    Tenterfield whistles are a POP to make. Just google it. Fox whistling certainly is fun. I was doing OK for a long time, but lately they seem a lot more cagey where I am and getting hard to nail.

    Yeh, all you need is RGB Lee dies. Lube, there is more BS in forums about lube than a cattle yard. Gear box oil, used it for years. Currently coco nut oil for 30.06 and 223. Works fine for FLSing....
