If I smelt PC bullets will I have a gooey mess in the dross or will the PC burn down to ash?

Thanks for the replies - answered my question.

Best money I have ever spent on aftermarket parts was the Volquartsen hammer and sear kit for a 22/45. There's even a Volquartsen YouTube video showing how to install it. With the stock Ruger parts...

Another Allopurinol believer here. Years ago I had some minor flares that I could treat with OTC Ibuprofin, and then I had one in my right foot that was not just the big toe but included the top of...

I load .303 for more than one rifle so for the sake of interchangeable rounds I don't neck size cases. I know which rifle has the tightest chamber so I get fired cases that won't chamber in that...

Green Dot because that's what I had on hand. I got very good results with 311291 bullets using an M-die for expanding and a Lee Factory Crimp Die to remove the bell on the case mouth.

When I firelapped .45 Colt and .357 Blackhawks I used Clover compound abrasive grease and was sure to use a bullet larger than throat diameter so it will be a snug fit in the forcing cone and rear of...

My D5 bought new in the late 60s does not have the big D5 sticker on the frame. It has a Lyman Ohaus D5 sticker where yours has the D5 sticker and does not have the sticker on the bottom of the...

Before you disconnect or cut the wires to the wall-mounted switch put a big loose knot in it to prevent it falling into the hole in the wall. How do I know this?

No one has mentioned the M3 grease gun. Fun because it was so controlable. We had them in our Guard unit back in the 70s. Being safety officer or range officer was always a good assignment because...

I've returned two 22/45s to Ruger and they replaced both of them instead of repairing. I made the mistake of returning both magazines with the first one, but only one with the second one. In the...

Cantaloupe, watermelon, or even lettuce scraps will work with a live trap.

buying savings stamps at school that could be redeemed for a savings bond when the booklet was full.

Lunch room milk was in a pint or half pint bottle with a pasteboard cap with a peel-up tab. It...

I finished a can of BC spray sight black years ago, and a search recently turned up nothing. They probably didn't sell enough of it since so few people seem to use iron sights anymore, and those...

Dry the bore before photographing. Greatly reduces glare and some tiny pits can fill with oil and not be as visible.

I never even tried any petroleum products because you're only killing the ants on or near the surface. I have killed dozens of fire ant mounds reliably with Ortho Orthene bait, which is carried into...

I saw a shooter using one at the range just a few days after I read about it in Rifle or Handloader, and I just couldn't believe it even when I saw it in person. The fellow using it was convinced...

I like Monkey Shoulder, a reasonably priced scotch that is a blend of (I think) three single malts. Not blended with grain alcohol like most scotch blends. Glenmorangie is good too. Glenfiddich is...

The latest Rifle magazine has an article by Terry Wieland giving a condensed history of the Snider-Enfield. There is a passage in that article "when the supply of convertible Enfields ran out, they...

Today I bought a Spartan in lightly used, good condition. All it needed was cleaning and lubrication and it's ready to go. All the critical parts were there, even the priming arm. The best news is...

When first notified that the new server was in place, when I logged in all I got was several lines of computer gibberish. Now I can log in, I get a message reading "Invalid Redirect URL...

It's been said before but bears repeating - get a quote on bundling all of your policies with one of the larger companies. Also go with higher deductibles on auto policies. I also like having an...

I got a set of Lyman 45/70 dies in like new condition for $15 because no one in the area apparently loaded 45/70. I also got a medium-sized 2-burner Coleman multifuel stove in very good condition...

The SAAMI spec. for the mouth of a 9mm round is .3800 so you're awful close, probably within tolerance.

I cleaned out a Lyman 45 several years ago that I bought at an estate sale. I put it in a coffee can of water on the Coleman stove and it didn't have to reach boiling. The lube, which appeared to...

You might check prices on bundling all of your insurance with one company. It may not save you a lot of money but it makes dealing with your insurance carrier a lot easier.
