Plain Base Lyman 311466

[Ben]

I have a double cav., Lyman 311466 that I removed the gas check shanks on several yrs. ago. The mould makes great bullets.
When kept slower than 1400 fps, they shoot tiny groups.
No gas checks, works great in the 30-30, 308 Win., and my many 30-06 rifles.

Cheap shooting and will keep my grandson busy at the range.

These are the diameters , as they drop from the mould :

I have an aluminum NEI mold Walt cut years back with 4 cavities in it.
it's measurements are almost dead on to those, except the nose on mine is a hair bigger.

my 340-A loves that bullet.

Ben, I would like to add text and drawing to my photos like you have done. How do you do it? I know you didn't write those numbers on your hand before you took the photo.

 

[Ben]

Windows paint.

That app leaves me out. I have Apple OSX gear, no Windows. There may be an app on my Mac that will do something similar. I will check it out. I gotta do that stuff.

Try this with your MAC

Open the image you would like to caption from within the Preview app located inside of your Applications folder. Go to the View menu and select "Show Edit Toolbar" or push Command-Shift-A to bring up the Edit Toolbar. Click on the text tool within the toolbar and then click on the photo to create your text.

I will try it that way. In the meantime I did this in the Photos app, as suggested by Apple support in response to a Google query . I don't know why it makes so many duplicates. That is only 1 photo.

 

[Ben]

Looks like you're off to a real good start.

I'm a Mac diehard even though I support a large Windows network at work. The free program I use for photo manipulation and annotation is called Paintbrush. Google it with "paintbrush for Mac" and install. Simple and easy to use.

Thanks Bliksem,
