#319295 was actually introduced in Ideal Handbook No. 17 of 1906, as one of the first gas check designs for the new "high power" smokeless loadings. It was also available with a separate tip mould...

I found the answer to what this was on the forum, a member named FloodGate provided the information in a post from about 15 years ago.

As a hull scrounger I'm starting to see Winchester Diamond Grade hulls show up, not in large quantities, but they're there.
Essentially they are AA/HS hulls with high brass. I don't load them...

I run the share ware "Apache", sometimes when I C&P to MSWord it turns into a mess, but the Apache translated over to the forum verbatim. I'm working on some ads for January- being a slow typist...

Test to see if Apache documents will cut and paste to the CastBoolits forum page.
1- To see is spacing will maintain parameter
2- To see if special characters will not be compromised in the...

Consider Rt 84 to RT 81 to Rt77 to Rt 26 then pick up 95 in SC and head south- it's a smoother ride than 95. Crossing Fancy Gap is pretty scenic, do some of the Blue Ridge Parkway, there is the 8th...

Go to the top of the page, click "outdoorsman" there is a section for knife making and what not. The same people will probably see your post here, but you may find some information that you are...

In a Jim Harrison book, his backwoods character goes to the city and stands out like a sore thumb- his perfect disguise is green utility dungarees. Assumed to be maintenance where ever he goes. ...

Heck. I picked up a 7 drawer Kennedy chest for a fiver at the last swop meet I went to. A little sheet metal work and a can of Krylon it looks & works fine, also scored an 18 inch Chapin & Stephens...

I'm hesitant to post, but shall anyway. I think that you'll find being in someone's shop and "helping" that having your own common tools will aid you in progressing. The "do you have a rule that I...

It's not a specific job, but it is a pretty amazing apprenticeship with a fortune 200 company, then a job with superior benefits. NuCor is having a hard time hiring people with skills. It's the...

I've not had much luck with photos on this site, but will try a few from my shop. 308605308606

Bought a cigar box full of odds and ends at the Farmers Market this morning. Some cool old stuff- the coolest being Remington Rockets! These were sold in a "chicklets" pack of 28 .22 shorts. From...

It was a great day when I got mine, know now that money was pretty tight for my folks back then but happy kids are happy kids. Hard to believe that was over 50 years ago, still hangs over a...

Thanks for the kind words, gents! Froggie- Looks probably better than it is- aluminum barrel that is lined with steel and I think the "receiver" is mostly chrome and pot metal - still a fun...

Hawes single shots were made by Sauer in Berlin and imported to the US into the '70's as near as I can find. They seem simple and reasonably well made, but with rather flimsy plastic grips - this...

Same information again, one of the guys I shoot with has a Yildiz 28 gauge- lovely and light and priced right. 28's are easier to load, seemingly easier to find shells for, and not that much more...

Canadian Industries Limited, as near as I can find these are pre-1954 (please correct me if you know better). They look like lacquered paper hulls.

When I posted this I thought they were pretty cool, but fully intended to give them a try. Didn't know that in the old days they were different sizes! Thanks for the heads up 15meter!

Well, a trick that was suggested to me is as follows. Take a small "AA" battery size Maglite, a turn or two of masking tape and it will fit nicely into a modified choke. Put on the tightest beam...

I picked up a Benchmaster on craigslist- very, very light duty, but has done everything I've asked of it. Restored and put a base under it.
