I just picked up a 100 lbs of wheel weights from my long time provider of Large truck tires. The nice part is the weights are generally larger in size so it sorts faster. I pay a bit over current...

Short Version:
At 34 years old I started rupturing discs. At 52 I have had 5 back surgeries from 4 ruptured discs. 2 were fusions. One thought my abdomen to my spin and 4 through the back. I...

I’m 52. I have been reloading since 15. Took a long break but got back in 12 years ago and have enjoyed casting bug for the last 8 years. Health holds me back but...still slugging along.

Here is what 84 lbs looks like. It is really not that impressive boxed up. At top speed I can coat and size about 10 lbs an hour.

I was able to Hi-Tek 84 pounds of Boolits and size them this weekend. I have 30 pounds to do tomorrow and I can put my coating equipment (Oster Toaster) away for a while till I cast some other...

Hi
For a friend of a friend I’m doing research on how to get a el cheapo brand of Can to cycle on a Canik. It is a TP9sfx. The can is available on FB so you know that there is no built in booster. ...

My Disability check went up $30 a month! ��
30 years in heavy construction and 20 surgeries and still took 6 years to get anything.

I have a custom barrel target rifle chambered in 225 Win and it is 1x14” twist just like it is recommended in other research I did. My research suggests projectiles in the 45-55 gr are best at that...

I’m a fortunate man. Over 25 years of marriage and she has never said no to any of my shooting or reloading pleasures and this is a woman who really dislikes guns. She goes the extra mile for sure....

Sad to say this is the norm. Only child syndrome. I’m glad he did not ask what my garage looks like.

Yeah! How about that. I’m going to run the guts out of my Lee 4-20 with a Hatch PID since it’s working (I know because it drips ;-)) and paid for. Let someone else test out this pig in a poke pot. I...

Boldly mark the dies so no matter the position or turret you change them to you will always be correct.

I have used several calibers and styles from them and so far so good. Just be aware of the intended use and purchase the appropriate hardness of bullet to get obturation. They also can custom size -I...

No problems so far after several hundred rounds. I really like it! I will have to look up some of the loads details and will respond back later.

I’m curious if anyone has had success with a mold that can cast for 32WS as well as 8mm Mauser (different action types). If so please enlighten me. There are some older threads but they don’t really...

If I remember correctly it is a Douglas barrel with a 1 1/2” OD at the breech and 3/4” at the muzzle. 214160
That really helps about the sling and I appreciate the comments and pics.

It weighs about 14.5 pounds. It does NOT have a sling swivel on the buttstock. It only has them on the forestock and one possibly in front of the action on the bottom. Not the norm. Any ideas on...

This is an 1878 Sharps Borcharrdt falling block action with many custom components from the 40s-50s like Unertl, Douglass and Fajen. Original a 219 Zipper Imp but now a 225 Win. I always assumed that...

I’m looking into getting a T/C system1 in 50 cal with a composite stock and stainless barrel. It comes with a Bushnell 3x9x40 scope and some supplies. He is asking $125 for all.

In the old days when a big truck was assembled (Kenworth etc.)we would always ask for a “build sheet” from said assembler.
I don’t know!

I got 2 -1 pound containers of IMR Red for $15 each.
