I really admire you fellows that manufacture your own black powder. At 77 years of age I admit that I never even thought of this in my youth and powder making is entirely out of my realm of...

I am almost at the end of my bullet casting but I have enough supplies on hand to last however many more years the good Lord provides. My main stash are stereotype pigs and these are the heart of all...

Hello David,

Great buck Dr.! I really enjoyed looking at your album and all those wonderful bucks. Your farm looks very nice too.

Our one week early muzzleloader season is over but it is...

I picked up some 10-32 screws today. As I looked at the selection I had a thought to try Phillips head screws rather than so that's what I bought. No 10-36 set screws though. The clerk even got the...

For years I have been switching the lock screw that holds the cutoff pivot screw in place. I am down to one and would like to get a half dozen or so to replace all the old, cracked or missing screws....

Dragon813gt,

I was waiting for someone that knew Boone's home state. I used to shoot silhouette at the Oley club. Did you shoot there too?

I use 3031 in two different Marlins using a variety of cast bullets. From the lightweight Ranch Dog 235 gr. to a Rapine that weighs 265 gr. and using charges from 28 gr. to 33 gr. I've found heavier...

I have the ancestor of the 375 Win, a 38-55 Marlin bought new around 2002. To date I have almost 5700 bullets through it of which all but 16 were cast. So your 2000 bullet stockpile is a good start...

I use some nickel plated cases in 30-06 and often wonder whether I would be able to see signs of incipient head separation on them. While the brass beneath the surface surely would I have no idea...

Contact my senators?? Casey hasn't voted for me, never. Our other PA senator is Toomey the Traitor. My last contact with these two weasels was this week when I told them I would work against both...

About the neighbors steps, please be sure they are concrete and not wooden.

I have pigs like that and I just lay one across two and use my old boy scout axe and a hammer. I hold the axe with the...

Many the shotshell primer I have dropped, in the dark, from a treestand. How should I expect to hold onto and orient correctly a 210 rifle primer? Or are these pre-loaded in a removable breech plug...

I walked past one of those "We Buy Anything" stores a few weeks back and they had a sign hanging in the window. It said "We buy diabetic testing strips in unopened packages". I guess they can't make...

I like and use RCBS dies. I also use Lee Factory Crimp dies and Collet neck-size dies. I have one pistol cartridge factory crimp die. A 357 sold by Ranch Dog, without the carbide sizing ring, which...

One cool morning this month I cast 450 of the Ranch Dog 379-250FN mould, a pre-production mould for evaluation. That may be all the casting until fall.

Peace to you and your family and your brother. Prayers for all.

Redding makes tapered 38-55 moulds, or at least they used to. I can't recall any particular type of bullet and i don't have their link in my computer.

When I quit cigarettes I used to put $20. away each week. The only problem I had with that was whenever I had saved about half the price of my next toy I'd start planning ahead to whatever was to...

RCBS stands for Rock Chuck Bullet Swage so who could fault using it to swage?

I recently cut some sheet lead with an old pair of tin snips. Worked quite well!

Chief,

Congratulations on the fine, cast bullet buck. Looks to me that you broke some shoulder bones. No tracking I assume which is perfect. Is that a 44 Mag.?

I have shot more deer with cast...

That bullet works well in a Contender 32 H & R barrel. TC used 30 cal barrels on their 32 H & R's. I shot many hundreds of those 115's with a light charge of Unique. Very accurate bullet too.

The last issue of "The American Rifleman" had an ad by Winchester for two M 94's, a 30-30 with a 20" barrel and a 38-55 with a 24" barrel. I really don't know but I would bet that both will have the...

I have loaded .454 bullets in the 45 Colt for a few years and have had zero problems with RCBS cowboy dies.

I would bet that I have run over a ton of powder through my B & L over the years and it's still going strong. I record the micro. settings on every load and store this info on file cards.

I also...
