I have plenty of load data for my preferred powders...Just can't find the powder. Having both is really nice.

Are you sure they still make $100.00 bills? I haven't seen one since 1989. :(
I have no experience with the .375 Win, but I've loaded some .308 Win with a 120 gr boolit over 5gr of IMR Trail Boss. I found it to be very accurate at 20 yards and sub-sonic. My son calls them...

Your hunting buddies look like they're ready to keep on hunting. Nice catch.

Thanks for the hunting story. You should write children's books. He really looks like a big boy. Congrats on a great season.

My wife supprised me with a Delton stripped lower for Christmas a couple years ago. It sat in the safe for about a year before I finished it up with a complete rifle kit from Blackthorne Products. ...

With an overnight low of 67 here in north central Florida, it could very well be too hot to grill out tomorrow.

The 50th Anniversary Breech Lock Challenger single stage press is the only one I have. I can't seem to find the time to keep just one press busy. I would have an impressive dust collection if I had...

Winchester Model 12. I love that gun. My dad had one with a 30 inch full choke barrel. It's the standar by which I measure shotguns to this day.

I do love a good batch of onion rings. I will be sharing this thread with the head chef (my wife).

This describes Spring, Summer, and Fall in Florida. I really do hate them...Chiggers too!

That's the worst, when you wait and wait for your brand new stuff and then it doesn't work when it finally arrives. Hang in there. You will appreciate it even more when it's all said and done. Lee...

I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family.

Everyone has really touched on all the issues and I imagine with some tweeks, you'll get things hot enough. I smelt with wood and had some of the same problems. If you look at my thread "Wood Fired...
When I smelt range scrap I use an aluminum stock pot that came with a fryer to toss the dross and bullet jackets into after skimming it from the top of the melt. After it cools you can put it in...

I smelt and cast outside. The pieces that are big enough to pick up go back into the melting pot, the rest get ignored.
I bought a pound of Bullseye last week, but when I asked if they had any Varget the guy behind the counter laughed at me. I laughed back because I knew it was a silly question in the first place.
That's the funny thing about a "lifetime warranty," it all depends on who's "lifetime" we're talking about. Apparently they are usually based on the lifetime of the company that writes them.

I love it! Every boy should know how to make things that go boom. Cherish the father son time. That Lee hand press is on my "must have" list.

I started both of my boys at about 4 years old on a RedRyder BB gun. They were still small enough that the stock had to be chopped about 2 inches to get it in their shoulder. I later bought the...
