I am fairly new to reloading and have run into a problem regarding conflicting load data. I want to ladder develop a .357 Magnum round using components I have on hand. The bullet I want to use is...

I am in my early 80's, still shooting, still reloading, perhaps with less gusto than previous years. Up until Bill Clinton was elected president, I keep a limited amount of factory ammo and...

UPDATE ON HATFIELD REPLACEMENT PARTS. After repeated calls to Hatfield Gun Company, someone finally answered the phone. The individual answering the call was very professional and I was able to...

Maybe I can reach them through the McCoys.......

I have a Hatfield SGL 12 gauge single barrel break action shotgun. As many others have done, I have made a number of modifications to it, the biggest being chopping the 26" barrel down to 18 1/2"...

An advantage of break action shotguns, single or double barrel, is that they can easily and rapidly be converted to shoot multiple calibers in addition to their manufactured caliber by use of drop...

This is the email response I received from Eastwood Customer Solutions. "Unfortunately for those units I have no wiring diagram for these units as they are assembled and tested before they leave the...

Thanks John Boy. I have not contacted Eastwood yet, but will email them. The Users Manual is useless. It only has the overall specs and some very limited instructions on how to use the oven. ...

I have an Eastwood Powder Coating Oven and want to add thethermocouple, PID temperature controller, digital timer, and alarm. I am looking for a schematic for the oven as it is delivered. Thanks...

I have two local sources, one is a traditional scrap or junk yard, the other a recycling yard. The scrap yard sells wheel weights for 15 cents a pound and the recycler gets 28 cents a pound. The...

Yes, definitely. I use a similar one. I only fill it up about half way. That way the ingots easily fit in the boolit casting pot.

I live in central Texas, deep in the Texas Hill Country. I have a scrap yard and a recycling center that both will sell me mixed wheel weights. The scrap yard sells them for 15 cents per pound, but...

I bought some lead cast to fit as a block in a SFRB. Rather than try and cut it into smaller pieces, I bought a 10" diameter cast iron skillet for $ 12. The 25 pound block of lead doesn't quite fit...

I am in central Texas between San Antonio and Austin and have two local yards that will sell me all the wheel weights and junk lead I want. WW in one yard are 15 cents per pound but contain a very...

Thanks all for the tips on sorting wheel weights and other advice. I stopped by the recycler this morning and asked if any other reloaders had been by and if they had bought any of the Linotype. ...

I walked away with only a bucket of the 15¢/lb wheel weights for two reasons. First, I want to sort the bucket to see how much COWW I get out of it verses SOWW, zinc ww, steel we, and trash. ...

I recently modified a "toy microscope" I scored on eBay for $ 6 in almost the exact same way. The only difference in my modification is that in place of using beeswax lube to hold the Lee scope in...

I am just getting back into reloading after about a 20 year lapse. Previously, I purchased all my bullets for reloading, but with the current and possible future political climate I believe it...

As a volunteer with the local railroad hysterical society, this weekend we tore down an old, dilapidated sandhouse down by the yard tracks. What a surprise when under the floorboards I unearthed a...

It ain't just France bro (and Blacksmith actually is my biological brother, :)). Most of Europe is like that, can't speak for middle east or far east as I haven't been there, but I have been all...

I carry my get home supplies (basic tools, fire, water purification, medical, etc.) all in a tan colored photographer's vest in my truck at all times. It is fairly non-descript and distributes the...

Only reason to carry a gun and ammo (and I do constantly) is to fight my way back to my truck where I have heavier guns and more ammo as well as a get home bag and a stash of food and water to fight...
