Well in my younger years our family would have starved without critters. Like ghosthawk said, pigeon was a readily available source. We actually went down to the river bridges in Des Moines with 22...

Got 10K LRP yesterday - better than running around to every shop in town to see if you can buy a hundred.

So what's the cause of the bullet being "cumbly" as the original poster stated.

if you consider crimped primers an obstruction and the necessity for a vise so you can grinch the NPT collet to a bazillion foot pounds lee's are great (not)

In addition to my Doc Savage penchant, I'm a sucker for the golden age of science fiction. I remember being entranced by "Ace Doubles" those pulp novels that had two books combined with a cover on...

As a kid I had the entire Doc Savage series. When I left home my mother thought it would be a good idea to donate the collection. Spent the last 20 years rebuilding the collection. They're not...

Anyone here from the old San Diego Scheutzen Guild shooting at Dulzura? There was a doctor shooter there at one time firing antique rifles that were worth more than my first home. Almost every one...

I saw some astronomical bids a few months back. Apparently the suppressed guys use it as well.

And yeah, every once in a while I get the "knowledgeable" range officer who informs me that "pounding the bullet into the barrel" is going to blow up my gun.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
There are accuracy stories from the old days of breech seating. One of the most interesting involves having a indexing mark on the bullet and for every round, moving the index 1 hour clockwise i.e....

Depending on how you're moving, it might be best to take it with you. When I moved to texas I rented a separate truck for my safes, ammo and lead. Won't even go into the weight but it was...
