I haven't seen the fluid ones that Jon-E and Zippo make, but I always liked the charcoal hand warmers.

Though I prefer to use a blade, work made it necessary to shave very quickly for a number of years. I have a Braun Series 7 that has been going strong for over a decade. I've only replaced the blade...

With the CB search function, I’ve found it doesn’t like single, short search terms, especially numbers. Try something like “45-70 light loads” and I bet you it will work.

Finished my long-running reloading bench project—begun 2021, completed 2024.

I've been using the bench ever since I made the base back in December 2021.

A year later, I put together...

James, I have researched this same question a lot, because I got into trap reloading recently, and Cheddites were the only thing available in any quantity. I've looked all over several different trap...

Did you run multiple dies together or just one at a time with the pins? I wonder about denting depending on the number of dies in the drum.

To the other good suggestions I'll add the Savage 340 as a model to look for. Bolt-action with five-shot magazines, and can be had affordably. They usually have the 1-16 twist which is not ideal for...

Thanks for your replies. I wasn't able to get more pictures uploaded until today. Here first are a couple pics of my press:

Next is the floating punch holder. The bolt in the top...

I'd believe they're 5/8-24, it was a bit tough to tell whether there were 11 or 12 in the half-inch I counted (because the threads taper off at the end). There was no list of calibers but there were...

I bought a lot of swaging equipment, and have been piecing together what I can. I wanted to ask for some expert help after spending quite a bit looking into this myself. Here's the first pic.

+2. I get these when casting heavy 45-cal bullets in an aluminum mold. If I start working with a second mold, and let the large 45-cal bullets cool in the mold for a bit, I get bases that look like...

Resurrecting this thread because I've come into a set of swaging gear with one big similarity: it has a bunch of dies that fit an old SAS ram, but also a bunch of dies that are smaller and have a...

As can be seen in the middle picture, the hammer is round on one face and flattened on the other. The handle has a lot of marks on it from I don't know what. One of my ideas is maybe the five metal...

I have had these for a while now. They came to me from a yard sale, along with a great little pot that holds about 25 lbs of lead. Because they came with the pot I have wondered if they're related to...

Thanks!

Ramrod, what is your twist?





Now that's pretty cool.

Nice blind, nice bullet, nice shot.

#1 I would hit it with Kroil and come back later. It's the best penetrating fluid I've ever used, works like magic.

#2 When I have moved or replaced dovetail sights, I found that I needed to hit...

In one Handloader magazine that discussed classic and modern 45-70 loads, the author recommended 5 grains of black, followed by a card wad, two lubricated wads, and then a .457 round ball pushed down...

One follow-on thought: Ed Harris's article "'The Load' is 13 Grains of Red Dot" could be easy to misread. That article said that

"'The Load' of choice in most .30 and .303 calibers was 13 grains...

Midway was out of Starline 45-70 for quite a long time, but more recently they've had it come into stock several times. The most recent I'm aware of was about 5 or 6 weeks ago, but I haven't been...

Just a plug for alexanderkidd's Marlin 1895 for sale over in swappin' and sellin'. He's down to $900 on this gun, which comes fitted with an aperture sight and he says has had only about 200 rounds...

I was going more this direction on this question... Of course inflation has kicked prices on a lot of stuff up double, but the stories here are showing levers going up 4-6 times in price. I think the...

Actually this is a "leftover" mold (meaning I bought it from Miha's website) from an OLD group buy...the "227640 HORNET." 39 gr flat point or 37 gr HP. It's a 3-cavity, there were some neat options...

How many black powder rounds do you shoot in the 1911 in a session?
