I tried a couple different powders and settled on TiteGroup. I've never had any issues with it, and I probably put 2-3000 rounds through a gun between cleanings.

It was a few years ago that Dick's decided they would not sell rifles to anyone under 21. The law said 18 for rifles, but Dick's wanted to do some virtue signaling. I haven't been in one of their...

I've been following this thread since the beginning. I keep my mouth shut because y'all are far more experienced than I am. I do have a question or two that I'll throw out there.
If the primer...

I used to cast in jeans, but a small splash and a burn on my knee showed me that molten lead does not just roll off denim. HF sells a leather welding apron at about half the price of the Amazon model...

I wondered the same, but other threads on here have mentioned that the lube does more than just prevent leading. Apparently it would become more difficult to remove fouling. The consensus was PC if...
My favorite shooter is a 7.5" SBH with iron sights. I hunt woods from a blind or stand so my shots are realistically max'ed out at 50-75 yds, and that barrel is more than adequate. I'm not one of...
I'm a SBH fan. I bought a Redhawk to hunt with. It shot nice, but it just didn't fit my hand. I tried a couple aftermarket grips, but they were no better. I gave up on the gun, gave it to my...

As I put on the years, and since none of the kids are into hunting or shooting, I've been having similar thoughts concerning my guns, ammo, and reloading gear. I've discussed it with my wife a couple...

I build straight-up chili, no beans and no tomato products allowed in it. It doesn't need toppings, but I will allow some diced onions from time to time just to add a little crunch.

I'm no expert, but I'll chime in anyway. It's steel, so it probably needs to be heated well before it can be flattened. If it was me, I'd ask around and try to find someone nearby with blacksmithing...

I'll have to agree with a couple other responses here, the Winchester 1906 pump. I'm the third generation in our family to own it, starting with my grandfather when it was new back in 1909. It still...

I see the Corbin swage lube calls for hot water and soap. It mentions lanolin in the description. If this is the stuff being used, I found that the Purple Power degreaser removes lanolin easily.

Exactly. 3M 77 Spray is what I would go for.
I'm surprised that the white Elmer's glue (alaphitic???) doesn't work. Years ago I used to use it, thinned with water, and brushed onto foam cores to...

Age of the powder isn't factor for me. I'm using smokes powder from this site, its probably 6 years old, and works fine for me. It gets stored in the zip lock bags it came in, and spends Alabama...

I wonder if cleaning the containers good would help. Maybe wiping them down with acetone or other solvent. If the sides of the container are coated with fine particles of the powder, perhaps it is...

Both show up on ammoseek.com.
I see the Remington listed there from miwall.com. I just placed a primer order through miwall. They delivered as ordered, but the shipping was a little high for my...
We use one of endoscopes here at work for inspecting areas we can't see easily. It's from Amazon (search B0972QT3P8). The tip is 5.5mm, so about 22 caliber. It's got a 5" screen, rechargeable...

I've been shooting the Harvester high pressure sabots with 250 gr .429 SWC cast boolits. I haven't used them for hunting yet, but they are proving to have good accuracy at the range. They are giving...

The best fishing gift I ever received was a soft-sided tacklebox with the plastic trays. I questioned it at first, but it's my hands-down favorite now. The trays allow me to sort my tackle by species...

Sounds like you got this. My PID only does C, and it makes no difference in the notebook whether I take notes in C or F. You might save a buck or two getting a package off eBay, may be worth a quick...
None of our kids are even remotely interested in shooting, so it'll be up to me to get rid of the guns. When the topic came up in front of one of the kids, the comment was made that they'd probably...

A little explanation on GFCI breakers.
They have more wires because they are more than just a breaker. They do act as a breaker, for 20 amps in this case, but they also have a piece in them that's...

Years ago I hunted squirrels with a 12" scoped contender. Deadly accurate, and I preferred to take head shots when I could to keep from tearing up the meat. Sadly, while I still have the gun, it...

This was my first thought as well. But then I got to wondering. If so, then why wouldn't the cost of bolt rifles rise as much as the lever rifles? Lever rifles seem to have increased about 200% in a...

I'd second the thought on the Korean dishes. Tons of recipes out there. For me the bellies are good for appetizers, but a bit overwhelming as a main dish. Personally, when I get them they end up in a...
