Wow. It has been a long time since I was on this board so imagine my surprise to get an email update on this post.
Dustdevil,
I have not fire the gun in this original post in probably a year and...

Update...I got sticker shock when looking at these sights. I wanted MVA but decided on the Lee Shaver sight because of cost. I finally had the chance to fire the rifle with the Lee Shaver sight. I am...

I'm trying!

Thanks. That is what I needed. Search didn't find that thread when I tried it.

A friend of mine is an electrician doing a job at a local hospital. He saved some disguarded strips of lead from an X-Ray room for me. If I understand him correctly, the room was lined with sheets of...

drcrock, Thanks for taking the time to write this. Thank you to everyone else for their responses. I feel better about making the decision for a long range sight.

Mark

Thanks all for your suggestions.

Why would I buy medium range rear sight? Is there any advantage to a medium range sight over a long range sight? Right now I have easy access to a 200 yards range,...

I purchased my first Pedersoli 1874 Sharps rifle in 45/70 recently. I am looking to add a Soule rear sight. Is one manufacturer better than another? I was speaking to a person at my gun club who said...

This is an interesting post (as Bill's posts usually are). To answer the original question, yes, I had my level check about 6 years ago. It was 25 (parts per million maybe?). The doctor was shocked!...

Interesting.

Race set-up?!?!? I am not that guy! The 11/87 is my Turkey gun with a magazine extension. 3 gun is all about fun for me (and trying to beat my buddy who is that guy!). As for magazine capacity,...

I would never have thought of that. Good idea. So which has lighter recoil, 7/8 ounce or 1 ounce?

I got the impression that the slug works only in rifled barrels from Lee's website:
Cut and...

I am looking for some help on casting 12 guage slugs (on the cheap) and light, low recoil loads that cycle in a Remington 11/87. Let's start here: I have been casting pistol bullets for years. I know...

Thanks for the help everyone.

I am thinking about getting a Ruger 10/22. I am a NY resident and I have no clue how to identify pre-ban hi-cap mags for the 10/22. I have seen sellers at local gunshows say that they are selling...

Answer to the first question, Yes because Thompson designed it that way. Yes, the newer ones are made this way. Last question answer, I have no idea if the new rebuild kits fit this mold. That being...

Bill,
I purchased my 429421 4 cavity about 8 months ago. My alloy (20lbs WW + .5lbs tin) drops a .431 bullet by my micrometer measurement and a .431 sizing die just touches the bands. I am not sure...

I prefer to shoot handguns with cast bullets. I can do a lot with WW231/HP-38. 296/H110 next for magnum loads (but if I were on a tight budget, 2400 goes farther with minimal loss of fps). For the...

Interesting. In reviewing the +P cases that I was using, they all had the crimp ring in the side of the case as you describe. I am going to experiment a little more when I get some time and post some...

I liked 800x the best in my 10mm loads for my Glock G20 (180 & 200 grain bullets). The only problem I had was getting my Dillon to throw a consistant charge. I settled on WW231. I didn't keep...

I recently aquired a good supply of mixed manufacture 38 Special +P brass (nickel cases). I know Starline states that their 38 Special +P brass is no different (except for headstamp) than their 38...

Thanks for the info. Yep, $13 a pair is pretty sweet.

Do Lee 6 cavity mold handles fit 4 cavity Saeco molds? Also, will Lyman new style 4 cavity mold handles (by new style I mean recent 4 cavity plyer type) fit 4 cavity Saeco molds? I am thinking about...

My 1911 has a Blued Crown City Arms frame, Colt Slide, and Series 70 NM barrel. I purchased it about 3 months ago from a friend. I had not heard of Crown City Arms before this gun. I would not have...
