Here it goes, gents.
Alloys were quite hard. .308 and .358 used a mix of wheelweights and linotype, waterquenched. .280 used straight linotype. We discussed the matter, but the man argued that...

In Speer's Reloading Manual number 9 I saw a reference of a wildcat 8mm/338 called "Poor Man's Magnum". Nice nickname, no doubt. So "poor man's zebras' are those equines that differ from true zebras...

Rbstern, I've been shooting/hunting with Rossi 92 .357 mag. carbines along 20 years. Never used nothing lighter than 158 gr. casts on them. Those 158s at 1800 fps. are accurate in my carbines, and ...

Just a curiosity: How does solid vaselin perform as a bullet lube, say, for .45 ACP aplications?

This is a joke published in PUNCH magazine, around 1900, but, I'm afraid still quite current.

Classical surgical treatment - laminectomy- in a case like ours (a similar condition affects myself) is not a guarantee of improvement. Honest statistics (a contradiction? LOL) show 30% worsening,...
