Murphy likes you. I find the fastest way to find something I "lost" is to buy a replacement. My most recent adventure was misplacing a heatgun. I'm in the process of packing to move so many tools are...

'78 K20 w/ a 4spd. Can fix anything on it with a 9/16 or a hammer.... and a MIG welder. The other five Chevy/GMCs are all automatics so the 78 is my favorite. Cut my teeth on a 72 SS El Camino

The 221 Fireball is an addictive little cartridge. Reloder7 and Nosler 40gr BTs served me well. The NOE/RCBS .22 055 SP with the starting load of H335 from Hodgdon was sub MOA. Funny now, Lapua,...
My two cents owning both calibers in a Featherweight and XP100. If you rechamber, you can get a "better" chamber so that is a benefit. I am a fan of a larger case to allow for slower powder and a...

The cold meds have been like that for years. What do they make out of batteries?!?!

Sure, NOW you warn me! :-) Gun store, Home Depot or Lowes, it's a safe bet if you walk in one you will walkout with a wallet $300+ lighter.

For a handgun, MAYBE. Can't imagine that for a rifle. I've been to a gun shop with the used ones in a rack in the corner. You could fondle them all day without a salesperson even saying "Hi" to you.
I haven't had much luck with FMJs. I prefer the 40gr BT Noslers and a stiff load of Varget. H335 would not be my first choice but you could do a lot worse. I would buy Nosler/Sierra/Hornady tipped...
If I recall correctly, you may vary the charge slightly to try to improve the pattern. I have found the one inch per foot rule to be about right from a 4" barrel.
The round should not lengthen...

I have a 21 in .221 Fireball and a 22 in 6MM BR. The Fireball shot sub MOA with the CB load I threw together. (Way more reload than handload)
I haven't shot the 6MM much but either are quick to...

Your luck has been better than mine. It's not easy but it is rewarding. The girls appreciate it.

No data for the 28 Nosler and I didn't see any data for ELD-X either.
You will LOVE it. It will shoot cast like others shoot jacketed. Jacketed is even better.
I broke in a new 6 cavity 420-200-RF Lee mold tonight. Washed with Dawn. Set on top of pot and plugged the pot in to drive the moisture off and came back 25 min later. By the third fill the boolits...

More in the beginning but still not too bad. Twenty minutes a week per hive? I am doing my best to the hands off/let nature do its thing approach and just check that they aren't getting crowded and...

I read that Varmint Hunter Magazine took a turn for the worse with new management but it was still a great magazine IMHO. As much as I enjoyed the the technical articles from the staff, the articles...

Amen! There is always something to learn or relearn! That's one of the more interesting aspects of this hobby.

The Kirby I have allows you to turn the beater off. Why not just do that?

Sorry for the delayed reply. I have not used lube. I have polished or reshaped and polished some of the balls and that has helped. So has wet tumbling. I completely agree the friction can move the...

The incubator we used had a motor to rock the eggs and a heater for warmth. An adjustable opening to set the temp (99? degrees. It's all in the instructions by bird breed) and troughs to set the...

Backing off a die only sizes the top part of the neck. You may find that advantageous, certainly if on a budget.
I have started to buy the bushing dies. I have read a report of a gentleman...

I've been reloading for 35+ years and your luck has been better than mine. I have had a few problems. The worst was a .416 spud in a .375 neck expander die. "Worst" being defined as a few minutes at...

Just when I thought I didn't want another firearm you go and make me drool. Looks very nice!
