I always seem to be looking for some odd item like this and if it’s not available through normal channels I usually do an internet search. You can try Google but usually it’s a waste of time.

Many people really need to record their old family stories. I think it is said that as long as the stories are told and the old peoples names are mentioned they still live.

12 cottontails so far and the inserts are working fine. If you want to get that old double going again this seems to be a safe, fun way to do it!

Sounds like you have everything laying there to do it, why not. The barrel could be sleeved the way deHaas showed. It works well and might make an interesting very usable field gun.

You can do it. Even Grumpa had to start somewhere. In many ways the side operations of reloading, case forming, bullet swaging etc are just as satisfying as banging out a million reloads on a Dillon....

That was him all right. He sent me some of the first 22 Jet brass that he came up with for testing. Good stuff and still using it. I don’t think there was a caliber he wouldn’t try and do well.
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
We had a fellow here a couple of years ago. Made some darn fine brass he did. I think he has passed now but I would encourage you to go for it.

It appears that there is no interest or offers for these parts so I am withdrawing them for sale and will move them to another venue. Thank you for those who took the time to look.

Try to find an older used Logan. Very solid and lots of parts out there. Remember, you will spend as much or more for tooling. Then start to read and there are lots of You Tube videos out there so...

A quick bump to start the week.

OK, finding everything up to Managing Attachments. I hit it and it says You have no attachments which would be correct. What I cannot find is the add files button. It might be right in front of me no...

OK. Found attachments on my CP but don’t see how to manage attachments. I can shrink the pictures but don’t see how to bring them over
You can also blow out 303 British. It I have found the extractor may override on some guns if they are a little loose.
