The rotary mower has the standard side discharge with the plastic hinged chute/deflector. When mowing I see nothing being cast out. So I lift the chute to clear the clog and I see a second plastic...

I think my dehumidifier has gone on the fritz. The fan works perfectly and the compressor works good. The problem is the evaporator freezes over without letting any condensed water drip into the...

I have a Lee "Factory Crimp Die" for 45 ACP. I just run about a 1/2" or so of the 45/70 neck into the die. The carbide ring sizes the neck just enough to work perfectly. May be an option if you...

For the most part, I have found that the Lee design in a given caliber is never a bad choice.

Dangle it in front of a torpedo heater with the sizer and pressure nut removed. I suspend mine with wire from the 'arch" of a stepladder and aim the heater at it. Makes for a quick hassle free purge...

I have many 35 MM film negatives I am sorting through. I used to have a program that you could scan black & white negatives then invert the negative to positive. Does anyone know if there is a...

The early Ruger M-77 (Mark I ?) were push feeds despite having a Mauser style non-rotating extractor. The extractor was designed to snap over the rim. The later Mark II series M-77s were true control...

I have three iron RCBS Jr. presses for that kind of work - the last two I paid $20 for each. Lucky me.

Take a piece of masking tape and twist it into a "swizzle stick". Put a match to it and soot your sights.

My sister received a table-top butcher block/cutting board for a wedding gift 50 years ago. It's 12" X 12" and about 2" thick. There are four knob type feet in the corners. It has separated in two...

I had a Case diesel backhoe for 30 years. I ran nothing but K-1 Kerosene in it. Never had a problem in any weather or all the years I owned it.
A number of years ago I bought a used Lee single cavity mold with absolutely no markings. It casts a 310 Gr. hollow base bullet at .431". I use it in my Swiss and Italian Vetterli's. Group Buy?...

Well my thoughts were to use it in 577/450 Martini with smokeless. I've read that dacron has the potential to ring the chamber whereas kapok in this case is a better choice and maybe milkweed even...

I had read somewhere that Milkweed Fleece could be substituted for Kapok as case filler. My Milkweed will be ready in a week or two and I have no Kapok. Does anybody have any info on this? THX
