Forum: Rimfire Area
I'm not real sure about the lead, it's the lube/coating that I think the manufacturers have cut costs on. At one time, I remember, there were two basic types of lube on 22LR. I'm talking about...

I gave a Remington 22 to my grandson about twenty years ago. Last year he brought it to me and said that it wasn't accurate any more, and asked if I could get a new barrel for it. He had looked...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Most of my shotshell presses are set up for one particular load. The hull, primer, powder type and charge weight, and the shot charge weight don't change. The only thing that changes on each...

But that's for the antique/original/vintage/hard to find wheel weights! :???:

My favorite for furry woodland creatures is the Lyman 225438 with Trailboss pushing it. I can get from 22LR speeds up to fast enough to start opening the groups up with that combination. It also...

Why? In a single shot the 30-30 has better ballistics, has a better neck length for cast and can use pointy bullets/boolits if you want. In my opinion the rimmed cartridge is a better choice for...

I am a sponser for Team Boolits, and I contributed to the server drive. I don't and didn't do these things because I felt obligated to, I did them because I DIDN'T feel obligated to. This site has...

The last time I smelt wheel weights they didn't have a smell, unless I had left a valve stem in the pot with them!:kidding:
With theses tired old eyes it's quite possible that I'm seeing things, but it looks to me like there's a chip missing on the portion of the frame where the hammer face hits. It also looks like the...

HaHaHa!! It's against the law to get caught shooting any cat here in Virginia. I guess PETA convinced some of our bleeding heart legislators that they were all "companion animals". Obviously they...

Dick, that sounds like a great family day out! It's great when you can do something that you enjoy, and somebody else gets a benefit from it too. I just have to ask, what's a "field lion"? This is...
Forum: Our Chapel
First off, I'm not comparing software, just stating my experience. As a working stiff that likes to read his Bible as occasions arise, I like a bible program that I can use on my smartphone. It's...

Every year we have a "shad planking". It's more of a political event than anything else. I've been told that the best way to fix them is to clean and scale them, tack them to a wooden plank and set...

My Loadmaster handles '06 and 270 cases without a problem. Just sayin'

First off - WELCOME !!!:lovebooli
To answer your question, it would be hard to beat Lyman's "Cast Bullet Handbook" for an introduction and reference for beginning casters. You will quickly find...
Forum: Cast Boolits
All of the above is true, for bottlenecked cases. Checks will not come off in a straight walled case. How could they unless they were smaller in diameter than the bullet? Even if they could, you...

I'll have to check, but I think that the RCBS trimmer uses those little pins.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I've always had the best performance from the Hornet with Remington 6 1/2 primers and either Lil'Gun or 1680 powder. The Hornet is the only bottleneck (?) cartridge that I have loaded for that gives...
Forum: Muzzleloading.
My Optima Elite really likes the Lee REAL 320 grain boolits. I just wipe a little bore butter, or whatever I have on hand, on them when I load them. I haven't had any problems with powder or lead...

I've had good luck with saddle soap and elbow grease. It has worked for everything from saddles and tack to slings and sheaths with no harm to some pretty crusty leather. It takes several times of...

Too spicy for me!
I just completed the purchase of a flintlock rifle from WCH. All of his correspondence was timely and accurate. He shipped the rifle very quickly after receiving the funds. He even threw in the...
