All I use; I generally end up using my heater though. Of course it doesn't get quite as hot up here :coffee:. I can't remember what its smell reminds me of, but I like it & it's a great lube @ a...

Of what you have on hand, Unique. I found a deal on some NOS WST a while back & am still shooting that right now, when it's gone I'll probably go back to the Unique.

I swung by my LGS the other day & nearly tripped over an ice cream tub of ingots, 50+ pounds for $30. Supposedly it's from X-ray lead, I know I can scratch real easy w/my thumbnail & the ingots all...

I would say that their QA/QC is all over the map, e.g., I bought a bag of 100 .223 about 2 years ago, the count was right, but there were 21 .204 cases. Luckily I also own a .204, after that one I...
If you've got any snow on the ground, (with all this Polar Vortex stuff), that will also screw things up, set it up on top of a piece of cardboard. I figured this out when my 45-70 started launching...

After 20+ years in the infantry, I think I've completely lost my taste for roughing it. That being said I don't really consider having a tent, fart-sack & fire really roughing it. Sometimes life...

I invariably check, but since most of my travel involves airlines it doesn't do much good, the thought of swallowing a pound's worth of 4895-filled balloons doesn't thrill me, (not to mention...

Now that is something I hadn't thought of; you guys are all coming up on deer season then. I guess I've lived up here too long, our seasons open up in August & September, by November you've pretty...

Menner,
Thanks for the quick reply! It is amazing to me that I thought I had managed to explain everything so concisely and upon re-reading my post, it's as clear as mud. For starters, none of...

I'll try to keep this short. Every Thanksgiving my siblings, their children & grandkids, and myself all get together in Rehobeth Beach for the holiday. Last T-giving my nephew's wife...

Not the Model 34, just the grips; walrus ivory & the scrimshaw looks way nicer than the photos.:grin: These came from my duck-hunting partner; it's going to take me awhile to catch up from...
Hey gang-
The time has come for me to scope my M1A-NM. What I would really like is a Nightforce, but my bank account says that is a no-go, I've been thinking of a Leupold VX-3 3.5-10X40, but then...

Mine is a .222/20ga; the only thing I would add to what has already been stated is stay away from the synthetic stocked versions that they made right before the Model 24 was discontinued. Very...

+1 to what everyone else has told you, I use straight WW with a little lead-free solder thrown in. I realize that you're interested in wadcutters, but my 586 absolutely loves the Lee 358-158-RF in...

I don't have any experience shooting cast in .223/5.56, however I can tell you that it will do fine w/ j-words. Also, you may want to check spec's; IIRC from my time working @ the LGS, Tikka's...

I really like your meerschaum bulldog, exactly what I was looking for about 10 years back; I found a bent one that grew on me. My collection is around 20, mostly Peterson's & I smoke a local...

I really like the new Leupold flip-ups, but they're $80+ a pair, and only fit newer Leupold's. I use the Butler Creek's on most everything that I can fit them on, I have a couple where the bolt...

Mine was a Yugo 8 X 57 that I picked up for a song, all matching numbers & a bore that looks unfired. I bought a couple of boxes of older Privi ammo to make sure it went bang & headed to the range. ...
