I just bought my first pair of progressive glasses and although it was a, short, range trip my vision was better than ever. I am, extremely, near sighted, and only used contacts, my whole life. I...

I use a luggage bag from a thrift store, brand name and, another, if needing a more, huge space, for lots of ammo. Probably $10 in both

I can't open these bags that look like they are made to be resealed. I have to scissor their stupid designs off and use a new bag. I think Aldi brand bags are horrible and use Great Value from WM. I...

I now use an electric griddle with tray and carefully guide the oil into the tray and use a very fine sieve to go into a couple jars. Yankee here but this seems to be a good method. My fat is a,...

Maybe try some tips here, someday. Every wet tumble attempt has left me with extremely tarnished brass in multiple colors. I like my Lyman tumbler with good media.
I never saw a hull and might never. I wouldnt mind seeing them being reloaded cause they always looked funny to me and I have seen some in a plastic shell box with other shells for years.
This got me thinking. Like yesterday. I had to grab a full box of Turkey load #4s in 3". 2 1/4 oz of shot. Just cause I dont hunt and have had a couple turkey load boxes for decades is no reason not...

Loaded up a box of .357, sitting for a few years. Not matching primers and a funny mark on all of them. The rod from the RCBS primer may have been flipped the wrong way or maybe too tight. Very...

I have a Lyman 4c and havent shot them very much but they seem ok and get an orange color now. My 1959 Uberti quickly showed it was really happy. Would have to get up and see if .38 or .357. Crimped...
