BTW, if you do not want a box that traps moisture, add a couple of vents with screens.
I would KISS and staple window screening or landscape cloth to the bottom. I have that stuff laying...

I do not PC, but will offer my opinion. It will be better than lubed bullets.
For SHTF I only trust jacketed bullets for LT storage. Decades of history shows jacketed bullets will not affect...

This exchange confirms my belief that the Bible is not "divinely inspired". God's word has been corrupted by man for thousands of years. When people who are honest believers cannot agree on what...

I do not use a vice often in the reloading shop and normally it is for light duty work. I have mounted one on an In-Line plate and use the "docking" system they offer.

I bought some 9mm biodegradable paper straws from Amazon. $6.57 delivered for 66 straws 7.75" long.

Thanks for the advice. Love tapping into experience!!!
I have 3 lbs of Clay Dot left over from CAS loads that should be perfect. Will start at 1.5 gr and see how it goes.
Frankly, I have been looking for one for a long time. Either they were beat up or more than I wanted to spend. I would have preferred a 6" barrel but at the price...well...I can always take a...

Getting geeked up about this. After reading the post by TNsailorman, I wonder if I need any powder at all. I would be OK with an effective range of about 8 feet. That would eliminate the over...

Steve, just won an auction for a S&W 14-3 to be my wasp gun. $350.
Got to thinking about loads and want to tap your knowledge.
That "dent" from the wad has me concerned so was wondering if a...
Some damn enabler on this site (Steve Urquell) got me thinking about wasp rice loads.
I went to Gunbroker looking for a sub-$350 beater in .38 Spl to play with. Found a new Rock Island M206 for...
