+1 on Fulton Armory. I have used Fulton Armory in the past to work on my Garands and they did first class work on them. I highly recommend them. james

I have had people tell me that I carry my case preparation too far but then again I have not had a misfire since the early 1960's and that was a factory round. When I get brass, whether it is new or...

One of the Navy guys years ago told us about high school boys earning good money shooting cotton mouth water moccassins in the swamps around the North Carolina and South Carolina borders. The...

urquell, I have been think about trying to load some .45acp loads with rice or something similar. Care to share how your load details? Do you use a wad of some kind, what do you use to hold the...

After giving your post a little thought Kestrel4k, your reasoning is most likely better than mine. I know one thing for sure; it was a lot of work but it was well worth it. james

I used a mixture of 8 and 8 1/2 shot for trap and 8 1/2 and 9 shot for skeet (in some local matches and league shoots) and never noticed any difference when using straight 8 shot or straight 9 shot. ...

I use to swing a 2x2 about 36" long to kill the boring type bumblebees but I am not as quick as I once was. Hitting them with the 2x2 is like going up against a good college fastball pitcher. They...

Well I got another chance today at a boring bumblebee. He was about 10 feet off the porch and about the same distance in the air. The last one was closer, and I got him with 3 shots. This one...

My skills are average at best. There are legions of people on Cast Boolits that have far greater skills than I do. Really I jus lucked into a beautiful rifle that had been hidden beneath a terrible...

You ought to have seen it when I first bought it. We had a local hardware store in town in the 60's and 70's that was being run by a really nice guy who had inherited it from his father, who had...

I know people think of the 16 gauge as a bird gun but I for one can tell you that the 16 Browning in my Dad's hands was a duck whacker. He could really handle that thing on anything he went after. ...

Around my area it is getting really tough to mail ammo, powder, guns, etc. You can't drop them off at a local UPS or FedEx store anymore. You have to take them to a hub and in my case, the hub is...

I have always been a fan of the 16 gauge. I have my Dad's old Browning and my Father-in-Laws single barrel. I had one of the early Remington Model 1100's in 16 gauge but was stupid enough to allow...

Sorry guys, I have to make a correction of my earlier post. I did not check the rifle before I posted and my memory is nowhere near as good as it once was. I haven't shot the rifle in over 25...

I order some from Precision just yesterday. Thanks to Shawlerbrook for the wads he sent me. Thanks to all for the suggestions. I need this add closed.

Mine would be the little Leupold Rimfire Special that I bought years ago and put on my Marlin 39a with Control mounts. james

NOTE: Correction of this post on post #22. james

The last time I moved was in 1971 and I vowed never to do it again and I have kept that promise to myself. I will die right where I am at and be happy to go to The Lord from here. james

Good for you. james

Rapier, I kinda miss the old days when we could spend a nice evening at the dump shooting the rats. Policemen would come around once in a while and sometimes end up shooting a little with us. It...

The first "wharf rat" I saw was in San Francisco in the fall of 1961 when I was in the Navy. He was climbing a cargo ships tie up line to the pier. I pity the cat that would have the nerve to...

After many years of using vibratory tumblers and a mixture of walnut or crushed corn cobs media and Car-Nu or other car waxes. I first bought a Frankfort arsenal wet tumbler and it leaked pretty...

Most of those rubber/plastic handles on presses were simply bicycle handles, at least the ones I have seen. james

I have never heard one legitimate reason not to use tarnished brass. Metal damage is another matter. And tarnish is not metal damage. my .02, james

I use a really fine crush walnut hulls that are called "lizard litter" that is used for putting in the case of lizards and other reptiles. It polishes really nice and won get stuck in the primer...

It may or may not have took 3 hits to do him in, but my Grandfather always told us that killing had a responsibility to it. His old saying was everything deserve to be dispatched dead immediately...
