Do the moderators not have the ability to approve members? Plenty of moderator activity since I applied the second time. Seems like a very informative board, but someone messaged me and told me...

Most any 'cowboy action' load should be safe. I'm running 6.4 grains of unique and a cci 300 large pistol primer with a 230 LEAD round nose. They say these shouldn't be used with jacketed bullets...

Nice! I love 1858s, I have a pair of them now. One I mainly use for bp, the other with a conversion cylinder. I think they're pretty versatile in 45 colt, and even though I have a Glock, a Ruger,...

I used to have a 'shooter grade' 1905 Hand Ejector in 38 Special. Dated to the late 1920's. I removed the original grips and saved them, then put a pair of surplus WWII Model 10(?) grips that I...

The lever merely secures the cylinder pin in place; it works via a tiny spring in the rear section. When you push the pin back into place, the lever snaps up gently but firmly. I made this one for...

Home made quick release lever from aluminum. Very fast cylinder changes. I'm not really into cowboy action shooting, this is fast becoming my favorite woods gun. With the 45 Colt cylinder, some...

Your third sentence seems to apply more to BP shooters than to SP shooters. Why would any one load up an outdated rifle, that has been obsolete for a century for any reason other than to occupy...

Mine looks like confetti. I pay a lot less attention to the paper in front of the muzzle than I do the paper on the target backer (very humbly, but quite sincerely).

I like to measure 5 (or 10) sheets of paper and divide by 5 (or 10, depending). That way my instrument doesn't have to be as precise, and I get a better 'average'.

Good GRACIOUS! I never knew artillery could come with such a pretty stock and sighting package!!:-D

I live on the NC coast, the Gulf Stream sweeps very close to us, and humidity, well, sometimes we can barely see the Outer Banks a mile away through the 'whiteout' we get in late summer. You might...

Also,

You won't need a gas check. That's the point of patching! And I've been using the expander ball from my 7.62x39 sizing die (any .311 expander will do) to expand the case neck to allow the...

Tom,

I'm not going to claim this is safe, I don't like the bullet diameter, but I have done this and so far so good. I"ve fired about a dozen or so at 25 yards for starters, and am about to load...

I don't know if this would interest you, but I've had good success patching bullets dropped from a lee .45 lc pistol bullet die. The Lee 300 gr .452, with a double wrapped patch of tracing paper,...

Well, the Hard apple cider tastes like hootch to me! Looks like I may have to make another gallon or five later one, and bottle it up. This batch'll get drunk outta the milk jug it came and was...

We've been known to cook some like that now and then too. Ever fry some with Old Bay? Try it, but don't have too many folks standin' around, you might not get any!:-D

I got one of these molds from the Marlin Owners site, and just found my way over here. I hope to start using the mold January or so. Haven't even warmed it yet, but looking forward to. I've done...

I've still got around 800 lbs of pure lead plus a bucket full of ww. Now for deer season to end so I can make time. (Course I should be in the woods now, but that's another story).

You can often...

Boy, I'm glad I'm not the only one anymore!:mrgreen: [smilie=1: :drinks:

Sometimes make homebrew after deer season, and have some "hard" apple cider in the utility room right now. It's so easy...

Where can you find a used plumber's pot? I asked a few older plumbers about them and they acted like I was looking for moon rocks.:confused:

Hey 6pt-Sitka! I'm jest a'bettin that some of them Marlins have made meat before this season!:-D But if you're agonna get something with ALL of em this season, you better take some time off work!...

Thanks fellers! Wayne, I live near Harkers Island, about 4 1/2 hours south of you. I like to get up to your area about every other year for a weekend with the wife(One year VA, the other Wilmington...

Hey, y'all. My name is Mitch and I live near the Southern NC Outer Banks, and proud to be native to the area. I'm an electrician, hunter, target shooter. I'm a less than perfect Christian husband...
