[@midgetman4206]

[@kd5nrh]

Unless he's got Trump, Musk And Bezos as sponsors, I'm betting he still reloads plenty to be able to afford the amount of practice I'm sure he does. As I recall, McGivern would practice a trick shot until he got it right a thousand times in a row. His driveway looked like gold gravel from all the .22 brass just getting to the point where he was ready to try a shot with centerfire ammo.

[@G56AG]

About 50 years ago I got a new 1911, I wasn't really experienced with the 1911 at that time and all of a sudden I was having extraction problems, later I found the hook on the extractor was partially broken off so I replaced it, not too much later the same thing happened, I think I broke about 4 extractors. I couldn't figure out what was happening, finally one day I read that you shouldn't load one in the chamber and then drop the slide on it, which I had been doing....OOPS! I put a new extractor in it and never had any more extractor problems. I didn't think that would hurt anything but I was wrong, so when Jerry says don't do that, I can personally vouch for what he is saying.

[@seann2769]

Thanks for this! I never knew that would cause issues with the extractor.

[@brandoncaldwell95]

Why i never bothered putting one in the chamber of any weapon. Too much work. Also. I look at it s a safty thing. Rather pop the mag out and extract the 1 round if chambered then put it back at the top of the mag before putting it back. Just easier and safer.

[@jlo7770]

I wonder if this applies for dropping the slide, letting it go into battery under spring tension (the force itself exerting on the extractor) or if you control release the slide (the angle of the extractor in conjunction with the angle of the bullet) Sorry if that doesn't make sense. Basically I'm wondering if it's the slamming/ shock effect or the angle that the extractor receives the bullet that ultimately causes the wear. I would imagine it's either one or the other and the combo just makes it happen at an increased speed. Anyone out there know?

[@jlo7770]

@The Reaper I can see dropping the slide on a round in the pipe but not an empty.. idk it should go into battery without a bullet without issue. If it does that seems like a gun flaw. One in the pipe though I can see that effecting the exstractor

[@theangrymechanic9306]

I didn't know that Jerry had cannons for arms. Good Lord.

[@eraldorh]

Very very wise to be wearing gloves and a respirator when dealing with lead even cutting the grass around where its fired. Iv seen alot of videos of people collecting lead to make their own ammo and they dont appear to do that.

[@polxhaferi6671]

You still get dangerous levels of lead from the shooting fumes.

[@Hackerman-bd9hq]

@Chris Farley honestly that's not that hard to imagine. Lead HAS to be shaved off as the bullet travels through the barrel so I'm sure there's lead in the muzzle blast

[@theol3199]

30 cents a box of 50 is great! The cheapest I’ve ever loaded 38 special is 4 cents a unit..... free cast bullets 3 cent primer and 1 cent of powder..... in 2019

[@jyc2201]

$0.30 in 1973 dollars is $1.74 in 2020 dollars. Your cost for a box of 50 is $2.00. Thus, casting your boolits yields similar cost savings in Jerry's heyday. I gladly pay the premium for the firearm/reloading technology we have today than save the $0.26/box in real dollar savings to "grow up" in Jerry's time. It's still worth it to reload folks!

[@lindafoxwood78]

I agree with that. I reload my 44's since 1986 with my own lead (got 100# of litho-plates from an old printing press). 5,000 rounds has cost me $400 over the past 30+ years. You add in the cost of the reload machine, brass cleaner/shaker, resizer, 44 mold, new brass? About $0.15 per cartridge. Ammo today is about $1.00 a round.

Fun fact. Antimony is the only metal used to make it harder. Tin is added to help the flow in the mold and it does lower the melt point a little at the small percentages that are used in bullet casting.

[@SF-ku2hp]

Will you drink some duff beer?

[@551taylor]

The Antimony was added to reduce the lead-poisoning effect from pure lead. It is particularly used in shot-shells for skeet and trap shooting. For those who can’t afford the trailer, you can make a box with a sloping, 45* angle steel roof, and fill the bottom with a foot or so of sand and sawdust mix to catch the deflected rounds.

[@Charles-A]

You could not be further from correct. Antimony is a heavy metal and is also toxic; the only thing it is used for is to increase the hardness of the lead alloy for the different types of projectiles and prevent excessive deformation. Bismuth and steel are most definitely used as lead free alternatives for skeet shooting and water fowl hunting that requires using lead free loads

[@lowblowpg3d520]

I love the fact that he offered to let the camera man shoot. Stays humble and keeps everyone included.

[@FalloutFoxx]

I'm so glad you wear respiratory protection, it's literally the first thing I thought of when I seen the system. "There's gonna be a LOT of lead dust, I hope he uses protection."

[@Hellsong89]

That is my issue with this system. Each shot that comes hits and shatters projectiles that already shattered into stopping plate. Its decent design but to minimize the shattering and dust i would probably go with vertical barrel/tube where projectiles can do circles until loss of energy to drop on the bottom. Of course surrounded with second larger pipe as second layer if first gives in over time. This way there should be less dust and fragmentation. Also spraying some water into trap aint bad idea ether to contain the lead dust, when opening system like his.

[@ditzydoo4378]

Hello Jerry, while your bullet trap is of a good design it does not mitigate the lead dust hazard. You trap is like the one from Savage Snail Range Systems that I used for many years at the Weatherby Rifle shop in Paso Robles, California. The difference in the two is that the Savage Snail trap has an water/oil wetting sprayer in the mouth of the catch basin that eliminates any lead dust. also the bottom of the projectile catch are has an off-set opening below it that allows the bullet fragments to fall into a recovery box. the box has a screened pump that collects the water/oil lube, and sends it back to the top of the trap face were a spray tube discharges it back into the catch basin.

I didn’t think you were the one shooting the dents in the fenders but when I saw them it made me laugh. I graduated high school in 1972 too. Back then a lot of Smith & Wesson revolvers came in nice wood presentation boxes. Most N frames did if I remember correctly. I have 8⅜“ 629 with a quick change front sight. The blades are calibrated for 50,100,150 and 200-meters. The system required using a 240-grain bullet loaded to 1350-fps and remarkably they work perfect. Smith made numerous unique models long forgotten. There were a lot of guns made for PPC matches that shot one ragged hole all day long with 148 gr wadcutters. Remember the Smith & Wesson Model 53 22 Remington Jet Magnum Revolver. Some Smith & Wesson revolvers didn’t pan out to well.
