I've had the same deer rifle since I was 13. A hand me down, pre-64 Winchester 94 in 30-30. 16" barrel, with the chopped chort stock to fit my kids frame. At the age of 40 I've still never got around...

I think Tom at Accurate Molds catalogs a few bullets that are pretty similar to RD's designs. I'm kicking myself for not getting one of his six cav 30 moulds when I had the chance... and I certainly...

Yeah, we never got around the the FreeChex machine. I may have to stop out for another visit. Still would like to see that tumbler too, once it gets above freezing again.

Orville's got a hell of an operation. I don't know if he has other hobbies, but he's certainly whole-hog for that one.
I admire people with one hobby. As opposed to my... well... Project and...

Yeah, I pulled up the map to see if we had any "camps" in Maine. Wow, look at that. Two dots. In Houlton, Maine. My hometown. Scoped out their locations on Google Maps. The first one is a potato...

Yeah, I've been a devoted Leatherman guy since I was 16. I've got half a dozen Waves now, and I send them back in shifts for warranty. I wait until I've got two or three that need repair or...

Having handloaded for so long for my common handgun calibers, and casting bullets, I'm fiscally offended by buying factory ammo. I'll put up with .22s, they're at least not ridiculous, but the price...

I never got the tacti-cool black rifle and plastic pistols thing, for a lot of years.
I had my wheelguns. Easy to load for, easy to shoot, and easy to shoot ACCURATELY, which was always more...
I'm with Buckshot. As long as it gets there, should hit like the flat side of an axe!

Yup, gotta say, burning up a whole lot of ammo is just converting money into noise with wasted repetitions of bad habits.

My coworker rides his Ural to work every day. Rain or shine. It is his only vehicle currently, his wife gets the car. :) Watching him gear up for the ride home nowadays, I always joke it looks like...

So, found this gem while rooting thru a particular section of cultch in the garage with the old man over Thanksgiving. Forget what we were actually looking for, but I got sidetracked when I found...

Now, the thing that they DIDN'T cover (not that it was a oversight, just another thing it would be interesting to see) would be the sealed ammo can full of ammo... or primers... or powder...

Great. Now I have to keep an eye out for MORE stuff for another project. You guys are really selling me on this.

Good lord, seriously? Buy the thing, shoot it, if you don't like it, turn around and make a c-note on it at the next gunshow. I paid $500 for mine, almost brand new, and I only got two magazines! If...

I thought I mentioned it, now I see I didn't. It was just the little plastic feeder clip on the bottom. I figured that out. I was just fed up by then.
So how did you fix your powder measure?
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I did think of that, Mike, but a good catch. I hadn't thought of it before the aggravation of last night. I realized I was cycling the handle up and down but not fully depressing it in the "up"...

Oh, I'm a big fan of Dillon's customer service already. Like when my housemate managed to snap the SDB handle in half after I taught him to use the press. I loaded his ammo for him after that.
