Good idea ! Thanks.

I have two AR15's, I sold the third one to my brother last year. They are very accurate and fun to shoot.
Have fun !!!

Prayers for relief for you friend. See the doc soon !

Ain't that the truth ?

I have a 26" Canadian cent. 94 . It is a well balanced and very accurate rifle. I have fired many one ragged hole five shot groups at 50 yd. it's only hindered by my old eyes even with a Williams FP rear that's as good as I can do these days.

I bought a 12 year old but unfired ,new in box, Ruger .41 mag. In because the front sight had been installed crooked. A call to Ruger service was done first. The nice lady said if it was a factory error it would be repaired for free. I paid for shipment to Ruger , they not only replaced the front si...

I just read the latest issue of the fouling shot. There is a good write up on the .30 carbine and both jacketed and cast loads. The author said his Ruger BlackHawk will outshoot , group wise at 100 yd ,than any old or new carbine he has tested. A good read. I have owned a couple over the years and s...

Great news and thanks to God !

Nice

I have the materials and have been planning to make a couple sets myself.
I need to get to it.

Epoxy that cures slowly will be stronger than if it cures fast. There is a limit to how much cold they can take though. Sometimes I just put a light bulb near by and cover with something to help contain some of the warmth.

The little dog would go better on a fly tying bench. I see a nose in the middle of all that streamer material.

Pretty cool !

That bill has been amended to only cover bumpfire stocks I have heard. Before it was so vague that even installing any
After market trigger would be against the law. Mine have Timney triggers in them
A quality trigger makes a blaster into an accurate rifle.
Washington government really does suck.

IME, (E for experience) not a problem. Maybe in some .357 rifle barrels, but not in mine. Years ago, I read and saved an article on using 9mm fmj at moderate velocity for turkey loads in a .357 rifle. The author provided load data and so I tried it in my old 1892 with 20 inch Douglas .357 barrel an...

Yellow is happy for you , green is jealous of your good luck.

A friend indeed. Wow , just wow !!!

To most folks a barrel is a barrel, so a gun barrel became abbreviated as bbl, as well.

Yep - That's my story, too, and I'm keepin' to it !

+1.

It sounds like they load their guns without a patch around the ball.

Cool , I will be looking forward to that one. My copy has not arrived yet.

I made my own bushing style sizing die. The die body does not need to be hardened,only the bushings , that I make out of O1
Drill rod. So far I have bushings in .510 and .381 . It's nice to have a lathe.

Yes , prayers up friend. Keep us informed.

Gun shows around here are sad affairs. Same old overpriced junk every time. Not to mention the Beanie Babies and beef jerky.

It's a hand vise. Used to hold small parts while making/working on them. The screw that tightens the jaws is not in the picture and would be in the bottom of the frame if the photo had been taken right.

As you can see , there are a bunch of choices out there. Neatsfoot will soften and make leather limp if over used.
Most commercial leather dressings will work quite well.

Skidmoors is the best I have found. It conditions and feeds leather without making it soft or darkening very much.
It is made by a family in Montana and has a big following by leather crafters. Find it on Google.

If you load bullets much heavier than 170 gr. The rifle won't fully stabilize them unless you are pushing them to near max.
Velocity. I found that out playing with my Win. 94 .32 Sp. You won't get enough velocity out of BP. I like 5744 also.

Like Nath , I found an old Cowboy hat at a garage sale , five X Beaver, I made a bunch of wads out of it.

A good deed never goes unpunished.

I bought mine used but in excellent condition. It was owned by a well known local gun nut who dad passed. I size my cast bullets to .381 using a shop made push through sizing die. Loaded in unmodified Star Line brass they chamber Easily and shoot very accuratly. It is possible that the previous owne...

I had better not loose mine then. I have both the one for the sight and the one that goes on your glasses. There must be some old stock sitting somewhere. Maybe a few phone calls will uncover one ?

I have two straight grip long barreled Uberty 73's. One in .45 and one in .32-20. Both are fine shooters.

I believe he was. Chuck Connors also was ambidextrous.

It's soooo cold out I saw one Rabbit trying to push start another one !!!

Lids off of margarine,cool whip,chip dip containers etc. are usable as wads. A cutter can be made by sharpening the mouth of a cartridge case and will last long enough to make plenty for a test run. Super glue them to bullet bases.Have fun.

Prayers up for Paco.

I suspected as much. Cylinders/packing do fail sometimes. Good for you !

He says "loading +P ammo. Probably shooting hard bullets in that load , slow powder,heavy neck tension and crimp needed. I would think .003" would be fine with proper belling at the mouth to prevent lead shaving at seating. The case expander plug is in the expander die of a three die set. ...

Brownells Mag Tip .

My first reloading experience was helping my dad reload .244 Remington on a Lyman 310 tool. Many years ago he loaned it to a friend and never got it back.

I still have his Redding scale with factory box that has a $5.00 factory printed price on it.

The RCBS cowboy die set has a slightly larger expander plug made special for cast bullet loading. They are also not bright stainless , but have an old timey looking finish and brass colored locking rings. I believe that internal dimensions are slightly smaller to aid in feeding through leverguns. I ...

It must have been bumped or dropped at some point damaging it. I have never tried to dissasemble one myself.
Sorry , no help here but here is a bump anyway. Good luck !

, thanks, I needed that !

Since you know the chamber neck diameter you will need to compare that to a loaded rounds diameter with the bullet that you will be shooting seated. You should have at least a couple thousands clearance to allow bullet release. You can also cause bullet pinch by having cases that are longer than the...

The only time I experienced bullet pinch was when I sized some Win. .308 brass down to .243 without turning ( thinning) The necks. Using my regular medium load in them I imediatly was getting extreame pressure signs. As I did not have neck turning Tools at the time, I scrapped that brass and bought ...

I see in your picture how the setup is done. The test can be done with the ram in the unextended position. Withdraw the piston all the way and undo that red fitting from the cylinder base end. No need to completely remove it to see if fluid is bypassing the pistonseals it will gush out at the loose ...

Find the hose that is pressurized when the cylinder is extended to full stroke. Loosen or remove the other hose from the cylinder. Start the engine and move the lever to the extend position, oil should not gush out of the open port. If it does, your piston packing is bad. Control valves rarely fail ...
