I assume that is what the Hornady Cleaner and Case Lube spray is. It works for me along with dry graphite spray. But I also like the idea of the car wax for better rust prevention. That would of...

I bought a RC Supreme two weeks ago. “Made in U.S.A”. Hasn’t disintegrated yet!

Beautiful press.

I like that idea. I use a couple of squirts of auto wax in dry tumbler on cases. Why not powder measure surfaces? Thanks for the tip.

Great point about Lee making reloading more accessible. Whether due to budget or just wanting to test the waters first, Lee makes it possible for many. Also, even those of us that have mixed brand...

What is the twist rate? I don’t understand why most rifle makers give their carbines much slower rifling twist than .44 mag revolvers. I hope Ruger has corrected this in the new Marlins. I have one...

Dry graphite (spray or powder) is also supposed to eliminate static cling of the powder. Not so important with stick powders but fine ball powders or light flake powders can really stick to surfaces....

Ed’s Red is a great bore and general firearm cleaner. I added the lanolin option and it makes it much less harsh on the hands. I don’t know why commercial lube/solvent makers don’t include it. It is...

About 1988, Lee Challenger to initially load .44 magnum. Gradually added .45, .40, .30-06, .357/.38. Upgrade to the Classic Turret when it came out. Loaded everything on it either in single stage...

I have the TRS-25 on an M1 Carbine mounted to an Ultimak rail. It is not a combat tough optic but has held up plinking at the gravel pit. I can get pretty consistent 80% hits on clay pigeons standing...

Off hand I would say for a garage sale maybe $5/50 and $30 for the 325. More than it was a year ago but not as sky high as gunbroker.

Remington should move to a gun friendly state that welcomes them and has a good base of skilled labor. TX, AZ, ID, FL, TN, MO, etc. Lots of states better than NY to start up manufacturing.

Excellent choice!! Me too.

A couple of years ago I went down the rat hole of trying to determine the best ammo for my .22 rifles (sporters). I tried all the common brands and bullet styles then some if the European and US...

Exactly what I was going to suggest. A friend has a great 10mm load with Longshot. I have not tried it yet but it was accurate and seems less fussy than Blue Dot. CFE is great for the heavier bullets...

What? .35 or greater south of the line? Never heard of such a limit. What are the popular calibers there? .35 Whelen? .45-70? That seems an odd limit. Do you know the reasoning behind that?

After a about the third shortage I learned not to buy for the LAST shortage, but for the next bigger one.

Back in the 80s I had maybe two boxes of ammo per caliber and just picked up at the store...

I just discovered Bullseye after reloading for 35 years! I have always used W231 on the fast end. 5.5 gr in .45ACP. After the previous shortage I picked up a pound of Bullseye to try it out....

Good suggestion to scour the estate sales, larger garage sales. I would still check online sources but anything online you are competing against millions of other guys.

As the shooting...

You are getting good accuracy with what you have. You can get a bit better:
- Add an optic. For close in like that’ll I like just a 1-4x or fixed 4x.

- Try some decent but not match grade ammo....

CuriousShooter, this is a great topic. I would also be interested in seeing any comparative test results of CBs with powder coating and at different hardness day 12 and 18 for example.

One knife for all situations? It would have to be a largish folder since not practical to carry fixed blades everywhere. I would probably opt for a Buck 110 Slim Pro. Large blade but light and slim...

I guess not many shoot 4” .44 magnum 240 gr over 23 gr H110? A 10” bbl. should attenuate some of that blast.

Not sure I’ve ever been next to a .41 mag but don’t see why it would be louder than a...

Bayou Bullets sell Hi-Tec coated bullets that you can request to be sized to .431”.

I have found the .430” Hornady XTP jacketed bullets and .431” cast and coated bullets shoot great out of my...

Cleaning up should be a given regardless of what you shoot unless it is biodegradable and not something that will rot and go foul.

Just like you didn’t see any mention of picking up brass, but...

We use clay pigeons for much of our plinking at gravel pits. Also some pop cans, swinging steel plates, spent shotgun shells.

Casual shooting at reactive targets at unmarked distances. We plink...
