Sorry to hear of his passing. A loss to the entire firearms community...

What a fantastic shot! As an ethical hunter I wish all the animals I harvest will meet such a swift, sure and humane an end!
I was just discussing the ins & outs of casting with a potential new recruit to the ranks over the weekend and we had a pretty good discussion. I started casting with used RCBS, Lyman and Ideal...

In terms of bottling moose, caribou or deer, etc... the process is pretty simple and can be done on top of the stove or with a pressure cooker. Start with sterilized bottles. Boil lids.

Saw MEC's new Slugger press for loading 12 ga. slugs, does the whole roll crimp thing, no special tool or power drill required. Has anyone picked one up and if so, what do you like/dislike about it?

eBay used to be a good place to pick up hard to find items that I couldn't purchase locally for any price. I used to sell a fair bit of stuff on there as well. However, the fees and growing...

The dies are interchangeable. I like the Lyman better than the RCBS. However, the RCBS luber I find is a better piece of kit than the Lyman, and RCBS stands behind their product a lot better than...

Casting tools, moulds, reloading gear are all 100% legal to ship to Canada and for us to import. If you want to do the paperwork it isn't a problem to even import guns from the USA. At present,...
