Hi All,

I have been reading this post with fear and trepidation!! I am greatly concerned about possible repercussions for some of you, but suppose I should get to the point.

Do not shoot any...

Hi Floodgate,

Nope, I wasn't in a movie, but Gandalf was.

I had read the Hobit books several years ago and was looking for a name to use on the old virtual fly shop fly tying bulletin board....

Hi Bpost 1958,

I can make a wild guess as to the XRF devise works, and maybe if need be, Johnly can correct any errors that I make. The only drawback is that my explanation, even if I'm...

I told him that I had read that the Fin MN. shot the best of all of...

Hi All,

Years ago I ran a stretch press at an aircraft manufacturer, and some of the alloys we used would be strong enough for gas checks, IMHO.

However, that doesn't solve the galling...

Hi All,

I have been a lurker for a while.

A few years ago I started casting for a while but gave up and am now planning to try it again.

I bought and read (the covers off) the Lyman 44th...

Hi all,

I have a 6.5x55 Swede that has an oversize bore. In a post on this same subject, it was stated that Lee will make a collet die to a specific size.
