Chet and I had to pool our machinist and engineering skills to get this 034 sorted out.



Starts right up, runs, cuts and oils the chain.

It was good to have you visit the shop!

If I can spend time with a friend and run my lathe or mill and have a cup of coffee that folks is a Win - Win for me!

Tom recovered this outta the hog he harvested last week...100% weight retention....lol.
It's a 230 gr hollow point .45 cal pistol bullet, fired out of a .50 cal. muzzleloader with a sabot.
He used 30 grains of ff powder.... I'm thinking maybe a little more velocity next time....
He shot it head on.... bullet was in lower neck, and had penetrated at least a foot of pig when it stopped...
It must have been moving very slow to have not opened up at all.
Hog was DRT.

Like 8 or 900 FPS?

 

[Jetmd]

Happy Labor Day!

Finish your coffee and get to work.

 

[Sawdust Man]

Like 8 or 900 FPS?

At most.
900 +/- fps is pretty normal for a 1911 and I'd think the bullet was designed to open up at that velocity, so I'm guessing 800 or less?

Also, most of the 230-240 grain projectiles you stuff in a sabot for muzzle loaders measure out to .429 If I recall correctly.. 44 mag bullet
are they making different sabots now to accommodate a .45 caliber bullet.?

Yes, I found sabots for .45 (.452) pistol bullets.
It's nice because .45 bullets are cheaper and easier to find as opposed to .44's

Haven't been on here in a few days. Had a sewer line collapse under my slab. It only affected the kitchen sink and dishwasher. Instead of busting up my foundation, we went out the wall under the sink. The problem----the sewer line is on the other side of the house so we had to go all the way around the house to connect to the sewer line, which is 7 feet under ground. We put 2 cleanouts in while we were at it. I rented a mini-excavator and I have a good friend who is a plumber. I helped where I could and went to Lowe's a dozen times. What a mess!!!!

 

[Workshop]

Morning everybody.

Thomas did you run the mini ex?

 

[nbbt]

Morning/afternoon folks. Going to be another warm one today. It was 102 actual (112 heat index) yesterday, and claiming to be getting a near repeat today. Maybe some rain Tuesday evening/overnight cooling things off a good deal (we can hope).

DRT is good enough for the process

Yes it is.

Hey there boys and girls
Thanks Matt for accommodating me and the farm tour during my visit
Levi got the shed done

 

[JimBear]

Thomas did you run the mini ex?

More importantly if it’s a rental did Thomas sign the extra insurance waiver especially if he ran it ???

 

[Hinerman]

Thomas did you run the mini ex?

NO, I knew better. If it was Matt's, I would have drove it like I stole it, lol
