anneal the plate w/ a torch to soften it. I use cast iron frying pans [for molds] to make lead plates & then drill, tap, & mount them to the face of the spinners to increase the lifespan of the targets. Using 4ea - 10x32 machine screws [heads of screws on the backside of plate!] works pretty good up to 2" thick plate.
I live in Colorado and own a Remington 308. I have an upcoming local neighborhood shoot. Rules are iron sights only. No scopes/peeps. 100 yard target with elk caliber rifles. My eyes are not what they used to be at 64. I'm in need of the best iron sights for competition, adjustment and vision. Thanks for your assistance. batman@andrewsdev.com.

The nail is for clearing the fuze or touch hole, the thinner wire is for peircing the aluminum foil packet you put a measured charge of black powder in to load the blank shot. you would then place a short chunk of cannon fuse into the touch hole and into the powder "bag". light the fuse and step back.

According to what I have read, iron has too much carbon and is very brittle (cast iron, for example). It is processed to wrought iron with no carbon. Steel is wrought iron with some small amount of carbon added and mild steel is the least amount of carbon added and still be called steel and not wrought iron.
Still, any designer should have realized that that design could easily be dangerous, and figured out a better way. The use of a cast iron frame was not really a misstep, since many guns, even at that date, were still made of cast iron or wrought iron. People think, for example, that Colt casehardened the SAA frame because of the appearance.

The manual says to unbolt the press from the bench to remove spent primers to dump them out or use a shop vacuum. Either way kinda "sucks."

Lead Casting - Part 1. In my last article I gave an overview of metallic cartridge reloading. Reloading in itself is a very full stand alone hobby. However there are plenty of other hobbies that can significantly complement it, and still others that could benefit from it. Lead casting for example makes a great companion hobby to reloading.
