Congratulations on your deer!

I was able to get to the range about ten days ago to do some tweaks to my sights and try some longer distance shooting just to see what I could get. Anyways, I was able to shoot out to two hundred yards with my handloads, and was very happy with the results. 160 gr. Hornady FTX, with one grain less ...

Today is the first time I’ve been able to get on here I almost two weeks.
Glad it’s back to allowing me to visit

I should add that in NewYorkistan where I reside, one is required to do a background check to purchase ammunition. I don’t load for handgun (yet) and I don’t shoot it as much (probably should) as my rifles, so I just purchase for that. Components are not (yet) required to have background checks as o...

I load the same for all my cartridges. Probably not as meticulous as others, but I try and keep what I do as consistent as possible. I don’t however weigh brass, bullets, and such. Maybe I should? I clean all my brass by hand, and use a beam scale and weigh out each powder load by hand, on a Lee sin...

I started making knives a few years before I retired, which lead to making leather sheaths, which led to other leather products. It’s been about 12 years now. I retired in 2018 and started working full time the next day for myself, and from November until Christmas I was working 12-13 hours a day, s...

Thank you all for the kind words! It is greatly appreciated! Good idea. Thanks! I am thinking about placing a small pouch with a snap down flap on the butt cuff to hold 5 or 6 rounds instead of the cartridge loops. I've found that making a pattern or template is about 50% of any leather project. I a...

Beautiful!
Congratulations!

Wow! Impressive work! I make a few leather items too. Great hobby for making your own gear and forgetting about work for a while. I want to try a butt cuff for a Winchester Trapper next. When I did my first butt cuff, I wrapped my stock with plastic wrap and then with that blue painters tape. Then ...

I was asked to post some of my leatherwork. I’m a retired Physical Education teacher and Football Coach. I’ve been retired for going on eight years now and needed something to pass my time with, so I started to make some things. Here are a few pics as requested. Thank you for looking! If this is aga...

I know sometimes it may be uncomfortable, and cliche, but I appreciate the sacrifice that you all made for us to live the life we do.
Thank you!

Thank you all for the warm welcome! Yes I did make the cartridge cuff. I do a little leatherwork, cartridge cuffs, ammo wallets, slings, and things of that nature. They are the 160 FTXs and they do shoot very well out of my 94. I handload them with a good load of the Hornady Leverevolution powder an...

I’ve been a member for a while and I’ve just never got around to posting. Lost sight of this site for a bit and recently found it again. I’m not an aficionado on levers but I do love them. Grew up on Saturday morning westerns. I have a run of the mill 1980 Winchester model 94, that shoots well and c...
