Never used AA4350 but have shot 4-5 lbs of AA 4064. It is close to the IMR powders but differs in dome 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 and 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...

In 1976, 22 yrs old, I was duck hunting on the shores of the Snake River outside Blackfoot Idaho. We were on the State side the opposite was Reservation land. It was a cool November morning and I...

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...

Only as a super last resort. I ate enough boiled wheat for breakfast growing up for my lifetime.

Canned foods generally start to lose taste and flavors after a couple of years. It can take 15-20 for them to lose nutrition. IIRC, the first to go are water based vegetables that leach stuff into...

I had to remind myself that beef dip and sheep dip are not the same. I was thinking something you pushed calves through to kill ticks and bugs.

My first deer with a handgun was around 89. I shot it with a 125 gr jacketed factory load, 4" Model 19 Smith. It turned out to be a shot at a downward angle about 40 yards away. There was bone,...
A mountain lion killed one brother and wounded another who were shed hunting in CA. The article reminds people that hunting Cougars is illegal in Ca, presumably even if it is chewing on you. Second...

Look for AA9, 300 MP or something slower than 2400. If you want a plinking load consider that PP is very closer to Unique, IIRC.

If you want to shoot 38's in it get the Lee 125 gr rf and load it with 5 gr BE.
Nueces, I like the idea of new grips and padded gloves. You can cut the trigger finger off or all of them just past the knuckles and have a very functional glove.

Powder coating allows you to shoot a softer alloy because of the coating. Softer alloys are generally less expensive, but you know that your alloy works. PC'ing it should not change that fact.

I don't know how many real bullets you will cast. I made a mini pot when I was playing with soft noses. Take a 2"x5" pipe nipple and weld a 1/2" piece of angle iron on it so that it overlaps the edge...
NOE preservative is hard to remove from molds. Make sure that you do the three warm up and cool down cycles.

I believe he is talking about the powder coating. PC'ing allows you to shoot a softer bullet until you get to the point that it doesn't. Your barrel will let you know. 9mm is a high pressure...

If you build it, someone will shoot it. I like the stands and if chain is cheap it serves a purpose. You can also use a drop down arm from the rebar as a swinging target holder. Local winds can get a...

Learn something new all the time. Every time I have had carnitas is carnitas de chile verde, which has no oranges, coke or milk in it. It's usually done from boneless shoulder roast.
