I'll second the six o'clock hold necessity for aging eyes. It keeps me in the game. It may be just a preference but I require a flat top post front sight that does not overlay more than four inches...

Since we are kind of on the subject, "My Cast Bullet Krag Plinker " was in HANDLOADER'S Digest 1997. I have done some stuff on Walter Hudson, most notably "Walter Hudson Krag Specialist" in Gun...

It was Walter Hudson during his 1904-05 series of developments that resulted in the 308284. One of his early failures was the 308223 200 grain. The long nose rattled around under the rifling during...

Jim Floral - I am related to that guy by marriage. He and my wife will be married twenty years this June. By the way, he spells his name with one L - Foral, but that is a common mistake I'm sure he'd...

(I see that your overall cartridge length is just over two inches. With the standard Krag throat, you can easily add an inch to that. I have six Krag sporters with peep sights and load them in excess...

I think I would go along with those who believe that the .303 was always a .308 diameter bore. Muddying the water somewhat is the Ideal 308243 bullet which is said to be for the .Savage 303. It is...

I have a 99 takedown that thinks its a varmint rifle. I shoot 100 yard 2 inch groups and less all day with 311291, 311413, and 31141 and 311334. Mine wears a Lyman tang sight with a big Watson sight...

I think I still have that 14 gauge ball mold. An Ideal

I've had a few MB molds, the latest a DC for a 218 grain .30 cal. It's a good Krag bullet. As far as I know, no other moulds will fit the handles of MB and the converse is also true.

Deeply sorry for you. I'll remember you and your bride in my prayers.

I won't forget to pray for both of you. Stay strong.

I had used them and almost forgot that leading was removed from a .357 revolver with these wax wads. A gun writer friend, R.H. VanDenburg, sent me an envelope full. He swore by them.

I tried teflon tape on a smooth sided, grooveless, 30 caliber clone of 311291. I experimented with a wire wound bullet in the early '90s, wrote it up in Handloaders Bullet Making Annual (1991 or...

I have been successful in finding them in the trash barrels at our Ikes range.

I don't know if I discovered this or if it is common knowledge, but I have been using the clear plastic boxes with removable sliding lids that 22 Magnum and the 17 RF magnum cartridges come in to...

I know I've seen it but can't find it. Could someone direct me to a roster of Ideal Handbooks and which year each was issued. I am convinced that a lot of guys would be interested in such a thing at...

last year I used LP primers exclusively in my M54 .30 WCF. I did this to conserve the LR primers, It was a wise move from several standpoints.

All I use for cases are the 7 Rem. Mag. The brass swells ahead of the belt but I've never had one fail.

I have had a Ross .280 ( 1910 R.R. Co.) for over forty years and have always used the common .284 inch bullets and have gotten groups at one inch (five shot, 100 yards, peep sighted) but most...

I had one in .25 Remington, and it was an interesting companion to my Standard Arms autoloader in the same caliber. both are now long gone and I don't miss them. Into other things now.

I found today at the range 55 brass 7.62 X 39 cases, boxer primed. I don't ordinarily pay attention to this sort of thing, but almost all of the ones I see are steel cased. Does anyone want these...

I found one in 30 W.C.F. back in 1981, mounted a Unertl scope and made a dedicated cast bullet rifle out of it. I still have it. It has turned out one inch groups but averages 1.75 for five shots at...

Squib and Squibb. Sam had nothing to do with squib loads but it doesn't prevent people still getting confused. Sam had two "b"'s in his name.

I had an old man as a pal who knew a friend of Harry Dean. Dean was apparently a postman. Seems like Mr. Dean was always the broke sort of gun crank and the word is that he rechambered a .25-20...

My Ideal 38 S&W M is cut for 358250, not the 358311 like i would have expected. I think this was the standard bullet at the time. And yes, the tool is set up to load the .38 Special
