Re: Lee Liquid Alox
Does Alox dry to a completely tack free state or will it pick up dust and dirt over time / handling. Is that the reason for the 45-45-10 stuff? To change the way it ends up in a dried state? I use it for all my cast bullets, rifle, pistol and muzzleloader. No leading problems at all using published...

Re: Do you clean your guns after each time you shoot?
Gun cleaning is another excuse to mess with my guns which, I enjoy almost as much as shooting and hand-loading.
I seldom take the same gun to the range twice in the same year. I don't believe I will ever wear out a gun by over cleaning.

Re: .22 handguns
My first was a H&R 922 purchased from the town's shady second-hand dealer when I was 14.
I later traded it to the same dealer for a High Standard Double-Nine. After it was stolen, my first new handgun was a Ruger Mark I.
I've since added a Single-Six Bisley and a Frontier Scout.
