I started using Jerrow’s inletting black about when it came out and was shown in the Brownells catalog about 1967. I tried other things but always came back to it. A couple years ago I ran out of...

It’s a simple fact ( in my book really!) that anything electronic can and often will fail usually at the worst possible moment. Weighing or even checking a powder charge is serious business never to...

Really a whole new ram for any of the Herters presses would be a simple basic make for anyone with a lathe and a mill. If I am not mistaken even the slot that the RCBS shell holder fits in is based...

I always seem to be looking for some odd item like this and if it’s not available through normal channels I usually do an internet search. You can try Google but usually it’s a waste of time.

Many people really need to record their old family stories. I think it is said that as long as the stories are told and the old peoples names are mentioned they still live.

You are so right. Keep moving, keep the mind and body busy. What is painful is watching life long friends sitting in their chair staring at the TV and just living from one meal to the next.

12 cottontails so far and the inserts are working fine. If you want to get that old double going again this seems to be a safe, fun way to do it!

Sounds like you have everything laying there to do it, why not. The barrel could be sleeved the way deHaas showed. It works well and might make an interesting very usable field gun.

You can do it. Even Grumpa had to start somewhere. In many ways the side operations of reloading, case forming, bullet swaging etc are just as satisfying as banging out a million reloads on a Dillon....

That was him all right. He sent me some of the first 22 Jet brass that he came up with for testing. Good stuff and still using it. I don’t think there was a caliber he wouldn’t try and do well.
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
We had a fellow here a couple of years ago. Made some darn fine brass he did. I think he has passed now but I would encourage you to go for it.

OK. Found attachments on my CP but don’t see how to manage attachments. I can shrink the pictures but don’t see how to bring them over
You can also blow out 303 British. It I have found the extractor may override on some guns if they are a little loose.
