I don't have a lot of posts here, but I easily have 40,000 plus posts on boards around the net. I don't "nose pick" as my 7th grade teacher called it. That might be related.

I made a portable bench. I have a full sized bench in the garage, but it gets really hot in the summer. 47629
That's an unfinished pic (no varnish, hardware, or molding) but it gives you an idea.

I figured it would be wise to figure out the BHN just to make sure that my casts are being made with a consistent alloy... but if folks genuinely believe that it is unimportant, I guess I don't need...

If I knew anyone that far north, I'd have them call, but all the folks I know in Italy are in the heel of the boot.

How do you find out the Brinell hardness number of your bullets/lead/etc? I should add... without paying hundreds or thousands for the machines I've seen?

Better to have hot lead in your mouth than pee...

I'd reverse that. I didn't really learn English grammar until I learned Latin. It's difficult to learn something if you have nothing to which you can compare it. Just goes to show that people who are...

I hadn't seen anything in some time... but try emailing or PMing?

You know... come to think of it, I had a headache (I know it isn't a migraine) which behaved a lot like a migraine. The pain was on one side... made my eyes hurt... even caused some visual problems....

Split infinitive: An infinitive is a type of verb, made up of the word "to" and the verb... like "To go" or "To cast (boolits)." Splitting the infinitive means to add a word between "to" and the...

I clean my rifle as often as I can, but I don't usually make it a point of cleaning before I switch from jacketed to cast.
And that was the complete opposite of a stupid question.
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Well, that's a load off my mind. Still, I suppose I should get tested? I don't think I touch the lead all that much except the finished bullets, but I do drink while casting. It gets hot out there,...

I have a migraine right now. But she cooks so well, I don't have the heart to get rid of her. ;)
Just kidding... love my wife. She, on the other hand, often suffers from migraines. I feel terrible...

I still remember on another board where someone tried to correct my English. I do make mistakes... but I feel that it is poor behavior to correct someone's language on a board unless it is so...

I really wish people who throw together all this **** (the origin of this story, NOT the OP for this thread) could be thrown in jail. It isn't freedom of speech, it's just libel. If only someone...

"Irregardless" is still nonstandard English. There are some folks questioning whether it should be upgraded to being somewhat tolerated... but it still isn't quite kosher.

The episode was called "The Omega Glory." An excellent episode which almost became the pilot for ST.
And again... I don't allow people to claim texting as an excuse. If you text, text with...

I invested 160 in my original casting kit. $90 for an RCBS mould plus maybe $20 for sizing die and top punch. That had me ready. I've added a bit here and there... But it cost me around $300 to get...

Trust me... I went that way. I'm still going that way. You can do better. You likely already have.

No... I meant "penigram." Witchywoman, on the other hand, likely meant "pentagram."

Paypal caters to other businesses as well. I've never sold anything through ebay. Does that mean that if I don't do business, but my brother pays me back for something through Paypal, they're going...

You know... I never really thought about it! I wear glasses while shooting, but haven't worn them while casting. I've had drops hit my hand, arm, etc. I even had a very brief visit from the tinsel...

I try to be safe and all, but I keep hearing different things about lead poisoning and how you get it while smelting and otherwise working with lead.
First, I smelt in my garage. I keep the door...

When I get a piece of .45ACP brass with a small primer pocket, I get so incensed, I just toss it in the garbage.
