I know a gent who swears by paper patching. I thought it might be a good candidate to play with.
I also have a Circuit Judge chambered in 45 Colt.

I just picked up a real nice vintage Lee mold for a 172 grain wadcutter. I thought I might try it for paper punching with the Ruger Vaquero. If I can find a good load, I might even try it in the...

But it has to be cold. I keep mine in the refrigerator. In fact, a local store had a 99 cent promotion recently. I have 6 cans in there.
Same here. The guy who got me started casting gave it to me in 1976. It still works just fine.

I wear a Tagua dual snap. It's the most comfortable one I've found for a 1911 sized gun. I bought a Galco that looked just like it, but started to separate within days after I purchased it. ...

I posted elsewhere that I went into their shop in Hartford. One of the things I needed was a retainer ring for my single stage press. It was backordered. He pulled it off of his own working press,...

Not gun related, but this reminded me of an instructor I had. We had a student, an older gent, who would sit and tap a diskette on the desk while he read. You know, the way some people will tap a...

My boy started with a cap gun. I still remember him standing on the porch showing his mother how to unload it before she could bring it in the house. I used pets as indicators. I watched how he...

Makes sense. Menards Lumber up here sells groceries, dishwashers, and gun safes. :lol:
I was hesitant to buy these because there was such a range of prices for muffs with similar ratings. My wife found a pair at Harbor Freight for $14! I also have hearing loss and tinnitus. I...

I don't know about Alliant, but yesterday the salesman at Scheels told me to expect a 4 to 6 month wait on getting anything from Hodgdon.

I have a Harbor Freight one that I've had for nearly ten years now. I also have a set of Starrett micrometers from my engine building days. They each read the same.

Over the weekend I was in the Fleet Farm stores in Fondulac and Oshkosh. Both had at least a dozen different powders in stock. Just because your favorite gun shop doesn't have it, doesn't mean the...

I agree. Every now and again we will see an ad for something that reminds us of something in the attic we could get rid of. In nearly every case, the ad gets flagged in a matter of minutes. The...

I used a big Thumler Vibratory for 20 years before I was introduced to ultrasonic cleaning. After about 500 shells through the solution, I sold the Thumler.

Funny that no one else has mentioned this; When you make a purchase using PayPal, the vendor never sees your credit card or bank account number.
I once set up a computer network for an auto...

Interesting. I have a Circuit Judge that I really enjoy shooting. so much so that I bought my sister one. I called the shop in Minnesota and gave them my credit card and had her go in and actually...

I'm surprised your ads don't get flagged. Up here advertising a garage sale with Sporting Goods is enough to get flagged. I have a real problem buying lead. Most places, including salvage yards,...

And they look almost good enough to eat! Nice job. I wish it would warm up a bit so I could go shoot some.

Why not leave it all together and add shot to the pan until it levels? Then take it apart and pour it in. :)

Never had scalloped potatoes any other way until I got married and she made it with ham. I cured her of that.
One of my favorites is still to grind it with a couple of sweet pickles, mix it with...

Personally, I'm always reminded of a buddy who was asking $30,000 for a well worn ten year old Harley; "But honey, I'm trying to sell it. People just aren't buying." :)
Forum: Our Town
Same here. Doesn't matter if it's buying bullets, cars, trucks or houses. If you aren't willing to list a price, you obviously don't really want to sell.

Not the case around here. Two or three years ago we picked up 3 nearly full five gallon buckets of shells right after the snow melted. In the entire pile, after sorting, I only got about 400 9mm's,...

+1 on this. I use a gel cell motorcycle battery for mine. If it gets low, I have a plug in in the saddlebag that allows it to recharge while I ride. You need to specify that you want this. My...
