I enjoy my old Kindle, but it can't beat a real book, either hard cover or paperback. Luckily, I have a great used book store nearby.

I bought an adjustable rotor for an RCBS Little Dandy measure from him. It is very well made and will be used a lot. Communication with him was great and shipping was prompt.
I got a box of lead from him last week. Promptly shipped and is well packaged. Good guy to deal with.

Not in the chamber itself, but just ahead of the chamber at the origin of the rifling. It isn't so bad with the 405 grain bullet and its shorter nose, but has been a problem for me with the 500...

I have found no need to use lube wads or fillers in .45-70 for a trapdoor with the Lee 405 grain bullet. Just 65 or so grains of FFG and a card wad pre-compressed so the bullet will seat to the...

I had mine done about 5 years ago. I didn't need correction for astigmatism, so I can't comment on that. I did go with good distant vision and reading glasses for close vision and am pleased with...

Shooting a black powder round. The bullet went where it was supposed to and gave a good reading. The fiber wad peeled off and hit the front of the screen. It didn't kill the Chronograph, but left...

Had mine done 5 years ago. They were done two weeks apart, and the procedure was amazingly fast.
It did wonders for my shooting with iron sights. For fine print or weird fonts, I need reading...

I bought one of these a while back. It works fine with my B&M measure.

Two boxes of his lead ingots arrived today. Lead looks to be very, very clean. Shipping was prompt, price was very fair, and it was well packaged.
When I need lead again, jetsfan-24 is the first...

RCBS has always been good to me. A few weeks ago I broke a part on a Lubamatic from the 60s or 70s. I sent a quick email describing the problem and asking if parts were still available. In less...

I had the same problem a while back from the repetitive motion of operating the reloading press. The doctor recommended the pressure band and naproxen. I followed his advice and although it took a...

I use a PAST recoil pad at times and like it. I also shoot a lot of military rifles with those steel butt plates. It is especially good when firing the .45-70 trapdoor with the 500 grain bullet...

Had both of mine done 4 years ago. Everything went well, and it really did help my shooting with iron sights.

I use an 80s vintage Thumlers. I have tried both ceramic and steel pins, and the pins seem to do better. Just a few drops of Dawn in the water does the trick.

Mine lights OK, but the flame isn't very big at all unless it is near full of butane.

I guess I am blessed. The club range I shoot at isn't very busy except for right before hunting season. I just follow the safety rules and have never had a problem. If I set it out at about 5...

IMR 4198 is doing well for me in the .30-30 and the .32 Winchester Special.

I shoot 452460 out of my Gold Cup. It is a very accurate bullet over 4.3 grains of Titegroup, but very touchy about OAL. 1.185 seems to be about right. Anything shorter leads to jams. I am still...
