I have a Colt SAA in 44 Special with the 4-3/4" bbl. Easy to carry and very accurate. With regard to DA revolvers, I often carry a Charter Arms 44 Bulldog, which is substantially smaller and...

It’s a common refrain - much of what is produced in China is junk. They are capable of better quality but they don’t send it to the USA.

Germany, Italy and France still make good products, and we...

Pretty much all day long.

Me too...actually we live in Schertz but it's all the same (and I work in San Antonio).

I live in the taco capital of the entire civilized world...you can get most anything you want - crispy, soft, puffy, etc., and fillings run the gamut - it's almost indefinite.

Nice job! FYI, blue or black Sharpie pen works in a pinch when you don't have Prussian Blue.

No, I have not tried that approach, but sounds easy enough - I have both DE and bait (just no flies right now).

Only sure way I’ve found to eradicate fruit flies inside the house is to take out everything they might be eating or laying eggs on, then set off those purple aerosol flea bombs (Raid or Black Flag;...

I might have missed it but didn't see where anyone mentioned plain old salt - not big rock salt but that coarse grind stuff that's about 1/32"-1/16" in size.

I usually shoot single wasps with an...

FWIW, I have a 50 ton commercial press and can see no discernible difference between compressing pucks at 15 or 30 tons (so I never saw any sense going higher). I suspect anything above 9 or 10 tons...

It’s basically just very fine dirt, so sprinkling in certain places, like out in the yard where it rains and the wind blows and you mow every so often, ends up not being effective - so people...

I put it in and around the doghouse. Keeps the fleas at bay…

Normally, “B” meant Base and “W” meant Wadcutter, but that doesn’t make a lot of sense here.

Pure lead shrinks more than alloys - which is why a moldmaker needs to know the intended alloy when a mold is ordered.

I agree with you - he uses that 225 gr load on hogs and it’s a good killer, but cattle are much bigger.

I'm very likely going to purchase a Ruger LC carbine - I like the look and the brand. Just saving up pennies at this point.

I have some big game experience with the 44 mag and 45 Colt but nothing larger than deer and big feral hogs. I also use standard weight Keith style cast bullets, usually in straight linotype or a...

Personally, I don’t use dividers - just make one puck at a time since it just doesn’t take that much time. But if I did, I would not want sheet metal or thin plastic, at least .060” thick and a...

The easiest way to make puck dividers is to part off discs on a lathe from the right sized stock. If a lathe is not available, I might try cutting them out of substantial sheet metal with a hole saw...

Thanks for the thread revival, but I finished shooting all of that mixed shot a year ago. Couldn’t tell any difference in the field.

I always felt the Krag was one of the last military rifles that was designed to be fired from an upright position. The stock drop and balance are nigh on perfect for offhand work. The rifles which...

I like to use an inverted black triangle pasted on a white background as a target - aim at the lower point.

It boils down to economics and availability. If you can easily obtain all of these powders without breaking the bank, it then turns into which load uses the least amount of resources. All things...

You could disassemble, remove the spring, then use Prussian blue on the mating surfaces to make sure you don’t have something hanging up. If everything is slick and easy, turn your attention to the...

I’m not sure where I read this, but seem to remember some writer claiming the early 303 rounds were necked after charging, which would have certainly made powder compression much easier. Supposedly,...
