If a starling lands within 75 yards on a calm day, he's taking considerable risk. I shoot off a bipod and plink at empty shotgun shells out to 80 yards with good success. I'm able to take any small...

I have a .25 Marauder and like it. It's very good to 75 yards, which is about where I draw the line for shooting at critters. I plink at stuff out to 100. If the wind is 10 mph or less, I do ok. I'm...

I have a .25 cal Marauder rifle and a .22 Marauder pistol, like 'em both. The rifle just would not group worth a darn with any pellet until I replaced the o-ring in the barrel band with one of larger...

I am new to casting, almost ready to get started. I have molds and a small Lee pot, got a thermometer in the mail today. I have 18 lbs of a bullet mix soft enough to scratch with my thumbnail, and...

I'm new to this forum but not new to shooting & lead. I work in electronics, I solder at work and solder at home and have done so for over 40 years. I have been shooting since I was six or so. For...
