My oldest is a Merwin & Hulbert made somewhere between 1886 and 1891. A fire in the factory destroyed the records, so a precise birth date is about impossible.

So, I’ve been lurking on this thread for a long time and bought some HF red and HF yellow about a year ago, but never gave it a try, until today. I tossed some Airsoft BB’s into two #5 Ziplock...

I just acquired a box of Speer 38 Target plastic bullets, designed to be loaded in a 38 special case, and fired indoors with a large primer. That sure had me confused, as I did not know 38 special...

There is no policy at my office with regard to firearms, and I'm not about to get one started. I'm not going to ask, and I'm not going to tell. That being said, I'm only in the office now and then....

I've seen this question come up before, in various forms, and I almost always feel the same way: use it and enjoy it. But to each his own. Sometimes folks get more joy in the possession of an object...

About a year ago I was looking at primers running $39/K at one LGS about 25 miles from home (it was high, but at least they had them). At another LGS about 25 miles in the other direction the owner...

I don't get asked questions very often at the private club I belong to, and no one has ever offered to give me unsolictied advice. I generally go at the same time each trip, so I often see the same...

A downside to using wadcutters as SD rounds is that they are can be hard to load from a speed-loader. I would carry loaded with wadcutters, and perhaps carry something more speed-loader friendly as...

Today I cast just over 200 boolits with Mihec's 45-255 mold; half with the round pins and half with the penta pins.

My wife likes 4.3 grains of WST under a 175 grain full wadcutter (Accurate Molds #45-170W) for her 45 ACP revolver.

You've got some serious rats with a high iron/steel diet!

My wife wasn't too interested in guns or shooting...at first. But she didn't mind me pursuing my hobby. I encouraged her to come to the range a few times, and she warmed up to the .22 Henry rifle,...

I think I have 13 (I'm out of town on business and can't count them at the moment). Some are works of art, some are fairly old, some are pretty new, one is darn near junk. One is brass (the work of...

I have Lee's, Lyman's, Ideal's, an Accurate, a Thompson, a Ranch Dog, and a true work of art from MiHec. They all drop good, usable boolits when used correctly. The issues I have with the Lee's is...

I have read somewhere that the reason was this: killing a soldier took one soldier out of the battle. Wounding a soldier took at least three soldiers out of the battle (the wounded soldier and at...

I hear you on that. Not many LGS around here. One 35 miles away sometimes has some powder and primers, sometimes not. There is another one, newer and a bit closer. Went in the first time a month or...

I wouldn't be overly worried about smoke at an indoor range. Smoke and shooting go hand in hand. The folks that shoot indoors and can't tolerate the smoke will probably be wearing respirators. ...

I have given up trying to get lead COWW's here in NYS. This has been a state law here for a while now:

"On and after April first, two thousand eleven, a person shall not sell or offer to sell or...

I have a 4 cavity Ideal 358495. Its a 141 grain button nose wadcutter with a plain base. I don't own the 358091, but I believe it to be a button nose wadcutter at 148 grains with a bevel base. ...

Looking good, real good.

Happy New Year everyone! Loaded up some 358495 wad cutters in both 38 special and 357 mag. Might get to the range tomorrow, and that would make for a great way to start the new year.

Seems like most LGS's near me have at least some primers, usually around $35/1K. However, during my travels today I stopped in at a LGS about 30 miles from any competitors, and he was charging...

I'd like to pan lube some bullets using Darr's #2 (50/50 parafin and Vasoline) to use in my 38 S&W revolver. I plan to use Pyrodex powder. Do you think this will be ok to try? The only other lubes...

Just an update: I loaded up 10 rounds with 3.8 gns of WST, and 10 more with 4.0 gns. All the boolits were sized at .452, lubed with White Label 50-50, and seated to a COAL of 0.970 inches. I went...

My buddy and I tried the RCBS 201 grain SWC's in my his 45 XDs and had the same issues chambering. They were seated out just a bit from flush with the top driving band. We switched it to a diet of...
