Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

If you have a coarse wheel bench grinder you could make one with a crudely cut down end. Won't look as nicely cut down as the lathe cut.

Don't even have one of those. If I could find a way to keep the tube ridgid enough while doing so, I might be able to use my drill press...maybe.

No sweat... I could make up just the tubes and let you finish them off the way you want as far as plugging the end and adding your pin and tether.markiver54 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 12:48 pmWas afraid you were going to say lathe, don't have one. Oh well.

Re: Made up a speed loader for .357 today !
The loader tubes worked fine this afternoon while I was dialing in the rear sight. I opened up the rear sight notch to .110 and it's more of a radius cut rather than a V notch. With a little more area around the bead when you sight in target it is easier for me to get on target.
You might sacrifice a bit of pin point accuracy but I can hit my actual targets quicker.
I'm never all that good on paper but I can hit my steel!
Sorry no pictures today!

Hey forty I think the steel is more fun to.
Glad the tubes worked out, they looked like they would.

I was chipping away on several of those little pumpkins with the 125 gr. XTP loads with 9 gr. of Unique after I used up my MB 158 gr. bullets I had loaded. The pumpkins didn't explode like they did with those 2000 FPS 180 gr. 44 Mag loads!
