Have you tried running the case into a Lyman M die or NOE's knockoff and then seating the capsule. You could always taper crimp slightly if needed. james

I sincerely hope you are right GWS, for everyone's sake. james

I have always thought that copperheads have a vicious look to them. Like I said, the fight is on if I see one.

Guys the old days of reloading companies being owned and run by shooters and reloaders is gone forever. Vernon Speer, Fred Huntington SR, Len Brownell and others like them are not the modern...

Copperheads and rattlers are my sworn enemies. There are no cottonmouths where I live or at least I have never heard of anyone seeing one around here. I consider the copperhead more dangerous than...

The rattlesnake and copperhead have the pit between the snout and the eye that is easily seen. They are called Pit Viper snakes and poisonous. Also your snake does not have the broad arrowhead shape...

I just found this thread and I was suspecting the sear right off the bat. I have both 1903 and 1903A3 and they both hold quite well. Changing triggers can be a challenge at times or even worse it...

I have some of the old CCC .43 Spanish brass cases and they are much thicker in the side walls than the Bertram brass. Most of the early Bertram .43 Spanish that I bought split the side of the cases...

There is quite a bit of data for Herco and Unique in the older manuals on the 16 gauge. But the loads mostly are for 7, 8, 8 1/2 shot sizes. I never loaded BB or #2 shot in anything so I cannot...

I hope you have a great trip to Florida. Sounds like you have a good handle on your agenda. I am with you, this ol country boy is not going to wrestle a Python. If I can't shoot it I will leave it...

I was raised in a neighborhood where there were quite a few WW II combat veterans who fought both in the Pacific and Europe. They all had actual combat experience. Not one ever criticized the...

Nice looking shell and a very good crimp. james

Good story and well written. Nothing like the death rattle of the enemy in the afternoon. Puts a glow on the day. james

I don't know why someone would not use a 12 gauge on pigs. At close range, it will hit harder with a good slug than any lever action rifle I know of. james

Audie Murphy carried an Winchester M1 Carbine and I do believe he knew a little bit about fighting the Germans. I read his book and I nowhere found a place where he criticized it. He seemed to like...

Pig hunt, yeah maybe, but iguana absolutely. Going after them with air rifles would be the 'safari hunt' of a lifetime for this ol country boy. But at 82 I doubt it will ever happen. james

Go gett'em Tiger. The only reason I am staying with BB is because I am low on small pistol primers and heavy on BB's. james

I know what you mean Steve. I used to swat them with a 2x2 about 36" long and then a 1x4 but the 1by seemed to push air ahead of it as I was bouncing then sideways without actually hitting them. ...

Steve, I will never catch you as the supple of boring bees seems to have taken a downturn in numbers. I saw one this evening and I got the little BB out and as soon as I stepped onto the porch, he...

Numerich Gun Parts have never let me down. Just bought a slide stop spring for a Colt Woodsman and it was the only place I could find one. james

I am now officially a 2024 ace with 5 kills. I got #5 this evening as he was buzzing around the wooden steps looking for a place to bore a hole. He was about 15 feet away and I tried to get closer,...

I like everything about it except the really high front sight. But I know that the gas system on the SKS and AK being on top instead of underneath the barrel makes a high front sight mandatory. ...

Hey, I bet you could win too. That is a bunch of de-priming work. james

I agree, a K frame Smith for $350.00 is a great buy these days. I haven't seen a Model 14 for sale around here for some time now. james

Nice write-up Steve. That ought to silence a few people. I used to shoot wax bullets way back in the early 60's using pretty much the same drill you used. However I never used powder, only a...
