I've had about a dozen pairs made and none of them were as effective as the waxed foam stuff. The best ones I ever had were Radians 31 dB rated that some fellow gave me while I was looking for my...

Rifle season opened 3 Nov in Texas but the summer drought and October floods have not helped. So far we've taken 3 cull bucks and a 400# boar hog. The soggy roads took a skid steer loader and my...

Unless you are willing to throw the money into the fire, don't spend it on on-line auctions. Sure, most of the sellers are just trying to move inventory but you really have no idea who you are...

Conveyor belt pieces bolted to the back of the plate with grade 8 bolts work really nicely. Pieces can usually be gotten free.

Adequately annealed brass should blow out to the AI chamber with little or no case failures. 50% failures suggests that your annealing is insufficient. Work hardening the .050 of neck that is to...

$15-$25 per match is usual depending on how target setting or target scoring is done. Ammo and gas is usually more than the match fee. We won't even mention the money spent up front for firearms...

My daughter-in-law insisted on a pre-nuptial because she was flat broke but had no debt. My son had substantial college loan debt and she didn't want to end up bailing him out if it all went south....

Model 1924 Mannlicher-Schoenauer Carbines were made in 7x57 Mauser for the US market and 7X64 Brenneke for the European market where it was illegal to own rifles in military calibers. This is...

I have one, it is a real beauty and scary accurate. It was definitely not a budget build. If Ruger ever makes one, I hope it is a 1-V with pretty wood.

The overwhelming odds are that your caliper is incapable of accurately measuring thousandths of an inch. Borrow a calibrated micrometer to measure your slug before spending money on things you are...

“Soldier-proof”? Is there such a thing? Not that I ever saw. A SPC4 and a wet noodle could deadline a2.5 ton truck driving from the garage to the diesel pumps.

I planted some onion sets and ristra peppers out in the backyard, then the last two cold fronts came through and froze the leaves off the onions. The peppers have either not germinated or the deer...

Is it just me or has the price of gas cans gotten completely out of hand? The same, exact plastic 5 gallon jug that was <$5 with the old style spout that actually would let the gas out now has a...

@double8, we're good. Best of luck with your new brass. Conflicting advice is what the internet does best and it can be hard to tell wheat from chaff at times, especially when the chaff reinforces...

Remington's problems are far more complex than just 'declining quality' which is more a symptom than a cause. Labor costs in NY have hurt them for decades, union retirement contracts have bankrupted...

Assuming you have enough 40-82 brass, load 'em and have a ball! You'll have lots of empty case to sink your bullet into if you load smokeless. Use a heavy cast boolit. You probably have a mold...
