BTW a year or two ago I bought a new Fowler mike, the kind with the mechanical digital readout. Fowler used to be mostly Swiss, but this one came from China. In all fairness, it is well made, can't...

Right. I went to buy some Tap Magic a few months ago, and found that the name has been applied to a "green" formulation because of EPA and/or OSHA. You CAN still get the original formula if you...

Ditto foundries...thanks to over-regulation by the EPA. Don't get me started.............

Yup. No fancy online ordering software. Email works. He custom casts so I can specify alloy and size, (or as-cast and unlubed as in my last order.)

John, did I ever send you the draft article I wrote up based on Chuck Dietz's computer generated force-resolution diagrams? If not, I will. It explains a lot.

BTW at 16000 psi, the...

An interesting datum, inasmuch as the breech thrust at 13kpsi would have been some 300 lbf greater than the .22 Hornets, which did shoot loose.

Have I ask you yet for the serial number so I can add it to my database? Then I can at least approximate its' date of manufacture.

Good for you! I've never fired mine, to my everlasting shame. It also has a mint bore, but somebody sanded the heck out of the wood, so it's not the collector gun it should be.

I kinda get the impression that he's not going to be shooting benchrest with it.

The gun is marked just .25-20 because Stevens never sold one for the WCF round, with good reason. (See below). The Stevens .25-20 predates the WCF version by several years, and even after the WCF...

Going way, way back to when I was developing competition loads for .38 Spl I realized right away that the one-size-fits-all Lyman M die was a serious liability. Back then there was no NOE, so I...

It's fairly easy to make inserts for a Lyman tong tool that will do the neck sizing, expanding and seating. Only die you'd have to buy would be the FL sizer.

Alternatively the inserts can be...

I've run across a 44 that had been .25-20 Stevens, but was rechambered for .25-20 WCF. As far as I know that's the only way to get one chambered for the WCF cartridge. The barrel has to be set...

AMEN. Same for .25-20 WCF. Most factory WCF ammo is loaded to pressures that will cause a Model 44 to "shoot loose" in a hurry.

.25-20 Stevens cases can be made from .223, but it's an...

There were lead mines along the upper Mississippi when the Spaniards still owned it in the 1600s. Galena IL. is one site. Dubuque is another

Also around the Wood River region of Idaho. They...

Couple of years ago I opened a can of Dinty Moore that predated Y2K. Nuked it and ate it. Tasted normal, and I'm still alive.

Also a faster bullet is moved MORE by wind, not less. Maybe counter-intuitive, but it's true. Has to do with the rate of deceleration.

Search reptile heater into Amazon and you'll find many inexpensive ways to heat your lubrisizer. Lube should be chosen for performance in the gun, not the lubrisizer.

Only the mildest nailgun loads are really safe in the old boys' rifles, even the strong ones like the 1915 Favorite and the Remington #4. Although that tiny airgun pellet will keep pressure down. ...

It looks to me that the case where it is expanded to chamber size is a lot bigger than the base. I think your adaptors are machined too small, as you said.

Quite a few of the .32 RF adaptors...

Congratulations. Scoped, I presume....

If brass weren't so scarce, that Mauser barrel would make a good blackpowder .32 Ideal. Brass can be formed from 5.6x50R if you can find any of that.

O.P. needed something six feet tall but collapsible to 3 feet to fit in his trunk. An expensive solution would be a camera tripod with a broomstick stuck on top somehow. Broomstick topped with a...

PVC shatters with even a grazing hit. Ask me how I know.
