Lee numbers changed every few years and they never kept track of them. If it shoots well, congratulations.

Pure lead uses are muzzle loader balls, 38 wadcutters and 32 long speed loads. Far better to spend $100 on a Rotometals alloy and make several years worth of cat bullets.
If you study alot of manuals you will see cast in two lights. First is swedged which is loaded dead soft, second is for cast bullets which often have a few grains more than jacketed as the friction...

I assume that in Argentina they reuse wheel weights until they fall off. Are your friends able to buy old pewter as a source of tin? I would be interested in seeing if you could harden with just tin,...

See if there is an address or manufacturer address on the box. The green primers supposedly have a shelf live of 15 years so shoot them quick.

Elmer considered 1 in 16 tin to lead hard cast compared to such alloys as 1 in 20 or 1 in 40. His hardcast compares well to the ww of 1990's. When I hear "hardcast" I think this is someone who thinks...

I was the jerk who shut down a project with the new married student housing when the meter for unit A had the heating for A and the water heater for B coming off it. The place had been drywalled by...

I have 3 lubesizers on the bench next to an arbor press set up for NOE dies. I still lube some but with 30 cal and 357 lever guns you can shoot them at max 357 speeds without gas checks if you PC.

No one around here gets rid of Cast Iron. I bought the H.F. set of 3 for $15.99 a few years ago. It took a while to settle in but I use the 8" fry pan almost every breakfast.

Do these hang below the action or fit flush?

Nice going, it sounded like a fun time. I ate eel for the first time last year and was pleasantly surprised. I have never lived near water that has them.

My point is you may have seconds to decide whether that elk is 283 yards away or 329. By the time you pull out a range finder and adjust sights, it may be moving again. I am okay with using this if...

There is a community near me that half the town has no electricity, only generators and solar. Most haul in water and have outhouses. Many are just weekend cabins but not all. About 225 5-10 acre...

Most jurisdictions require a size pipe entering the house that allows you to add another appliance. With a 4' crawl space the job should not be unreasonable. You will need 120 for the electric,...

What range do you hunt at and what is your maximum shooting distance? Are you willing to watch a 6 point feed at 300 yards while the 300 Winchester stays in the safe?
Yes you can take whatever firearm you want as long as it is encased in a 4" coating of Lucite.

Size the brass and feel how much force it needs to resize it. Go over the base and neck with a good set of calipers, measure with a mike and write it all down, just use the calipers as a feeler. If...

A round nose may be the most accurate but it doesn't cut paper cleanly. That makes it harder to score and less likely to get a point for cutting a line giving you a 10 instead of a 9. It also slips...

Never used AA4350 but have shot 4-5 lbs of AA 4064. It is close to the IMR powders but differs in some cartridges. Use their data and do not substitute another brand. In the late 90's or early 00's,...
Up until the mid 80's Lyman would hp any mold in their system for you at an extra charge. You called the factory, told them what you wanted and mailed a check. I have seen pictures of 11 different...

I am ok with your choices if you consider the revolver as a replacement for archery equipment. Slow stalks, picking out spots that you can shoot and waiting for the right shot to happen. It may not...
All the RD molds I ever saw him catalogue are tumble lube. No standard lube grooves if they have been ordered from RD. NOE has taken over the design and may do with it as he wishes, but I don't...
