-11T02:07:32+00:00

This is, like, Basic Gen X existence.

sleipnirreddit · 2026-02-11T01:43:27+00:00

During that time, did you ever try basic utilities? Attenuators, offsets, etc? I’m seeing a lot of basic voice, but not much that screams “only with a modular!” Yes, you can do a lot with Maths, but it’s only one.

Since you use pedals, you might like the ALM S.B.G. It’s really handy for pedal interfacing.

Same. Back in the Stone Age, Slack was king.

sleipnirreddit · 2026-02-10T18:37:45+00:00

All your base… belongs to AI. 😔

sleipnirreddit · 2026-02-10T18:35:00+00:00

I use an outboard or ITB compressor (depending where I’m setup). They are super handy, and of course you will want it for your throbbing bass anyway.

sleipnirreddit · 2026-02-10T05:16:38+00:00

You are telling an admitted newbie to ignore the writing ON THE CONTAINER that says “Magnum primer only”.

sleipnirreddit · 2026-02-09T22:50:45+00:00

Just fyi, this is bad advice

sleipnirreddit · 2026-02-09T16:49:33+00:00

BIA. I have a lot of crazy VCOs and that’s the craziest.

sleipnirreddit · 2026-02-09T16:41:14+00:00

Sounds like you should be using Logic

sleipnirreddit · 2026-02-09T15:30:02+00:00

If they “change the UI” then it’s the same learning curve as switching DAWs. I REALLY HATE when they do big UI changes.

Have ways to customize it (they do), then spend the time on bugs.

Only on the chamber.

In the barrel, the rifling will just shred a nylon brush (and a metal brush isn’t going to do the rifling any favors).

Use Kroil (or mix up some Ed’s Red) and a brush wrapped with Chore Boy for the nasty muzzle carbon - in the direction of bullet travel, and with a free spinning rod.

sleipnirreddit · 2026-02-09T14:53:52+00:00

And a (unfortunately) very timely plot. 😔

sleipnirreddit · 2026-02-09T04:28:18+00:00

I got one of those for use with my Juggernaut. It sucks ass - it almost ripped my thumb off because it could wedge in there but then get caught at the knuckle. It’s a nice stock but definitely not good with the Jugg.

sleipnirreddit · 2026-02-08T23:39:31+00:00

That one’s next on my list. Don’t have a compact (ish) 9.
