"Don't screw over your friends"

Being from Texas, I would say, chili, of course. :)

I looked up the .458 Lott. It seems to be pretty much exactly what I was thinking about when I suggested a straightwalled case made from the .300 Win Mag brass. Oh well... So much for having an...

Have you tried chrono-ing them? It might be interesting to see what they would do with a full load of powder. From what I've been able to gather, the glue sticks are pretty close to the density of...

I've wondered before whether it might be possible to use wooden bullets cut from wooden dowels. Looking on Lowe's site right now, I see 3/8" diameter dowels that are 48" long for $0.98. If you...

Some people also use wax bullets.

Here's one article on heat treating lead:

I seem to remember hearing that lead does not act like steel. If you heat it and slowly cool it, it hardens instead of...

Looks like the .300 Win Mag brass would fit a .458" bullet if converted to a straight walled case. The brass would probably last longer also. Basically, you would be creating a round that could use...

.300 Win Mag shotgun? Well, you did say that barrel was worn out, so you're nearly already there, right? :)

That is one of the reasons that we have "contractor's / mechanic's liens".

Well, if *everything* goes right, they can get away with some of the stuff that they do, but if something goes wrong, it's going to bite someone. Not running power to a light receptacle before the...

I usually get mine at Powder Valley. Sometimes I can find some surplus powder that I figure I can use over at Jeff Bartlett's site. He currently has some IMR7383 which is supposedly the equivalent...

I've helped friends add lighting or outlets to older houses before and some of the stuff that you see up there, you have to wonder about. I've seen lighting wired so that there is still a hot wire...

Nawh, it was just a link to an image on wiki that I found. I remembered seeing that type of wiring, but didn't know what to call it in my Google search, so I ended up getting some rather strange...

So, the rats from Cook County have escaped? :)

So, 2-conductor Romex is no longer allowed. How about 3-conductor?

Some of us are old enough to remember houses with the bare wiring in the...

I suspect it is going to depend upon whether you consider yourself a suburb of San Antonio or Houston. :)

I always try to max out the order by weight so that the HAZMAT charge is diluted per pound as much as possible. This usually means at least 50 lbs per order. If I'm lucky, a couple of other...

I try not to attract them. If they came, I might be tempted to shoot one and then I would have to haul it out of the woods and I'm getting too old and feeble to do that. The idea of hauling a deer...

I saw a house get gutted a few years ago due to a fire that started in the detached garage. From the burn pattern, it looked like the fire probably started as a fuel leak on a car, then spread to...

From what I've read, a pump action rifle is quicker in putting rounds on target than a lever action. For some reason though, you just don't see many of them other than in .22. There have been a...

One thing that you might want to consider though is that once you get into the price of a Mini-14 new, you are also in the price range of some of the AR-15 kits. For example, the Del-Ton rifle kit...

Yeah, that was their "Mini-30".

I was also thinking Mini-14, but wasn't sure whether their current price was $500 or less though. I'm pretty sure I paid less than $500 for mine, but that was *quite* a few years ago.

A Russian...

Around here, they like to put the hot water heaters in the attics. I guess they think that this makes them more centrally located so you get quicker hot water than when they are located in the...

OK, *finally* someone that is a moderator responds. I was just curious if it was intentionally disabled or if whoever set the software up just didn't know about that feature. I had seen it enabled...
