My favorite .44 boolit....so far.

Can't remember whether it was 350 rem Mag or 308 Norma, but it was about 1970. Both were loaded on Lee Loaders.

That's exactly what I said...

I have, sitting in my safe, an early Browning BLR in .308. I recovered it,broken, from the roof of a storage shed in Hughes ,Alaska. It had a broken spring and was missing the buttstock. Some light...

I made some 6% silver boolits. I got tired of reading all the reasons it wouldn't work, so I dropped a >999 fine silver ingot into a pot at full temp (about 1100 degrees). Actually, I seem to...

Here in Alaska, I've never thought about it, but how about tin? Or pewter, REAL English pewter.

Interarms 458 Win mag. 405 gr jacketed, full house. Loaded 20, shot 8. I went home and unloaded the rest. Shooting is supposed to be fun. Handgun, it's a toss-up. Ruger SRH 454 with 260 grain...

I just checked Midway. They have new 308 Norma brass. Haven't checked Grafs.

Congratulations, I have been shooting a 308 Norma for the last 40 years. I used to make brass from 338 win mag, but it is a lot of work . I finally settled on 7mm Rem mag. Just run it through the...

Another one gone..He will be missed :(

I have two Type 99 Arisaka. The first is a Bubba'd sporter. I bought it to build a 280 Remington. While researching parts, I ran across a Type 99 already done in 280 Rem. As it was a new conversion...

You guys might try contacting Bullshop. When he was in Alaska I was in his shop. He showed me a Ruger 22 pistol that had been converted to 22 Cooper. It used a Cooper case with a 22 cast bullet. I...

The last metal I bought was 200 lbs of Lino ingots for $100.00. It's been a while. I had a source for wheel weights, and got about ten buckets before that dried up. I still get the occasional bucket....

On Wednesday my wife and I took our 47 year old son to the emergency room. He had been sick for a couple weeks, with a bad back and what we assumed was the flu.He had been there before. They had...

I was new to the world of Dillon presses. I was loading 9mm with lead bullets. It's been so long, I don't remember the specifics, but I had loaded 1500 rounds before I realized they would not...

I thought my .458 used a lot of lead at ONLY 550 grains per each...

The wife used to suffer from SVT( Supra ventricular tachycardia). The bottom half of the heart is beating normally, while the top half is racing at 200 beats per minute. Scary. A doctor fixed it by...

Time does, in fact, stand still. The wife and I were on a trip to Anchorage from Fairbanks. The roads were icy, but not too bad. About 100 miles out we ran into a blizzard. I slowed down to 45 or...

My worst one was not checking to see if some loads would fit in my wife's 9mm. 1500 of them!! I said to myself "If you pull everyone of these, you probably won't forget it". Needless to say, that...

They would eventually tarnish like any silver, but a quick turn in a cotton cloth made them shine all over again...

A few years ago, I cast some 6% silver bullets. I heated the pot to it's highest setting. According to my RCBS thermometer it was 1070 degrees with 6lbs of wheel weights in it. I added 6oz of .999...

1200, heck, I have 700 pieces of new 44mag brass. I don't use it because I have at least 5,000 rounds of once fired , plus about 3000 loaded 44 mag. even have a few hundred J word rounds loaded. 9mm,...

I've used worm drive Skilsaw to cut everything from pure lead to linotype. It is so easy, it is scary. For thicker slabs, I use a 12" DeWalt radial arm saw.

I actually did cast some bullets with a 6% silver content. I used .999 silver ingots in wheel weights. I used my Lee 20-4 pot. Half full and brought to full temp. 1070 degrees according to my RCBS...

I have a Marlin 1895SS with 22 in barrel. I killed one moose with it,so far. I used a Lyman 550 grain bullet. I don't remember the load as it was a while ago. One thing I can guarantee though, it...
