I just purchased an old Stevens 311C 16 gauge shotgun. It was made in 1958 and looks to be in good shape. It does have some surface rust that has worked into the blueing, very minor though. What...

God Bless your family Boerrancher, I'm glad he's going to be OK. My little 18 month old grandaughter broke her arm on Monday and that broke my heart. Its heart rending to see the little ones hurt.

I use an 80/20 mix of JPW/LLA on all my boolits, TL and non-TL, handgun and long gun. I have had good results, no leading. I dont push them to hyper velocities though.
I just acquired an Armscor 1911 in 38 Super. It's a beauty(in my eyes), I'll post pics when I get my new grips. I have never loaded for this caliber and am seeking any guidance you can offer to...

I live in the steamy south. Right now my casting pot is sitting with the ingots I put in back in March. If I dont get my casting done by the end of March it has to wait until October. From mid-Oct...
