Did a trade with a friend of mine for 7 buckets of lead containers and he threw in these melting pots with the deal. I'm going to open up one of them at lunch today and see how crusty the electrical...

Just my .02 but it does make sense to me. Our local GS has ammo on the shelf that anyone can purchase while it is out there and a stash in the back that can be purchased with a new gun. It's hard to...

60 grain boolit and 5gr of unique and you can shoot a long time on just a lb. of powder and lead. :drinks: if you can find 357 mag brass, it's kind of scarce right now.

Good to see there are a few others on here that have the itch. I've become a bit of a quarter bore fan over the last couple of years. Purchased a 12" 250 savage encore barrel from a member here a...

I have an almost uncontrollable itch for a 25TCU and was wondering if anyone out there has one of them or the 25 copperhead? How do you like it? How is it with cast? What type of firearm is yours...

I only have one in a 416 Rem mag but would like one in the 257 Roberts.

I have 2 of the S&W encore frames and they so-so, Nothing special and the triggers suck. Last weekend an opportunity presented its self to purchase a 6 digit serial number contender frame with the...
I have had good luck with 19.5 of H110 with the 358627 sized .358 in a TC 20" custom shop tube. It will print 3 shot groups into a quarter at 50 yards. We have taken 4 deer with it in the last...

My oldest has a newer model in 358 and likes it a lot. I'm contemplating getting one myself

I had a chance to go on a combo camping trip/squirrel hunt with some friends end of last month and took the old Hamilton out for a run.
We didn't get very many but had a great time none the...

I looked one time and think it was mountain state had some brass that took a primer/black powder and a round ball but they were like $5 each. I haven't seen any ammo in a while. Best of luck in your...

I don't have one in an AR but do have a Browning Ultra varminter in 204 ruger. It is a lot of fun to shoot, and seems to prefer 40gr bullets over the 32's. Low recoil and pretty easy on the powder....

Thanks everyone yes they are a great time, they just have a certain feel to them.
Square butte- yes the Hamilton has a bronze sleeve that you could change out when needed. Mine seems to be in...

I had a chance this weekend to get out some old 22 take downs that I have and shoot them.
The pump is a 1890 winchester in 22 short that was my grandfathers' then my uncle's then my dad's now...

I'm pretty fond of the 180 gr WFN that runs in the group buys from time to time.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
I like the TC triggers much better than the S&W triggers. To me there is a big differance between the two of them. The old ones were much smoother at least to me.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
That's great, you'll love the conversion.
WOW that is real nice, I sure like the file work on the back.
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Even a small amount for free is better than paying for them.
I'm in on the group buy for the 009 and hopefully it will shoot well in the boy's BLR. I don't have much experiance with the 358 but have always felt it was under appreciated.

Now that is hunting!!! Nice looking deer.

Thank you, that is where I will start. Yes it is for a 15" pistol.

I'm wanting to try and load some lead boolits in a 30TC but am short on load data. Is there any reason I couldn't start out with a starting load for a cast boolit in a 308 or 300 savage and go from...
