Where is that "like" button when you need it?

I'm going through that phase of my life and have two "off spring" that are "polar" opposites in that category; one is a "saver" of heirlooms, and the other a "Thrower". My "survivors" will have to...

I bought a new Savage 170 (30/30) when it was first introduced back in the day. It handled much like their pump shotguns marketed at the time, and operated reliably. My reason for selling it was...

The M1 Garand .308 version is more accurate than the .30/06 (original) IMO. Any of the “medium” burning powers gives excellent accuracy and velocity. I’m particularly enamored with 150 and 155gr...

I’ve used AA4350 in .243, .270, 6.5x55, 30/06, and .250 Sav. With satisfactorily results. It cannot be used grain for grain for IMR4350, or H4350; however, it will can duplicate the other brands’...

When I was a kid, every farmer in our part of the country used Propane (LPG) for home heating, farm tractors, and most farms vehicles (pick-ups, trucks, combines, etc.). I ran a car on Propane for...

My favorite press out of all I’ve owned the last few decades. I’m betting you are going to enjoy it - congrats!
The Judge is a compromise for a "snake gun" or a defense weapon, but will suffice (marginally) for either. The "riflings" tends to destroy the shotgun shell pattern of the gun beyond 7 yards; and the...

So sorry to hear of your loss. Your great memories of your Dad will become more precious as time deminishes the hurt of his "passing". Your Dad's character description and sacrifices for his family...

The Co Ax is by far and away my favorite press; and I have owned, or owned, just about every brand on the planet. While it is not as portable as some, it is the fastest (single stage) and sturdiest...

I use it in a .270 Win. with 150gr bullets. It always goes "bang", is accurate and gives respectable velocities.

+1 .45 Colt user that favors the Lee 252- 255gr bullet (unsized) in a 1873 carbine and 1873 pistol. The rifle, with a 20" BBL, is loaded to 1350fps; which is about 400fps more velocity than what I...
Oh BTW dt, I do still have my D.W. .357 with a 6" BBL. (The tool will go with the gun when I give it to my son in case he ever purchases extra barrels.)
+2 on the Dan Wesson being the best, and most accurate .357 of the "bunch". It has such a "sweet" trigger and short hammer "fall" that has never been duplicated by another maker. IMO, D.W would never...

Look at all the “Christian” beliefs of our religion where some are for abortion and some against; some for the Jewish state and some for a “two state solution”; and some for including all manner of...

I've used paper patches in a .318 caliber drilling when the "odd ball" bullets were all but impossible to find. By using "Bond" paper cut in strips long enough to wrap twice around the lower portion...

My favorite .45 Colt 230gr cast load is loaded with 6.0gr Trail Boss. I leave the bullet "unsized", which is usually cast .453 to .4535 diameter, and use a Lee Crimp die after seating. Nice easy load...

Jack O'Conner was above all one of the best writers and "story tellers" of the "hunt". IMO, he could put you at the very scene of a hunting venture imagining all the sights and sounds to be...

Thank you Mr. Gibson (et.al) for the excellent information regarding the "X" die! (I have "book marked" this information for future reference.) I have also used the '06 "X" die for my BAR (NOT WWII...

I think diesel for a truck or car was mentioned of things to save - I agreed. It stores at least 10 times longer than regular gas; and cooking oil, or rendered animal fat can be used in its place (if...

Add AA2520 powder to all the others mentioned; it "measures" as easily as Win748.
Forum: Factory Rifles
I've owned the 6.5X55 in a Rem.700(ltd), Ruger 77, CZ550 carb., M96, and Tikka T3x - I kept the Tikka. It is the most accurate; has the best trigger; and is the lightest of the "bunch". The Tikka...
My most accurate cast bullet in my 1873 Uberti revolvers are unsized .453 diameter 255gr bullets from a Lee mold. I’ve also used factory cast that mikes .452 that are almost as accurate. The bullet I...
A .357 Magnum would be my choice for the following reasons: 1) small, economical powder capacity 2) small ammo carry requirement, ie. can carry more rounds with less weight than competing cartridges...
