Was at the range once and someone snuck up next to me with a 50bmg. Had to wipe between shots.

I am finding it hard to get the right size roundball for some of my guns and was wondering if anyone here has ever tried casting them from WW and if so what where your results. I have a hard time...

I started with a Lee PPM and used it for years without a problem aside from the fact that it just felt cheap. I upgraded to the RCBS Uniflow and I regret getting rid of the Lee PPM because up until...

Not sure if this is the case with all the Forster trimmers but mine came with two collets. They are stepped inside so each collets can handle several different case sizes. The ones it came with have...

One thing I will say about battery operated scales. It can really ruin a weekend if you find out your batteries are dead the night before you go shooting. Always have a backup beam scale.

You guys have it all wrong. I am a single guy living alone in a small apartment. My reloading bench is my dining room table.

Whenever I shoot cast from my SBH people think I am shooting BP cartridge. I second the opinion that it's the lube.

I love my Forster. It is simple to use. Once you get into a rhythm you can swap out cases super fast and compared to prices of other bench mounted options it's tough to beat. Its infinitely faster...

I have found all of my lee trimmers trim a bit short. That's why I switched to my Forster.

I love my Forster. A little light gun oil has worked great for mine. I am not all that concerned about uniformity to a BR extent and I like the smoothness of a little light oil on the face that the...

I am a big fan of Saucony. I use the same shoes for trail and hard surface with no problem. The Grid Cohesion 5's are relatively cheap and they offer all the quality and durability a big guy like me...

I remember when the shortages happened in 2008 and the complaints would look something like this "because Obama got elected my local gun shop hasn't had primers in stock so when I saw that they had...

My Hornady gs1500 gets terrible reviews but to date every time I have checked it against my high end RCBS beam scale it has been spot on. It does measure in .2 grain increments though so it's not...

I don't mind talking guns even when I'm at work but I try not to advertise to strangers that I own guns to avoid having them stolen. When I go to the range I always carry all of my gear to the car...
I wish I had the tools and skill to build something like that. As it stands I was in need of a cleaning stand and couldn't find one for a reasonable price so I assembled this one from some stuff...

As much as I love my previously mentioned Hawken Woodsman I just didn't feel right not mentioning my Austin & Halleck inline. .45 caliber it shoots great but it's an incredible chore to clean since...

Market is what the play store used to be called. Some of the phones that have been on the market for a while may still have older versions still installed and they update after opening the market...

Best I have ever owned is my Traditions Hawkens Woodsman percussion in .54. I picked it up on clearance and I have been in love with it since. It's a great traditional style muzzleloader but it...

I do work with iPhones quite a bit as well. I normally recommend them for first time smartphone users but Apple severely limits what you can do with them. Apple has a rule for app developers...
Where would I find some of these shops, I wouldn't mind using a different type of wood but I have had a hard time finding exotic woods here.
As far as the reason well it's just something different. How many people buy a gun knowing it will be a terrible shooter just because it's different. As far as the look is concerned, the stuff I...

I work in the cellular industry and one of the most common misconceptions we see about smartphones is people that expect them to be easy to use. What makes them "smart" isn't ease of use, but the...
Thanks for all the great feedback. I worked with it pretty extensively after it dried out and never had an issue. I was hesitant to give away anything I made with it though. I do not recommend...
Yeah the lung full of sawdust nearly landed me in the ER. I am not thrilled with the idea of working with it again but for something this unique I think it will be worth it. I will probably let the...
